A Ramsey trade sounds fun and awesome, but I just don’t see how it’s feasible.

KC is going to make Hill, Mahomes, and Jones some of the highest paid players in the whole league in the next 1-2 years. You’d have to do the same for Ramsey. I just don’t think it’s doable.

Maybe they push their chips in for 2019/2020 and don’t extend him, but I doubt it given what they’d have to trade for him.

Why though? You could have the best CB in the game for 3 years without having to give him a long term deal.

You've got the franchise tag, use it.

Jalen doesn’t seem like the type of guy you want to be tagging more than once, if that. He’s a diva.

Granted they wouldn’t have to tag him until 2021.
[Reply]

Wouldn't that be the actual type of player you would want to tag?

Look at Bell. Ramsey might do that same exact thing.

But beyond all that, just how much would it take to trade for Ramsey? Because if it’s anywhere close to what it took to get Mack, no thanks

It’s one thing to trade for Ramsey if you get some draft help back for Ford, but still. How much are you willing to give up for Ramsey?
[Reply]

Here’s a hypothetical that I may be able to get behind:

Ramsey to KC for a 2019 1st, 2019 3rd, and 2020 4th

Ford to Team X for 2019 2nd and 2019 4th

Seems plausible.

If you could somehow pull the Packers 1st round pick (from the Saints) for Ford.....I'd do that shit in a heartbeat.

I don’t know if it’s going to be Howard, Ramsey or Peterson (or somebody else) but Veach is going to go get a top tier corner and a mid to top tier safety to add to this team.
[Reply]

fuck no!

Do people not understand we need those draft picks to manage the cap? Which is especially important when you are going to have the highest paid player under contact for the next decade?
[Reply]

You still have three 2nds in that scenario.

I get what you’re saying but if Reid is really seeing this 2019 season as ‘Super Bowl or bust’ (according to Nate Taylor’s article), then a trade for the best corner in the league has to be on the table.

Mahomes will be the highest paid until it’s someone else’s turn at QB. That’s just how it goes.
[Reply]

Trading high draft picks and then having to shell out a big contract is the stupidest thing a team could do.
[Reply]

I see Veach restructuring Houston to make 11-12m in cap space this year and using that $ to sign a top tier corner or safety.

Then, next year asking Houston to sign a new deal similar to Suggs deal to finish his career in KC.
[Reply]

Ramsey has his 4th year and 5th year option still on his contract. That’s two years before you even have to consider a tag.
[Reply]

If Mahomes signs a 5 year $200M contract, guess what Watson and Mayfield’s agents are gonna say? Give me $205M. Or whatever.

And they’ll get it because if they hit the open market someone will pay even more.
