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.

Well Chris Jones barely gives you solid production much less elite production so there's a tad bit difference between him and Tyreek.
And how is keeping hill mean treading water? Does that apply to Kelce too? Or Mahomes? That literally makes no sense.
They lost a Superbowl because Eric Fisher got injured the previous game and the O-line was a ****ing mess and because Patrick Mahomes literally forgot how to play football in a half and the defense couldn't pressure the worst line in football. How does that equal Tyreek being a reason this team is "treading water"?
