Chiefs Did Frank Clark get Tyreek Hill's money? If so... what's the plan? - Page 2

- It sounds like we are still moving forward with Chris Jones' extension, which will be around $20M / year.

- We just paid Frank Clark a shitton of money.

- We are going to make Pat Mahomes the highest paid player in NFL history, possibly as soon as next offseason.

- With Hill's status unknown, we clearly are not going to pay him until this situation irons out, and even then, perhaps the deal signed with Frank Clark today was indicative of our plan to not extend Hill.

- Assuming Hill is not in trouble, we have him under contract and he plays this season.

- We could franchise him next season. If we do that, and he's still not in trouble, he would be smart to hold out. And if that all occurs, then he would be a prime candidate for a tag & trade. What would he net in return?

What is the game plan for replacing Hill's production moving forward?

- Draft Hardman/Isabella/Other?
- Trade in 2020?
- FA in 2020?
- Extend Watkins beyond 2020?
- Does D-Rob or Pringle blow up?
- Do we change our offense and focus on a different attack plan?

Yes.

Counting Jones and Clark's money we're at about 35-40 million in 2020. Could be closer to 50 million if they draft Fisher's replacement next year.

I think they'll probably tag Tyreek after all of this family drama.

Well he still has the 5th year option in his back pocket for Mahomes where the cap hit would probably come in only around $25M.

If we actually did use money earmarked for Hill to instead pay for Clark then

1. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, VEACH AND REID!?!?!

2. We've got to get some WRs in now. Both Hill and Watkins are out the door in this scenario.

Yes of course. At the cost of making the rest of our roster dog shit they can do practically anything lol.

Maybe. Hill really ****ed himself with the off field drama. Guilty or not.

Hill might be the most explosive player in the NFL but if the defense can be better than dogshit, Mahomes could win a Superbowl without him.
