2022 General Free Agency Thread

Who exactly are the Chiefs throwing the ball to in 2022 ??
Smith-Schuster, Hardman, Josh Gordon and one Corey Coleman.
A head case, speedster, drugs and a bust...

Good plan Chiefs !!

Hey it works for me!

update from Schefty:

Sources: Jets and Dolphins both now have trades in place for the soon-to-be former Chiefs’ WR Tyreek Hill. The question now becomes where Hill wants to become the highest-paid WR in NFL history. Once he decides, the trade is expected to happen; for now, Hill is said to be “torn.”

[ArmyBengal 1,035]

Miami or New York ??  As soon to be the highest paid WR in the game ??

Any money person should tell you to go to Miami and i'm not even a money person (outside of liking it)...
One of the highest state taxes in the country compared to NO state taxes.

Cold and shitty winter weather or as close to the tropics as possible ??

Is this really a question ??

[Stripes 941]

Dunno what the compensation will be for the Chiefs, but this will definitely weaken them in the present. As Army alluded to:

Hill - Kelce - Pringle - Hardman is so much more imposing than Kelce - Schuster - Hardman - Gordon

[membengal 945]

Pringle was a FA - he signed in Chicago.

[Stripes 941]

Yeah, that's what I mean. Their receiver dropoff from 2021 to 2022 is kind of staggering, at least pre-draft.

[Stripes 941]

Miami is about to have two extremely fast receivers averaging 9 yards per reception.

Salary Cap is not a myth.   The Chiefs had some big cap hits to deal with this year and next.     Next year LT and LG without any cuts/restructure will cost more than a franchise QB.

How long their window stays open will depend on how well they back fill via the draft.   You didn't know what would happen but you could tell they were going to have to manage some cap issues.

I think I read they have 8 top 135 draft picks this year so they could restock.

[ArmyBengal 1,035]

Yeah, Waddle and Hill will be sick for that Miami offense.

I believe Hill already owns a house in Florida so he’s probably already claiming residency there

Yah, weather is better, but potential for ancillary $$$$ is probably bigger in NY

I initially read that as Gary Coleman

what you talkin bout Willis?

[ArmyBengal 1,035]

Thank God they still have Kelce.
I hear people saying they are going to be fine and I'm like... really ??
Guess we will see.  Tyreek HAS to be accounted for on the field.  Think Schuster does that ??

[HoosierCat 883]

Chiefs got a haul:

The Kansas City Chiefs are trading six-time Pro-Bowl wide receiver Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for five draft picks: a 2022 first-round pick (No. 29), second-round pick (No. 50) and fourth-round pick, plus fourth- and sixth-round picks in the 2023 draft, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.

[membengal 945]

Sorta? One first round pick at the back of the first is not overwhelming for him, really.

[membengal 945]

Also, this is kinda on point and hilarious:

Skippy boy:

A report says the Steelers are waiting to pounce on Baker Mayfield if he gets cut. Now on @undisputed

[membengal 945]

Mayfield AND Trubisky. Delicious. I assume this is a plan from Mayfield's agent/Browns to try and get Seattle make a deal.

We gave the Chiefs and the entire conference PTSD with our Super Bowl run. They've all lost their minds.

It kinda seems like it.

[HoosierCat 883]

I’m not sure if it was us or the Rams. Case in point: after today’s Hill deal, one-quarter of the NFL doesn’t have a first round pick next month. Of those eight, three don’t have a second rounder either. There’s always been an argument that proven vets are more valuable than unproven draft picks so you should trade the latter for the former when feasible. The counter has always been that that strategy is too expensive, but as long as a team has cash on hand, a willingness to do simple restructures, and the cap keeps going up at a $10 million-plus a year clip, apparently some clubs have decided it’s manageable. 

[ArmyBengal 1,035]

Mayfield not even fetching a first round pick ??

Yes that’s fucking hilarious !!

Cleveland/Pitt games would be so entertaining IF Baker ended up there.

Is it wrong that I have no idea who the hell Steven Nelson is ??

I looked him up and apparently he's a CB, but can honestly say I've never heard of this dude.

I was thinking the same thing.

[Stripes 941]

Nelson is the same Steelers DB that called Burrow "trash" in Joe's rookie year after the Bengals lost in Pittsburgh. I'm not saying I care about that when it comes to bringing in DB depth, but maybe that jogs memories.
