WR Byron Pringle is playing really well

Probably one of those stupid turn-a-7th-rounder-into-a-6th-rounder trades. If you were the GM of the team trading for him, would YOU be willing to pay any more than that?

And at that point, if the Chiefs think he's good enough to make the 53 (which is a pretty likely scenario) his presence on the 53 is honestly more valuable than the shitty trade return we could possibly get out of him.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah "But we got Charvarious Ward!!!!" In order to get Ward, we traded a former 4th rounder and starting offensive lineman in only the 2nd year of a rookie contract who has position flexibility along the OL. Not some random joe WR who had never played a regular season NFL snap.

Yeah, if Pringle isn't good enough to make the 53 and some team wants to do a trade, then fine. But if it's "He looks good so let's use him as trade bait" then that's probably a dumb idea.

At the beginning of the season with no track record to his name, sure. But let's say that by the time we reach week five or six and this guy is really cooking and we have the ability to use him in a trade scenario, what then? it should also be noted that it will be at around at that time or perhaps even a little later that a better player such as PP would be realistically available to get on the books, especially if the Cardinals season is headed in a southern trajectory.

That's....

By week 6 this guy is gonna be doing so well that he's worth a trade for PP?

Hahahahaha

Not straight across the board dummy. As a package.

[Coagula]

Barring significant injuries (and if Hardman fast-tracks,) our receiving corp should be among the best in the league. Hill, Watkins, DRob, Hardman and Kemp/Pringle/Dieter, along with Kelce and Williams. In all likelihood, whoever doesn't make the Chief's roster...will have a great chance make an impact somewhere else.

[notorious]

He’s going to go from shit QB play at KSU to the best QB on the planet.

No one is gonna trade for him at this point and if he has a good preseason the chiefs shouldn’t trade him

It could be a good opportunity to get some good value cheap wr play for a while

Yes people look at the 25 mil in cap space and think whatever but the chiefs are about to get pretty crazy damn expensive

They need some mid late rounders or Udfa to excel

No kidding. At least one of the starting WRs is going to be gone next year. We need talent to keep cycling into the position.

Actually I think 2 years from now, Watkins is more likely to be here than Robinson is.

Watkins I think could take less money to stick around considering some other factors there.

He's still so young, if they wanna keep him around that's fine. Problem is you just can't pay everyone and if they wanna break Tyreek off, someone else is gonna have to play.

[Mecca]

The Chiefs wouldn't wanna trade him anyway, young cheap talented players are helpful.

[ChiTown]

Our WR depth top to bottom is great. But, that TE depth chart after Kelce. Deon Yelder, Blake Bell, David Wells......hmmm.

It'd have been nice to add another quality TE via Draft or FA. TK gonna be 30 in October. That makes me nervous.

[BossChief]

The only WR that has any real value to extract right now is Tyreek.

To be honest, I’d trade him for Ramsey right now....we’ll, maybe after the opener.

You can’t be serious

I've kinda thought about that Boss. They stuck by him thru all this and by all accounts love the dude, but if the Jags wanted to make that trade...….I'd prrrrrooooobbbballlyyy say no.

But i'd think about it.
