Lol, they better hope BoB is really good at scheming receivers open.

Dang. Would’ve like to retain JuJu, but nonetheless, [emoji3577][emoji3577]

I would think the Hopkins trade is coming pretty soon now

Figured he was gone after his recent shenanigans anyways. Not surprising here.

He just took back to back 1 year deals, this has to be about them offering the most money. With his knee he has to get his bag now.

Hope he got a big payday cause I don't know how big a market he'll have after playing with Mac Jones. (Or insert whatever replacement they come up with.)

Good for him. Glad he was able to parlay his one season here into, hopefully, more $$$.

That only helps the Chiefs. We get to move on and find a better talent, he gets to get paid, Chiefs get to say, "see, it works". Win for all.

What shenanigans?

I wonder if there's any chance we re-sign Hardman.

Oh well. KC will be just fine.

we're 100% getting hopkins

Hardman
OBJ
Hopkins

Thank God. Much rather sign him when his value is relatively low than JJSS at his peak.

With his knee and lack of burst, NE is probably his last stop.

I'm thinking you're spot on.

A little shocked the Chiefs weren't willing to go to 11 million a year. They must have something else in the works.

I hope so. For cheap of course.

Hopkins
MVS
Toney
Hardman
Moore
Mingo

heh. A guy can dream.

Antagonizing TikToks and Tweets

Thanks for the memories. And now that you’re a Cheatriot, **** off.

How's JuJu going to handle the whole Patriot Way no personality stuff?

Grateful for his contributions!

Yep.

My only reaction to this is "well, this just means the Chiefs are going to be even more aggressive at the WR position, now".

Thanks for the SB. good luck catching Mac Jones passes and being in last place.

He can teach them all about the Chief Way and bring a championship mentality to their struggling organization

I don't see Hardman coming back, you should be able to get a guy that can do what he does much cheaper.

I think there’s a legit chance the Chiefs draft a WR at 31 or a bit higher with a trade up. Not a great chance, but a possibility.

:clap:

Exactly, I appreciate Juju's contribution this past season. Him not being here will not be a big void to fill and I'm fairly certain he never has another 900 yard season.

I’d re sign Hardman

hmm.. sky Moore part deux?

Hardman has a couple of things he does well, but he's pretty damn near the top of the NFL in those things. His vision as a ball carrier is incredibly underrated.

Flowers or Hyatt.

Sure but it's still gadgety as an actual receiver he leaves a lot to be desired. Is it worth paying a guy 7-8 million a year for his 4 touches a game.

I kinda expected he was gone. The knee, big mouth, limited upside.

I’m almost certain Mecole will be back on a 1 year deal for 12m. Mostly in not likely to be earned incentives that won’t count against the cap this year, but that he will earn and hit free agency next year with a huge bump to the cap and a robust market.

I’m totally fine with Juju moving on.

I just don't think the receivers this year are good enough to do so. This feels like a DL draft to me with so many freakshows.

I'd draft a DE or DT and trade for Hopkins. It just seems to make the most sense.

Yes? Especially with his game breaking ability. He had 6 TDs in only 8 games.

12 mil for Hardman? No way.

Maybe 4.

Idk, man. Idk that they'll be there and i don't think we should be trading up for either.

Hopkins.

Or they'll make a move for a WR already under contract somewhere.

Figured he'd get more.

Thanks for everything.

Kick all those Brother****ing Cheatriot ****bags in the nutsack, will ya?

Good for him. If anybody needs a pay day, it is him.

I hope we can get Hopkins.

I wonder if Veach was worried about that knee holding up over the next few years

Hopkins yall


Also secure that bag, Juju. Happy for you, Super Bowl winner.

Hardman had a great ability to tiptoe down the sideline through traffic at nearly top speed. How many times did he turn what should've been a 8-12 yard play into a big gain or even a TD, while flying down the sideline at Mach 2?

Would be helpful for the 25 drives a season he’s healthy

I think one will.

I don't see 5 WRs going in the 1st.

I'd rather give JJSS deal to Hardman than to actually give it to JJSS

Hyatt is going to re-run his 40 at his pro day right?

Hoping for a much better time

He's one of those rare athletes who actually plays as fast as he times.

It's probably going to be DHop, btw. Just hope it's not a 2 or higher.

So now that he's gone we can all agree he wasn't shit, right?

'Cause he ain't shit.

I’m glad we had him. But also glad to move on. We can and will do better.

Not happening until they figure out where to find some cap space. Could be a Jones extension.

Drunk again?

Waiting for Cole’s take before I make mine. Let’s ride

I think the biggest issue was the knee. I wouldn't have had a problem giving him that deal without it, but it's a litte over my line all things considered.

Still lower than that 12-15 people were talking about though.

One drive where Reid had Gannon twisted up in a pretzel trying to cover ANYTHING was enough to make folks blind. 4 of his 10 catches the entire postseason came on that one drive, BTW.

Nah - been riding ATVs this morning.

But soon...

This is where I think I'm at. I'd like to see them acquire Hopkins but hopefully it's not too expensive.

How many times did he turn a guaranteed huge play into nothing because he wasn't aware of the football coming to him? Or because he ran the wrong route?

Lot more of those lowlights than highlights.

Hit the bricks Hardman. Guy had 4 years in the system and still didn't know his asshole from his elbow.

Can we sign Michael Irvin?

I hope he has a shitty 40 and he falls to us. All the speed you need to see from the guy is on tape, a 40 time at the combine doesn't change that.

Who? JuJu? He wasn't shit. He wasn't amazing either. He was good enough. he was the best zone beater in the WR room. 2nd best on the team behind Travis.

Not talked about much, but he was also a stabilizing influence on the team and a pro on the field and as a teammate, as far as I can tell, and all of that isn't nothing. And Pat trusted him, which tells you a lot about JuJu's importance on the team.

PB happy the chiefs got rid of two ju’s

I'd rather it not be high, but when he's putting up 1400 yards and 14 TD's.....I wont' care.

I sure as hell hope they don’t give him 12 million , he’s not worth nowhere close to that kind of money.

:rolleyes:
Okay, man.

If they can get him a for a 4th and a 6th....then I'm good with it.

Yeah, I can agree with that.

Zero chance the Cardinals get a 2 for Hopkins after the Ramsey trade.

Man, I legit hated this signing even before the Tyreek trade last year, but once I saw the offense be efficient, I saw that he was one of the only other receivers we could consistently rely on to be where Pat wanted him to be.

MVS did his usual "Uhp... 50% of the time I'm juuuuuuust out of reach. Sorry." bullshit he did in Green Bay. If we were going to go efficient, we needed a guy to be there accurately each and every time, and we needed somebody with good hands. Juju was that.

If I could take last season's Juju or any singular season of Sammy Watkins' time with KC, I'd take Juju in a second.

He served a purpose. I'm not going to shit on him for that.

Flowers at 31 would be close to ideal.

Eh.

It can be a bit deceiving though. Most of his "tape" he's getting free releases and running head starts at guys. So yeah, his 40 time in particular matters.

And it would be an absolute shock if he ran slower at his pro day than the combine. I mean, that practically never happens. So if it did, that'd be a disaster for his stock.

I know people don’t love it but I still wouldn’t be opposed to bringing in a bandaid if it means aggressively looking for a replacement. That’s why DHop (if not for the draft pick) is ideal and people need to get over the price tag. And why you can’t rule out guys like DJ chark, Corey Davis, Allen Robinson, etc… or even an adam thielen. These aren’t guys who you build around. Even the injury risk isn’t crippling since we can take chances on that other teams can’t. they’re just there to fill up space until you can find someone better.

But if we go that route we have got to do a better job finding young talent. We’ve done great at finding role players but we’ve got to land a true WR1 via the draft

The great thing about this is that the Patriots were considering trading for Jerry Jeudy. If they have Juju this much it might have made that decision to not do it and **** Denver over LMAO
