Thegoatee 1,780 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Speaks volumes that the eye test of the fanbase matched Hitchens outcome very quickly. His instagram rant, while I understand the pressure and unrealistic stuff fans throw at guys, gives me some insight into what his “best” was perceived as in his own mind. Underperforming complacency relative to salary. I wish him well, but I am also glad KC has moved on. moons314 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Thank god. Step 1 of chiefs making good offseason moves initiated. This was obvious but teams don’t always make the no brainer moves oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamardirts 2,114 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I respect that he was a respected veteran than mentored some younger players snd knew Spags system. However, it was a horrible contract from the get go and us restructuring it made it worse in the end. Glad it’s over and thankfully the FO saw what was glaringly clear. I think moving on from HB (even though HB can still play well) needs ro happen if we are going to keep this window open for the foreseeable future. Plus it allowed Hitchens a chance to catch on elsewhere which is classy. moons314 and Troyofoc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his play has slipped a little but he is still a good player. Problem is when an offense can gameplan around you and you cannot make enough impact plays to warrant your 15-20 million dollar a year contract then its hard to extend/resign that player for big money. I think spending his money on a Randy Gregory or stud DE offers more bang for the buck. HB is the luxury this year that we unfortunately cannot afford, plus he probably nets us a potential comp 3rd pick next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhitter 1,424 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Hitchens was an average player capable of occasionally playing at an above average level. His best attribute was leadership but based on salary he needed to play like a top ten LB....which he obviously did not. I am cautiously excited to see who else goes and who takes their place.

I think he would be considered playing "well" if he was getting paid no more than half of what he got. In a realistic scenario I think Chiefs should just let HB, Dirty Dan, and Niemann find their path in FA and may be HB brings in a 4th or something. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
