I have no doubt he would like to stay with the Chiefs, but he’s gonna want to be paid BIGTIME.

The Chiefs should let him walk and find another one year contract candidate to pair with MVS, Moore and Toney (Hardman is likely gone too). If they’re not paying Reek top of the market contract, they’re not gonna give JuJu $20+ mil. per year.

Nor should they. I like him, but it’s a waste of financial resources. Mahomes doesn’t need elite WR’s (not sure if JuJu is even that) to succeed. This has already been made apparent with Reek leaving.

We’re 7 games into the season. Let’s maybe cool it on the talk that Mahomes doesn’t need elite receivers until we see a full season and playoffs. He may need elite receivers less than some QBs, but it would sure as he’ll be nice to eventually find one.
