Adding a Retread WR?

[Couch-Potato]

Tyreek might be done, what are our thoughts on the remaining available retread WRs? Per ESPN, below are the best available:

Kelvin Benjamin
Dez Bryant
Michael Crabtree
Michael Floyd
Pierre Garcon
Justin Hunter
Dontrelle Inman
Jermaine Kearse
Rishard Matthews
Aldrick Robinson
De'Anthony Thomas
Deonte Thompson
Mike Wallace

I'm thinking one of these guys could help.

The world isn't ending but we are not fine. More of the team being put on the shoulders of Mahomes. We really screwed up by not signing Golden Tate this offseason.

Even the great receivers were nobodies once, and even they didn't have Mahomes as their Qube.

There isn't a good free agent answer, and no one player is going to replace Hill's production anyway. We just have to hope one of the JAG's like Robinson or Dieter or Kemp can do more than it looks like they can, or that Hardman or one of the practice squadders magically turns into something crazy fast.

Reek really ****ed us in terms of leaving zero time to try and replace him. It is what it is.

We've had since March 15th to start making the contingency plan.

Trade for Larry Fitz

The only guy I'd even consider is Pierre Garcon, he's pretty old but he's always been pretty productive.

He's a true pro and would give all he had, but this idea is likely 5 years too late.

The motor ain't what it used to be, but those hands are still solid.

I think we were doing that in the draft this year already. Just the feeling I had.

There was never going to be a free agency contingency for replacing him, in any case. Maybe a trade, but I don't really see it.

He's a 25 year old with, what, 2 years left on his contract. Bit unfair to blame them for not having his replacement ready this off-season. Nobody saw this shit coming. He'd looked like a model citizen for 3 years.

Unless one of the UDFA pans out, the Chiefs will look foolish to not have added Crabtree. I’d be okay with Garçon as well. Watkins is gonna miss time. What if he isn’t available in the playoffs? Some of you actually look at the depth and think we are fine?

That’s a solid core, and even better if you include Kelce

Yes, if everyone stays healthy and one of our young players really step up.

When we lost Watkins last year our offense wasn't the same. When we went without Hunt and Watkins we struggled to compensate for our shitty defense.

There's a reason why people talk about getting a "Big 3" for their offense. We have Kelce but having your 2nd impact guy injury prone is not good.

Who is going to consistently stretch defenses deep without Hill? Pringle better turn into Hill part 2.

The guy we just drafted for that express purpose?

My guess also is that "the word" is out on most of these FA's aside from their diva personalities that they also don't like being students of the game and why they are still on the market. Teams don't like their lack of work ethic either.

[JohnnyHammersticks]

Dontrelle Inman was solid down the stretch for the Colts. Really solid. You could do a lot worse than having him in your WR rotation.

[Couch-Potato]

Crabtree played for $4.6m and had 600+ yards

Wallace signed w/Eagles for $1m last year and had 700+ yards the year before

Either would be a quality bang for buck addition to round out the WR core.

[Hammock Parties]

We're gonna be fine, guys.

Remember what Mahomes did in his first preseason...he's going to make some nobody look awesome.
