Chief Fan would rather have a "name" player than young talent. It would've been akin to paying Charvarius Ward instead of bringing in the young, talented rookies. The Chiefs went young which, somehow, still appears to be a market inefficiency.

I don’t see why we can’t match what this wr room looks like with juju. But that is not the bar thar should be set. And I think youd need real rose colored glasses to not see question marks at WR1. Every elite qb has an absolute stud at WR1, some have two. I get what we are trying to do and I’m excited about the potential of the room. But let’s not sugarcoat this as if we’re making some grand investment. Or that we’ve wildly outfoxed the league by finding top shelf WR1 talent that teams were too stupid to pass up in the first. No, I’m not violently opposed to taking that gamble this season. I really just do not understand the contentment if worst case scenario we play without a true WR1 just because Reid and mahomes can make it work. Mahomes deserves a WR1, period. |

We can be supportive of the direction we’re taking with the WR room while also not being content and shrug it off if no true WR1 emerges. I certainly don’t want to pay for a justin Jefferson just for the name. I certainly don’t see the harm in a stable WR1 bandaid until we get the rest of the room sorted out, especially with anything but a guarantee that we have any stable wr1 option. |

Sorry man but this sounds like Royals fans who always want to play the kids so they can "find out about them". That's fine to gamble with for a shitty franchise like the Royals. But this is prime Mahomes era Chiefs were talking about.

That gives us the flexibility to play around with the WR position. I do agree that we could do more there but it’s a little disingenuous to act like we haven’t given Pat any pass catchers and exclude Kelce from that conversation. |

Yep. You can't waste Kelces last two years with Mahomes by HOPING one of your shitty wide receivers might be good someday. You better ****ing KNOW. THIS IS OUR WINDOW. IT IS NOW. IT WILL NEVER BE WIDER WITH KELCE + REID + PRIME MAHOMES. Football isn't that easy. Stop taking this shit for granted people.

17 million a year to a small DT that gets pushed around and isn't good with his hands.
After putting 36 million on the credit card..... At least LA won a SB. Buffalo is doing this for nothing but the chance to look like they are viable. |

'Contentment'? Hell, I'm excited. I'm excited about the young talent and what it means not just for 2023, but '24,'25, and '26. Kelce is the true #1, if you must label someone as such. This is the time to go with the young talent, while we still have him. If last year is too low a bar for you, when we had the number one offense in football and won the Super Bowl, then you're entirely unreasonable. Juju is a nice, professional receiver but is not particularly special in any way at this point. There's nothing there that isn't replaceable or able to be improved upon. We're not taking a step back. I fully expect to be BETTER, and sooner than later. We have 4 WRs in year two of the offense. We don't need an over 30 WR eating up a chunk of cap space to do it. I've said it several times, but if ONE of the high investment WRs hits, we're fine. If TWO hit, we're winning the Super Bowl. If all THREE are plus players, we probably win 3 straight. If any of the lottery tickets hit, shit, we might go undefeated. I'll bet on Veach to hit on at least 30%, wouldn't you? And the parallel investment in the offensive and defensive lines made possible by going young at WR and CB will be a big reason why. Paying market price for an elite receiver is counter to the team building KC has been doing for the last 15 months. You don't sell out to try to win a SB at this point in Mahomes 'career. You build a team that can win 5 or 6 of the next 8. It's just math. It's what you have to do when you're paying an elite QB. Buffalo is about to find that out. Cincinnati a year from now. |

The "Kelce is being wasted" is some serious. I need to run to the pawn shop to keep this high going, copium. Travis is GOATing!
