It is an issue unless you start getting really creative with the cap (like the scenario you mentioned, which still isn't all that realistic).

You're more than likely having to cut salary to fit him in PLUS trading high draft picks.

It's just too much.

The only realistic scenario is moving Frank Clark money. The Chiefs aren't cutting Hitchens this year. An HB extension won't likely get them there either. If they want Julio, it's a combo of moving some of his salary to bonus and Clark's. How much may depend on a few other potential factors like an HB extension shaving a few off the top but that's about it.

I'd take Julio for a couple of "likely" good years yet if the price is no more than a 3rd. A 3rd is less than flipping a coin on getting a player that does anything much. If we're talking a 1st or 2nd, save the picks and draft a WR early next year.

That said, the Falcons reportedly want a 1st. If that's the case, they can go blow smoke up their own asses.

Exactly.

It's just not in the cards. We don't have the scratch to make it happen.

Where to sign up!? I'd happily give a 3rd + Player for Julio.

Who do you want? Mecole, D Rob, LDT?

Giving up Mecole on a rookie contract would be dumb.

They don't want our 2nd and 3rd-string trash.

LDT would actually make some sense for them to fit in for a year at LG while they develop Jalen Mayfield.

Pretty sure LDT has a no trade clause.

You're more than likely correct on that one. I don't recall for sure but it seems like I remember something like that now that you mention it. May have came into play with the void year.
