The question is whether we want to pay him again. And if there's any possibility you're paying him for what he's done rather than what he'll do, the answer is no.
It's not as simple as you're making it. The Chiefs have set Hill up for life - any 'moral dilemma' has since been resolved. He's a wealthy man and Clark Hunt signed every last one of those checks.
So now the question becomes if you think you'll get commensurate value for the checks he wants you to write him going forward. If that answer is no, then you don't continue to write them. Especially if part of that calculus is what you lose in terms of picks and cap capital by paying him instead of trading him.
Nobody's talking out of both sides of their mouth here. Nobody in this organization has been done wrong by the Chiefs.
But hard decisions oftentimes must be made.

JFC man outside of quarterbacks you can make a genuine argument he is a top 5 player in the game. He was just ranked inside the top ten of NFL top 100. You dont let players like that walk. He is 28 not 33. Pristine shape for a 28 year old I might add. Zero significant injury history that would impact his longevity.
You give the best wide receiver in the history of your franchise the benefit of the doubt if the decision isnt crystal clear one way or the other. Period. Go to battle with your guys
