Chiefs looking into Laviska Shenault

[The Franchise]

#Chiefs are inquiring about #Jags WR Laviska Shenault, per sources.

Shenault, 23, was a 2nd-rd pick in 2020 and has plenty of fans throughout the league. One HC told me: “That kid’s a baller. We loved him in the draft. … Only a matter of time before he really pops.”

Btw, SR+LJS=YSN

Hell yeah bro!

Didn’t DK already say he didn’t want to go to KC…?

[RealSNR]

I'd trade a 3rd round pick for some of the reeruns in this thread to off themselves Chiefsfan123456-style

DK will likely come in cheaper than Tyreek, he's younger by 4 years and the Chiefs may be willing to spend on him NEXT offseason, when Clark comes off the books and Brown has his contract settled. Especially with the Cap expected to explode.

No please, the price is basically what you gave up for Hill with the draft picks and Cap space when you sign the extension.

Uhhhh how so?

Look at it this way. These are his stats in three seasons with the run first Seahawks.

2019 - 900 yards and 7 TDs
2020 - 1303 yards and 10 TDs
2021 - 967 yards and 12 TDs

Great, right? Now put him in this offense like everyone wants. What do you think his stats are going to be? Hill had 1239 yards and 9 TDs last year. 1276 yards and 15 TDs the year before that.

If Metcalf has around 1250 yards and 12 TDs....he's for sure going to want to be paid like a top 3 WR. He'll be 25 years old and in a high scoring offense. Plus he knows that he'll get paid someplace else if it isn't here.

He could EASILY get paid like Hopkins or Adams.

Really neat that DK Metcalf changed his name to Shenault and stuff.

[lcarus]

I thought this guy was gonna really ascend in 2021. I wanted to grab him in my fantasy league. I'm glad someone else took him before I could...

I thought he was faster than he is. He's got 4.55 speed and I thought he was a 4.3 guy. That doesn't mean he can't or won't be productive but....meh.

Even if that's the case (though currently, DK isn't regarded like a Hill, Adams or Hopkins) the Chiefs will be better poised to pay him next offseason than they were to pay Hill this offseason.

They'll see a younger player (Hill seemingly slowed down a little bit last season) and they'll see a a greater Salary Cap.

And we already know the Chiefs were willing to pay out a top 3 WR contract.

So i don't buy it that they aren't pursuing this.

For the last two weeks ive been saying i believe the Chiefs will trade for a top tier WR on a rookie contract. I still firmly believe that and i'll believe that all the way till our 1st round selections are made.

This move has Chiefs written all over it.

And I honestly think DK might be a BETTER match for Mahomes than Tyreek was.

I don’t see it happening. That’s just me though.

Bigger target, stronger target, bigger catch radius. Not as quick, but can still get down field in a hurry and he can use his big physical frame to position on some of those off schedule throws.

We've never really seen Mahomes with WR's like that. Just Kelce, really. And to a lesser degree, Watkins. But a WR that can just win a 1v1 jump ball like that? Hill was aight at it, but he's only 5-10".

They tried with fat ass Kelvin Benjamin and busted ass Josh Gordon.

Exactly. He's coming off his rookie contract, seeing what Adams and Hill just got for contracts. He's going to want something very similar. He's not going to want any short term deal, he's gonna want his payday. The Chiefs would be putting themselves right back into the position they just got out of with Hill.
