Twitter: Hitchens to KC Chiefs

[dagreat1_87]

9 mil tho?

 

[HowardC]

Good for him. He has played his butt off...

 

[Vero_F250]

Yeah but we get a high 2019 comp pick!

 

[LittleD]

I feel another draft pick coming to us next year...Yea!

 

[Cumart21]

Love Hitch but this is the type of player who has to be drafted and not overpaid for. Good player, not great.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Wow! Was not expecting a $9M AAV
Good comp pick for us

I really like the player but $9 mil per year is insane money for him.

 

[Avery]

Yeah, no way we pay that. Good luck and goodbye.

Hard to see how we don’t draft two in this draft.

 

[OldCoach]

Can't replace him in free agency, too expensive. Expect a stop gap signing and a prayer in the draft.

 

[Section446]

So this is what a team going for a title looks like.

Yikes...chiefs throwing out huge $ for 2 guys that aren’t elite in any way. Good luck with that...but hope Mahomes is the next Aaron Rodgers

 

[BigStar]

9/yr is too high. He's solid, but not a difference maker. The franchise tag for LBs is 10-11/yr.

 

[LittleD]

Great for Hitchens. He's getting his payday and we will get a nice comp pick for next year. We can't
afford those prices for sure.

 

[DanA]

Church and Carr were at least doable. This is just way too much for a good player that will never reach Pro-Bowl level IMO.

 

[Avery]

Classic CZ about to be on display in this thread. If we overpay him, we are stupid and no wonder why we don’t have cap space. If we do back up the Brinks truck, the FO never learns and we are stupid.

 

[Falco78]

So what kind of comp pick will this get us?

 

[Carson]

Every player in dallas = average.

When they leave, they are all called elite. Carr, Claiborne, Church, Hitchens etc

 

[DanA]

Probably a 4th with the cap increase.

 

[Jarv]

9M a year, holy cow! Good move doing nothing, I liked Hitch, but not at that price tag.
