Exactly. Moves like this give us so much flexibility, both in terms of future draft picks and salary cap hits. [Reply]

I still think they should go get Hughes. He's so cheap and would probably only cost a late round pick. They could get Hughes and still have some room to play around with acquiring more. [Reply]

He would make the most sense for someone for sure.
The Chiefs seem to be checking in on all the pass rushers, so I'm guessing they do something. [Reply]

And also have the surplus value of not having to pay a signing bonus so his cap charges are basically free. And the pick was basically free for running a good franchise and getting people promoted.
We basically got a troubled WR with full blown elite upside for what amounts to nothing in terms of investment and we have such a good locker room we may be one of the 2-3 teams he could have gone to and had a good chance to get to his potential.
What a great time to be a Chiefs fan.
If Andy and the locker room can get him focused on excelling in his role, we just added Percy Harvin to an already elite offense. [Reply]

I'm old enough to remember when Travis Kelce was immature and not a team guy, not to mention how he arguably cost us a playoff game with a stupid ass personal foul penalty. I'm more than willing to give Toney a shot and not label him as anything just yet, especially on this team with its leadership. [Reply]

You can argue that the picks don’t have that much value but there clearly is value in a third and sixth round pick. Especially in today’s NFL where teams covet draft picks so much. We’ve seen Veach hit on good late round picks such as Trey smith, sneed and Watson. We won’t have as many opportunities to find those types of players because we will have less picks.
