Jets offer was

I wonder how disastrous this season and next off season would have been if the Chiefs decided to block this trade and think about franchise tagging Hill.

That would have been my move.

It would have been awful.

Remember when Hill refused to restructure his deal last year? Cost him nothing, would help the team. Nope. And Apparently was pissy about the Chiefs kicking the tires on JuJu. Pretty clear to me that Hill won his SB and has wanted to get paid and be a star somewhere else.

He won't be a star. Just a rich guy on a losing team with poor stats.

Let's be honest. If the Raiders showed up tomorrow and offered me $120 million, I'd get the silver and black tattoo this afternoon. Can't blame Reek for cashing out big in the back half of his career.

Right.

But we also aren’t operating in that universe.

Let’s presume he had 4/80 on the table and took the 4/120.

You’re (unfortunately) right that I haven’t ever had the opportunity to turn down 40 million. But I’ve also never had the opportunity to lock in 80 million and set myself up forever. And while setting myself up forever I get to continue to to play with the best that ever played and one of the best coaches ever.

Instead of taking 50% more to play with god ****ing Tua, in a shithole that recently got accused of Actively throwing games and let’s be real here, has no shot at winning.

I’ve never had to make the call. And I can’t pretend to enter that headspace. It’s just a different world than I’ve ever been in.

But from my podunk shitheel life that is most certainly not set, I’d have to give it some real thought.

I think Reek got his ring, has had 6 pro bowl seasons, is still a scary ass weapon so he got paid big, gets to live in Miami so when his team sucks at least there's a beach...

...I mean, I get it...

But if it's just entertainment, you can play with the best QB ever and one of the best coaches ever and still shit the bed in 2 out of 4 AFC Championship Games and correspondingly go 1-1 in Super Bowls...that's the pinnacle for non-Brady QB'ed teams in the new era.

You only get one ring if your name isn't Brady or Manning.

Look at what happened to Drew Brees in that NFC Championship Game in Jan 2019.

So, Tyreek won a SB, hit 6 straight Pro Bowls, and is probably the best WR in the league. Period.

So, honestly, he's getting an extra $40m to live in South Beach and run sprint gos and end-arounds on Sundays. Because he won't catch many passes. I'm sure he's okay with that.

I keep looking at the Deion Branch, when he was highly regarded, early in the Brady-era. Seattle traded a 1st to NE for him, gave him a stupid big contract that he was never able to even come close to living up to because they had garbage like an aging Matt Hasselbeck and Seneca Wallace at QB...so a couple injury-filled, stats-barren years later, NE got him back for a 4th rounder and restructured his contract, and his production picked right back up as his injury issues dissipated.

I could see that happening here.
