I'd trade and pay a guy. There's gonna be one available, no one thought Tyreek would be there and yet...

I think Chiefs fans were universally OK with paying Tyreek Hill at the top of the market as it existed in March 2022. Then Davante Adams happened and blew the market up and he wanted to re-set it. At $30M/year, it didn't work.
I'd love for the Chiefs to trade for someone, but I just don't see it. Not a young guy who can be a centerpiece.
I know you're on Brandon Aiyuk and man, I love his ability. But trading big resources for a guy to then pay him top of market is pretty tough and has far-reaching impacts.
Especially when there are guys in FA who could also be huge impacts in a positive way for the Chiefs, for less money and no draft resources.
I'd rather have Marquise Brown at something like 4/70M + the 2024 1st (which I can use on a WR or a LT) + another $70M to spread around over 4 years than Brandon Aiyuk at 5/$125 and no 1st.
Or Mike Evans at 2/40M + the 24 1st + another $10M to spread around.
Now, if it's a Day 2 or Day 3 trade for someone like DeAndre Hopkins or Terry McLaurin (though I can't see a way the Redskins trade him when they're about to draft a rookie QB to play right away and McLaurin is in his prime). OK, sure. Let's talk.
There are a lot of paths forward. I think the one that involves trading a 1st for a guy you then make a top 5-paid guy at his position is least likely.
