man, you just don't pay whatever they demand. Tyreek was wanting to be the highest paid WR in football. Doing that directly means minus 5 draft picks (including a #1, #2, two #4's, and a #6) plus the $75m in cap space over the next 3 years that we won't be paying Hill. That's a huge difference. This team wasn't good enough to get it done the last two seasons. Keeping Hill would've meant treading water. Better to rip the bandaid off and restock the cupboard.
I'm sorry you are still pissed. I didn't want to trade him either. But he's gone, and selling high like that brought a hell of a haul, and the team will be better off. I totally get why Veach and Andy did it, and I'm impressed, actually; I was expecting Andy to be sentimental and hold on to these guys for too long.
This is how you compete for championships for the entirety of your generational QB's career. You sell high, you buy low, and you draft well.
Better get used to it. It'll be Jones next off-season, bank on it.
And that'll be okay, too.
