4. His age 30 season, he was recovering from that injury and suspended to start the year, and he still was hugely productive when he did return despite playing with garbage at QB.
He was injured again at the end of last year after the steroid suspension. I would hardly call his play last year hugely productive. 11.2 ypc isn't good. He was the only WR that wasn't absolutely atrocious for 80% of his playing time. He wasn't even close to some great WR past year. He was just the only option that wasn't absolute trash. [Reply]
I spoke with DBILLSHIT earlier and he told me to tell everyone to relax because the deal is being finalized. Chiefs will be signing DHop to a 2 year deal with incentives up to $10m per year. The holdup is due to an altercation that occurred between him and Pacheco over the use of #10. But don’t worry DHop will be a Chief. [Reply]
Yeah it looks good on paper, on Madden. But KC doesnt have any cap space (currently), and I doubt DHop is going to wait around for the Chiefs to get a deal done with Chris Jones.
Doubt he cares about a ring being that he's (strongly) considering signing with a team that has zero chance of winning shit. The curtain is coming down on his career, probably just wants to be paid the most he can get at this point. Still productive when healthy, but that's a big IF.
He'd be signed by now by someone if that wasn't the case, and at his age no team is going to give him a long term deal, or at least they'd be stupid to do so.
Chiefs running game is gonna be better this season, which will help the offense. I really think Pacheco is gonna break out this year.
Teams still can't cover Kelce lmao.
I mean, the big elephant in the room is whether or not Toney can stay healthy. If he does he's gonna have a break out yr. My guess is not likely but others will step up. Players on this team I think wanna do well for Pat. He's this generations Michael Jordan. Popular, good attitude, wants to win and has won, multiple times, MVPs etc. A big reason why there's not any locker room drama on this team. He's an extraordinary leader that actually leads by example. That's intoxicating. [Reply]
Unless he was full of crap about wanting to go to a contender. But then why would he not have already signed with them or the Pats? Something is weird about those odds changing so drastically.
