I'd also add to this that Rodgers is currently unhappy in GB and that turbulence could also cause Julio to turn his head towards KC.
Basically, it's a lock. We're signing him. lol |

You're arguing in circles. You want to change my mind? 1. Find a REALISTIC way to reduce Jones' salary or 2. Find a REALISTIC way to absorb the full $15M and 3. Find a realistic way to reduce the number of draft picks involved. So far all I've heard is a bunch of unrealistic stuff (like redoing Matthieu in a snap when they've already been trying for months) or trading them our trash (they don't want Demarcus Robinson). |

But like you said in your previous post, the team on the receiving end of the trade has to take on his full guaranteed salary at the time of the trade. The Chiefs are currently about $8M short of that goal with vertically no prospects of getting that kind of cash. It's MAY, not March. |

Reid needs to get on the phone and start texting Arthur Blank pictures of SB trophies.

More proof that you're nothing more than a loudmouth blowhard that knows absolutely nothing about the NFL or football. If Kelce is a wide receiver, who's lining up at tight end, Butt****? Was the offense more potent in 2018, when Sammy Watkins was lining up outside or when Watkins was injured last year? It's just more dumbassery from your stupid ass. |

Maybe Albert Breer's note on Julio Jones and the Chiefs will knock some sense into people, although I doubt it. -------- I wouldn’t ever rule out the idea that Chiefs GM Brett Veach could get aggressive at the site of a rare opportunity—and maybe that he’d see the shot to land Julio Jones for less than a first-round pick as one of those. And yes, the idea of Jones, if he can still be Julio, on the other end of Patrick Mahomes bombs is tantalizing, especially when you consider the kind of matchups he might see as a result of playing opposite Tyreek Hill. But I do think the Chiefs are slowly moving into another phase of their build around Mahomes. The quarterback’s cap number bulges to $35.79 million in 2022, and he’s not the only one who’s going to clog next year’s books. Check these ’22 cap numbers out: • DE Frank Clark: $26.30 million • DT Chris Jones: $29.42 million • WR Tyreek Hill: $20.50 million • G Joe Thuney: $17.80 million Add that up, and those five count for $129.81 million against the cap. That’s more than double what the same five count against the cap in ’21 ($62.12 million), and the cap isn’t expected to take its next big jump until ’23, when the new TV deals get factored into the equation. Also, Tyrann Mathieu’s a free agent after this year, Travis Kelce’s cap numbers explode starting in ’23, and K.C. is going to have to look at extending Orlando Brown, too. Now, the Chiefs can keep pushing money forward, and work it into where many teams expect the cap to go once the new TV money is factored in. But it does feel like at this point, with Mahomes off his rookie deal, Veach & Co. are going to have to start to shift their focus to creating a cheaper layer of players to pair with their group of stars. That means starting to value draft picks more, since the draft is where cheap labor is going to come from. So in that way, adding Jones would further complicate an already thorny cap situation, while taking away from the capital the Chiefs need to solve it. |
