Please, it's the beginning of the season and he's whining and crying to get out. When he doesn't get his way he takes a Maternity leave for an apparent "Unlimited" amount of time in the middle of season! He'll be a problem child wherever he goes, these type of personalities aren't happy unless their sowing strife and conflict. [Reply]

All this stuff about his contract is the definition of "self-invented".
Taking Ramsey's comments and creating a whole narrative about him wanting to go play for someone, so then they can trade him when his contract is up is just silly. What team is going to give up a king's ransom for a 1 year rental player? Ramsey knows no team is going to do that. And we are talking about a guy that showed up to training camp in a MFing Brinks truck.:-) [Reply]
I’ve been back and forth on this. It seems to me that the best way to get a cb talent like Ramsey is to draft it. At this point, I’m out and given that our O line is just ok, I can’t see the wisdom in giving up the draft capital plus the huge contract. I’d love to have the guy, but not at the cost of keeping or upgrading talent across the board. [Reply]
Our best opportunity to improve the CB position was to get Fitzpatrick from Miami. Screw the Squealers for overpaying for him. He looked good last week for them too. I was excited about that possibility. Ramsey though, it's just not that great of a plan to go and invest the picks and the money in getting him. [Reply]

We don't pick top 5 so good luck with that. [Reply]
I know this will be an unpopular take, but the Chiefs organization needs to start acting like a team that finally has an MVP, GOAT QB and start scouting, drafting, and coaching up homegrown talent and cheap FA acquisitions instead of using draft capital and huge contracts to acquire top shelf talent at a handful of positions. Depth of talent is critical to getting multiple SB trophies with our MVP, GOAT QB. [Reply]

Trading picks for players has become actually more common than it ever has before because teams have finally realized unless you pick in the top 10, your pick doesn't really have that much value.
There isn't 1 right way to do it, hell in the early 80s when the Redskins where good they traded picks for players all the time. [Reply]
