1st + 4th = Ramsey

Fine. Ask for 6th or 7th back, but fine.

Just make sure we win.

Getting Ramsey would help us big time. A 1st and 3rd is not too much for him.

[tyreekthefreak]

Man, I don't know about Ramsey. He's another Marcus Peters if you ask me. There's no guarantee we sign him long term either, A 1st and 3rd for a one/two year rental is not a good deal.

[DTVietnam]

its going to cost a 1st and 2nd or 1st and 1st

our first this year will basically be a high second. .

same reason we couldnt get fitzpatrick

Seriously. How many HOF quality players would that give KC?

Mahomes
Hill
Kelce
Ramsey
Schwartz?
Jones?

Part of getting Ramsey most likely includes him signing a long term deal. I doubt he is ever going to be super cheap for us.

You never know,

Being on a team that could make the SB for the next 3 years could make him take a discount.

You never know.

Based on terez I’m guessing Ramsey isn’t goin anywhere without a new contract

If he would he’d probably be a chief

This is painfully naive.

TBH your statement is painfully naive,

You have no idea if he is willling or not willing to take a discount.

Some players do in order to go to a winning team with a Real Chance at a SB.

He has the rest of this year, and next year on his current contract. He is 24 right now. What if we extended his contract for 3 years, and gave him say a 60 million signing bonus? 60 spread over 5 seasons is a 12 million (plus the yearly base salary) cap hit per season. He is 29 at the tail end of the contract.



Just spit-balling on the numbers as an example, so don't shoot me.

Completely disagree. I don't know that I've ever heard of a case where the FIRST real contract a player gets was taken at a discount. There may be rare circumstances, but it isn't the norm. This will be Ramsey's first contract outside of his rookie deal, he's going to want the major payday his talent warrants. He showed up to training camp in a freaking Brinks truck. He wants to get paid. I certainly don't blame him for that.

Chris Jones was asking for Aaron Donald type money and he's already on our team. I just don't believe in the "take less money" to play on our team sort of thing, and it comes off as overly naive. Maybe veterans looking for a ring fall into this category, but younger players in their prime? Not so much. Brady does this because his wife makes more than enough money...he could play for free.

He’s gonna wanna be the highest paid cb

Made that pretty clear

[Coogs]

Wouldn't something like what i just tossed out there be the highest?

I like it. Not sure Ramsey or his agent will. I would not be surprised in the slightest if they are expecting a contract close to $100 million.
