I’m hoping with Pringle allowed to walk means Cornell Powell is ready to step in. Powell has return experience and is a physical WR too. 
 

Hill, Juju, Hardman, Powell, Fountain is a good group.

 Getting a speedster like Thornton from Baylor in the draft would really round this group out. 

Just thought about this, if Powell does work out, that would be a monster draft for Veach.

Yeah so we could watch him drop more passes?  Bad catch rate for pringle.  It was more than double Hardmans.  Couple that with an inability to consistently get off press and he just was not the answer.  At least with Hardman you could scheme up explosive plays.

I wouldn't really compare their numbers. Pringle was used much more in the middle of the field with contested plays whereas Hardman's numbers were inflated by those weird plays out of the backfield that count as passes.

Really curious about what they think of Powell. A lot of potential but some players take a season or less to develop whereas others need multiple of those, hoping to see him in the mix for this year. We always want star potential but decent #3 #4 WRs are also critical for success and may become the go-to guys in some situations.

hill kelce, hardman and juju ..  are 1, 2, 3, 4.. powell would be 5

Wouldn't that be receiver as opposed to a WR if we include the TEs in the mix 🤔

What I can tell about our offense without looking at the numbers is the following:

#1 & #2 receivers: WR1 & TE1 in no particular order due to Kelce

#3 receiver: WR2

#4 receiver: RB

#5 receiver: WR3

...

Forston was impressive before the injury, so we will have options.

JuJu Smith-Schuster deal is worth far less than reported

Some contracts get exaggerated this time of year. Then there’s the contract signed by new Chiefs receiver JuJu Smith Schuster.

It was spoon fed both to ESPN and NFL Media as a one-year, $10.75 million deal. The truth is lower than that.

A lot lower.

The deal has a base value of only $3.25 million, per a source with knowledge of the deal. Of that amount, only $2.49 million is fully guaranteed at signing.

He gets a signing bonus of $1.455 million and a fully-guaranteed base salary of $1.035 million. The rest of the base package comes from a workout bonus ($250,000) and per-game roster bonuses ($30,000 per game, or up to $510,000).

The deal includes $7.5 million in incentives, at least $2 million of which hinge on the Chiefs at least getting to the AFC Championship. We’ll post the full details of the incentive package when we have them.

For now, here’s the truth. The reports of $10.75 million on a one-year deal are the opposite of truth, with the fluff representing more than twice the true base amount of the deal.

The Chiefs got a steal on the JuJu deal, but it's only for one year.  They may not be able to afford him if he's successful here or want him if he's not.  So they need to draft their X this year and let him be ready to start in 2023.
