Nate Taylor with a lot of middle-to-big-sized news yesterday.

[Direckshun]

This interview had a lot of nuggets in it. Some small, some medium sized, maybe one huge.

• "snowglobe" was put together roughly a year ago, and can neither confirm or deny it was a dunk on the Raiders circling the stadium a couple years back
• like the Ferrari plays, "snowglobe" was almost certainly a Mahomes concept before Reid/Bienemy refined it
• Frank Clark is perfectly fine
• the Chiefs want to re-sign JuJu Smith-Schuster
• Brett Veach has been a Justin Watson fan for several years, seems likely he'll re-sign him
• the Chiefs will draft a WR this year at some point
• the Chiefs could very well make an offer to Willie Gay this offseason, but Gay may choose to play out the remainder of his contract anyway
• highly indicated the Chiefs will probably make an offer to L'Jarius Sneed
• probably the biggest news: the Chiefs are going to shop Clyde Edwards-Helaire all offseason and preseason

I don’t see a problem with Juju getting $15-18 million on a 3 year deal. It benefits both parties.

Year 1-low cap hit
Year 2-medium high cap hit
Year 3-high cap hit/can cut and save money

Chris Jones and Orlando Brown Jr extensions push immediate cap hit money out. The problem is wanting to trade for Brian Burns and blow $30 million a year on him.

One thing they could probably do is appeal to his competitive nature.

It's not easy to ask a competitive person to give you some of his money to go sign players. But it's pretty easy to prevent that same competitive person from asking you for MORE money if it prevents you from signing players.

In that sense, just having numbers in black ink should work to the Chiefs advantage.

But they have to sate Mahomes in the process. They could give him a raise, yeah. But I think he'd probably be just as content if they tell him "Yeah Pat - we hear you, but we can finish DE1s deal at X dollars and WR2s deal at Y dollars and we kinda need Z dollars to make that happen..."

And because he's a psychopath, the former's probably just as good as the latter to him.

"Best sneaky acquisition" lmao, stfu.

Yeah, the number of snaps he gets is a knock on a wr room not a compliment to his value. That being said I love the guy on the bottom of the rotation for cheap.

There are very few people who can do what Brian Burns can do.

There are alot who can do what JJSS can do at a fraction of that cost. But carry on.

For a WR5, vet minimum guy, he’s been a killer FA acquisition.

21 YPC is nothing to sneeze at.

Chris Jones’ dad told me before the Titans AFCCG that Mahomes would take less than fair market value so the Chiefs could retain him. Dude asked whether I was a reporter, lol.

No reason to think he doesn’t continue to do so. Pat gonna be the first NFL billionaire.

We’ve tried to find that guy for awhile but haven’t. Jehu Chesson, Demarcus Robinson, Byron Pringle, Cornell Powell. And now apparently Skyy Moore.

People can point to that, but the data does not prove it right.

First, nobody should expect pat to do this. And good chance it’s wishful thinking. But man that would be a hell of a thing if mahomes decided to do this for us. He has such a unique contract that he can actually do it since each year is loaded with roster bonuses.

It would be mostly unprecedented. But the dude has a chance to build a superpower and keep a few guys he really likes. Would he sacrifice a few million to get him a stud of a weapon? Dude is so competitive and loves his teammates so much I can’t help but wonder if it’s actually in the cards

It absolutely happened. I was off by one slot on where Jones was drafted and he corrected me. Was within $1-2M of his son’s guaranteed contract number.

He and Jones’ agent were at the Lot J tailgate. Quality spread, good party.

TB12 took less, but the Pats tended to not spend up to the cap.

CHunt doesn’t seem to have that problem.

I’m mostly with you. I think we’ve proven we’re not very good at finding hidden WR1 gems. But jjss doesn’t solve that. He’s a possession WR with a huge target share on an offense that opens him up for short stuff. We’ve brought in lots of speed guys, but we haven’t tried as much with possession guys.
