Guys...let's learn from the Earl Thomas situation. Folks said we weren't interested and it turns out we were and had a deal in place. No-one knew we were on the brink of getting him again last offseason as well. Also who said anything about Tyrann and Hitchens? No-one!!. The Chiefs FO have NOT be leaking much stuff since Veach took control. Hell, even this Fitzpatrick stuff Terez only said something AFTER he joined the Steelers, not before.

The way I look at that would be, other than the 5th year potential option (which is big) are any of those guys really that much better than what you could get in the first round?
[Reply]

You know what you right. Chiefs FO hardly leaks anything. I like that. They play it close to their vest. Hell they picked up Shady when people said we weren’t interested and boom we got him
[Reply]

I'd rather keep some picks to get better protection for Pat.

Think this isn't happening only because it hasn't happened yet. Add the press conference he had....don't think it's happening. If the chiefs were deep in talks and something was imminent with trading him I doubt he goes and talks to the media then. I think they are asking too much with the high draft picks and the new team potentially having to sign him long term.

Veach learn from the Earl Thomas mistake. Yes it will cost a lot to get Ramsey but it’s worth it. Veach better not be thinking oh we upgraded to Breeland this year and that’s enough to beat the Pats. Maybe there thinking is we were one offsides away from going to the super bowl and we have upgraded the defense. They don’t need to add anyone
[Reply]

Have BEEN saying this. Why in the fuck would the team leak that they're in active negotiations? To Terez, Jeff, or anyone.

They wouldn't.

Are they in on him? Who the hell knows. But I, for one, continue to go back to that Earl Thomas deal. Everyone said the Chiefs were out. Not interested. Then boom. Had a deal in place.

Here you are playing checkers when GM's play chess...

Showing interest in Ramsey makes all the sense in the world if you are trying to move Dolphins or Cardinals on their CB's that we want. Putting out you have no interest in Ramsey put pressure on Jaguars to look at the package you offered.

Again I think Veach has interest in all three CB's

Peterson
Howard
Ramsey

And he is playing the media game (dangerous) to get one of them to budge on his offer.
[Reply]

It’s already been reported Cardinals adamantly said no to us in regards to PP and Howard doesn’t want to be traded. Leaves us with Ramsey
[Reply]

Did some team overpay for this POS yet?
[Reply]

Why is everyone referring to the Earl Thomas thing as a mistake? I mean, we've got Thornhill back there at a great price for a few years, which allows us to even have this conversation.
[Reply]

Not referring to it as a mistake. I'm referring to it as proof that the team doesn't always loose-lip info to the media when they're working on a deal.

Jalen Ramsey was targeted 120 times covering AB/TY/Tyreek/OBJ/D-Hop, he’s allowed a 69 passer rating.

Rest of the NFL allowed a 104 rating when covering that group.

JR is the only corner with 300+ targets that allowed -EPA/target (offense is worse off after the play).

Lets be real if we don't move on this we're gonna end up with like Janoris Jenkins.
[Reply]

Adamantly saying NO doesn't mean that he wasn't for trade, it could very well be we tried to low ball them on trade package because of suspension.

Howard doesn't get a choice in if he is being traded, and considering its a firesale over there right now i'd say he is available for the right price.

Ramseys is about as good as done in Jacksonville. Now it will be about potential packages. Tommy boy does not like it when players buck management.

So cool your jets, like I said this is CHESS not CHECKERS.......
