Hear me out. No doubt Tyreek has been great and has obvious chemistry with Mahomes. But do we really make him one of the highest paid WRs?

Here are my thoughts against this:

1) From having watched Mahomes through college, I have observed he really likes taller receivers who can go high to get the ball. Mahomes has of course had success with smaller slot receivers like Keke Coutee but a big bodied receiver can be just as deadly paired with Mahomes. Maybe draft a second receiving tight end?

2) We saw how easy it was to get Reek out of the game completely in the AFCCG. Paying reek would likely even mean there is no Watkins on the other side either.

3) Raw speed, in my humble opinion, is the fastest depreciating asset for any pro-athlete. Who is to say Tyreek from two years later will be faster than a fresh 21 year old coming out of college with a similar skill set?

4) The chemistry Tyreek and Patrick have was built in one off season. I am sure Mahomes can replicate that with mostly anyone. He got Albert Wilson paid last year.

Not saying Tyreek isn't great, he is a unicorn for sure but I am wary of the big money being discussed for his new deal.

Pay Tyreek Hill

I hope Tyreek sets every receiving record ever with KC

He will. And sadly it won’t take all that long lol. If you’re talking franchise records anyways.

You guys are doing the Lord's work.

Or you could draft another "speedster" like Dexter McLuster - who's dramatically worse in every possible way. Or DAT, who's better but is made of glass.

Who was that other speedster guy who kept getting injured, finally caught a TD, then tore his ACL the next play or something? Joe McSomething? Note I could have every detail wrong here - but you get the idea.

suzzer99 · 01-25-2019, 05:21 PM

I think you extend Hill, Tag Ford, and let Jones play out his last year then franchise him, try to sign him, or let him go - depending on cost vs. value. Not extending Jones now gives us a lot more cap room to go out and get Landon Collins or somebody.

Tyreeks speed is legendary. If and when this guy loses a step, hes still going to be the fastest guy on the field. Pay up.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 01-25-2019, 07:24 PM

Should we pay our Jerry Rice? I'm really torn on this one, guys!

DeSean Jackson is similar. He is still one of the fastest guys in the league despite advanced age.

ntexascardfan · 01-25-2019, 07:49 PM

Yes, you do.

Why do you think Watkins had such a huge game against the Pats? It's because they were focusing so much attention Tyreek that it opened up options underneath. They were literally putting so much attention on Tyreek that they were completely vacating portions of the field to take him out of the game.

You either try to single up on Tyreek and get burnt or you bracket and cloud him and get picked apart with a healthy Watkins.

You extend Tyreek and draft Watkins eventual replacement. I'd love to see us take someone like Texas' Lil'Jordan Humphrey in the third or fourth. He's a big bodied guy who is an excellent route runner, understands how to settle in softs spots in the zone, and is a monster in YAC.

I don't trust Sammy to stay healthy and our offense bogged down when he came off the field and teams were able to double Tyreek + Kelce.

JakeF · 01-25-2019, 07:59 PM

He's not even a great route runner yet and he's already the focal point of defensive gameplans.

ChiefinNE · 01-25-2019, 11:17 PM

Let’s ask it a different way, would you ever, ever, ever want to play him?
Answer: negative.
Pay the man his money.

I'm sure that shares and profit-sharing in various proven Hunt enterprises can be arranged. Trucking and Oil/Gas are fairly lucrative enterprises that pay well long after the playing years have come and gone....
