This would be a lot easier to accept if they were SB champs.
Too bad this little traitor wouldn't accept a team-friendly deal. So many greedy bastards out there. |

Like most, I was hoping to get a little more next year, but before the trade is given an "F", let's see what happens with the $20mm cap space that opened up (prob won't know until next year), and what Veach does with the extra picks (comps from Poles). He's never been in this position, never had an economy of picks...if he's great, he can practically rule the next two drafts. 1 down year while everyone spends like a Hilton sister so you dominate the next 7? Deal me in.

This hurts as a big Tyreek fan but obviously they wanted to offer a ton to get him.
Just remember Jared Allen's trade and how it hurt like hell and then we drafted GREAT and got Brandon Albert and Jamaal Charles. Let's hope we get something good here. I wonder if Brett felt since all the teams are playing a deep cover 2 now, that Tyreek's value was less? He was one hell of a weapon. |

Everyone freaking out is forgetting that we drafted Hardman as Hill's replacement when all the bullshit was happening with baby momma. I'm disappointed in the return, but we couldn't match the payday Hill just got.

You just aren't going to find another talent like Hill. That's why it sucks. It's not going to happen. But it's the name of the game... we've been going all out to win the last couple years and other teams will have more cap space and be able to go wild. And when you're successful some guys are going think they've got their ring and go get as much money as humanly possible.
The only way to kind of stop this is do what Polian did with the Colts, pay Manning, James, Harrison, etc. and then literally don't do anything major in FA and build everything through the draft. |

Congratulations for a move the Patriots under Belichick would have made 10 out of 10 times. Great medium to long term deal for the Chiefs if KC just does a decent job with the additional cap space and plethora of picks. It values Hill more than Adams and when you factor in Hill's punt returning ability, he should be valued a little more. Hill will probably age better than Adams since he takes less big hits and he is already one year younger but one injury to Hill could obviously change everything.
Dolphins made much more sense for Hill than the Jets. He will be the big star even over their QB which most people think of as someone more like an average QB. Lower taxes than NY. Warm weather perhaps more important as he ages. Arguably better night life than even NY. Great place to live if you are rich. Long term this trade helps the Bills/Patriots/Jets since Dolphins lost so much cheap draft capital but it does make the Dolphins better in the short term. |

Yeah trading Hill is not good. But you also need to factor in that Hill was not signing here for what we could pay him. We could not make the cap numbers work for a 25 million a year contract. The only way this works out is we use the 21 million we cleared for signing Hill productively and bring in one or two guys that improves our team and then hit with the picks.

Sucks. Don't think we got enough back. Was my favorite guy. But he is secure for life.
But I guess we see how Patrick does without him. Guys will need to step up or Kelce will be triple teamed. |
