JuJu came in to reestablish his career and get paid, he's still young. Thomas and Beckham might be at that stage in their careers where they'd take a 1-yr prove it deal in order to earn a decent 1+1 yr follow up contract to play the remainder of their careers out here in KC for a winning franchise.
I have some faith that in the right program, if healthy, either could produce as well as JuJu did this last season in KC. [Reply]
But he's also someone on the fringe of a real HoF case and he's just the sort of guy (has made a lot of money in his career but needs to burnish his resume a bit) who could be had on a real low cost deal to ring-chase.
And we've established with JJSS that we can/will use someone with his skill-set.
But he's gonna have to prioritize winning over getting paid in a big BIG way. If he can get some level of health back, he may have a late-stage Larry Fitzgerald sort of career. [Reply]

Would you risk trying to do one of those 3 year last year is a void year type deals with him so if he does hit you'd have some bought in value? [Reply]

You are.
I just don't know how attainable he is. I was hoping the injury issues would push him down into reasonable trade up range because when he's healthy, he's absolutely electric. [Reply]

Structure is everything so I'd consider anything.
But if I'm Thomas I wouldn't want one. Take less for 1 year, ring chase, establish that you're healthy and then hit the market. Maybe you've grabbed the 'ship that puts you over the top on a HOF case in the interim.
And honestly, you'd probably get the best version of Thomas that he has left to offer at that point. I don't think i want a 2-year deal that gives him reason to jake another season. [Reply]

Barely played last year. Unsure if he’ll perform at the combine. Marvin Harrison Jr looks like the best wr prospect since Calvin
He’s my favorite for the record. He’s just so smooth. Probably not an elite testing guy. But he’s a safe bet to be an awesome WR in this league
The longer this goes on (assuming Juju is out) the more I want to draft a receiver early. I’m sure some of these 30 yr old receivers have some juice left. But it just seems like a bad ROI paying them 20+ to come in, learn Andys offense, and stay healthy for a long playoff run [Reply]

Yeah, the 1 year contract year is undefeated in these situations, but man, if they hit I hate having to go back to the drawing board. [Reply]

You've talked about wanting a Z WR.......well..... I mean, that would seem to be one right there, right? [Reply]
Mahomes just doesn't throw many 50/50 balls. He's too good for that.
Contested catch players are wasted on him. Gimme YAC monsters and agile burners.
Yeah this bugs me. Ive seen several people clamor for goal line/EZ fade routes (the least successful play in that situation). It's just so dumb when Mahomes can put the ball wherever he wants it, then why should we give the defense the opportunity to make a play on a 50/50 ball or contested pass. [Reply]

I like him he's a great route runner kinda have questions about his durability and he's not exactly the fastest. Not sure if he's a fit in this offense or not [Reply]
