@MikeClayNFL: Chiefs, Jaguars pop as contending teams who could use Martavis Bryant. Maybe the 3-3 Jets.

That's one truth. Another might be to say that poetry... is into me.

If Bryant has stopped being a selfish prick, i'd take him over Landry. Especially with Mahomes.

Bryant/Hill/Kelce/Mahomes would be sick.

BINGO !!!! In bold is a big IF though that has me worried but always love his play for sure !! Imagine Hill,Bryant and Kelce with Black Brett Favre throwing to them.:-) Unstoppable !!

Our WR corps is downright pitiful, and it can not be blamed entirely on Smith.

But fuck him anyway.

Ahem...

We just picked up a great compliment to #22, let's do the same on the other side of the ball, please.

NEWSFLASH!!! Captain Checkdown has been traded to the Washington Redskins. I repeat, Captain Checkdown has been traded to the Washington Redskins. He's been replaced by a man with brass balls and the heart of a lion. There's been confirmed reports that Mahomes arm is considerably stronger and accurate than his predecessor.

We need to trust Mahomes to make Wilson and Robinson better. If they cant, we deal with that in year 2 of the Mahomes era. The offense isn't perfect but there is a huge need on the other side of the ball.

This off season we need to spend all of our FA money on defense. We need to use our 2nd rounder on defense. 3rd rounders too. We desperately need talent beyond our new CB.

Great point!...The deal is, IF that happens, the WR's you consider "pitiful" might be better in roles more defined with their skill sets, and at the same time could allow them to improve.

As long as BR is QB they are far from falling apart.

KC's WR's had one of the lowest drop rates in the NFL and lead the NFL in separation metrics.

Not by a little. Alex was throwing to the most wide open WR's in the NFL by a huge margin. Why do you think his stats were so good? Because he's awesome?

If they're getting open, not dropping the ball, and carrying a mediocre QB to a 4000 yard 26 TD season to go with the top QB passer rating in the league, me thinks they're not as bad as you claim. Bad QB's don't put up great numbers with bad WR corps. That makes no sense at all.

Suddenly the Wrs need to be improved after being 'Its all Alex Smith's fault'? Next people will start blaming the offensive line and coaching.

I would like to see an upgrade at WR, but I don't think it's a huge one. I'd always like to see an upgrade virtually everywhere on the team.

Having said that, no I don't think our WR corps are dire. But imagine bringing a stud in to play opposite Hill.

Like, imagine Alshon Jefferey opposite Hill with Kelce in the slot and Hunt in the backfield. That's a nightmare for defenses.

I like Conley, and I am really excited to see how he does with Mahomes, but anytime you can get more talent, the better.

I’d look at WR trades vs free agency. Not anyone I would clamor for. Maybe Paul Richardson from Seattle

lol Landry is a slot receiver who has had 100+ catches twice in his first four years.

He's possibly the best slot receiver in the game and can put up ten catches a game with his eyes closed because of the separation he gets.

He'd thrive in Reid's system. That being said he's going to command 15m per year when he gets franchised.
