I'm pretty sure we won't get a 3rd for any player as QB & star CB contracts will dominate the market but do we accumulate multiple decent contracts to get a 3rd or two or is it purely based on the individual contract?
They might be way under the 90% spending thing with that crap of a team for years.
With so many picks to build via the draft I think they might be safe to spend a few bucks in FA to get to somewhere around the middle.
I was expecting something like 30 million over 4 years but he basically got 2nd tier outside CB money. Good to see him getting paid, should attract some FAs to KC while bringing us a 5th or something with all these QBs moving around this year.
Always liked Gonzo but he's an all-pro and doesn't qualify. Since we are only considering guys that left the Chiefs my favorite is Tony Richardson. He had pro bowl seasons but only a few of them.
Mahomes is the only indispensable player and all the rest could move for the right price. If such a compensation is possible from a team like Seattle I think he could leave as soon as this year. The reality of the NFL is trying to keep everyone creates a cap hell that teams rarely bounce back from. Jones is a high priority guy but we have a lot of big contracts on the active roster. Would definitely love him to stay though.
NFL just extended the tag period a couple days due to the CBA voting. Not that it makes any difference with Jones basically a guarantee for the tag but it's just news.
Playing OG would mean facing stronger DTs as opposed to faster DEs at OT. I think the focus would be very different to actually be a starting OG while prepping for an OT role in the future. If you ask me our future OT should simply be our swing tackle and whomever is playing at interior OL should focus on just getting better there.
Not only it's very risky but also pointless to sign Jones right now. Just tag and work out the contract once the CBA is approved. We don't need the tag for anyone else and until the CBA is set in stone a lot of things could change.
The value comes with the depth at the position and WR is supposedly very deep in this draft. If that's really the case it would make the position the lowest value pick at #32.
In the end it all comes down to who's available. There's a very good chance that some top WR might drop to late 1st due to depth at the position for later rounds.
I think a 1st alone shouldn't cut it for Jones unless it's a high one. However it all depends on the demand. If we can get a few teams battling for his services we could get a couple high picks over the next 2 drafts and may even get that in 2020.
Trading Watkins for a position of need makes a lot of sense. I would consider OL or DB as the obvious candidates but not sure if any team is high enough on Watkins to give him a new big deal.
I think Robinson's value is somewhere around 10 million over 3 years. I doubt anyone will actually see him as a true #1 or #2 at this point. If there's actually a market for him it would be a whole other story but I'm pretty sure Robinson will want to test the market regardless.
Don't know about Breeland's expectations but keeping him would avoid a huge need that will likely cost our 1st in the draft.
