Twitter: Hitchens to KC Chiefs

[Doomsay]

Yeah but we get a high 2019 comp pick!

It will will have higher utility with our new coach next year.

My ceiling would be about 7m and I would have matched both Church and Carr’s contracts last year. Wouldn’t have gone near Mo though.

Every player in dallas = average.

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

Who called Carr, Church, or Claiborne elite? Now you're just lying.

I didn’t realize it was $9M a year. Wow! I gotta say good for the FO letting him walk. Yikes.

 

[rkell87]

Cool that should give us at least a 4th next year

 

[Chuck 54]

Considering the average salary would be 4-5 million if every player on the roster was paid equally, maybe 9 million isn’t that out of line for a starting LB when you need one in Free agency. Plus, averaging 9 million per year doesn’t mean 9 million against the cap. KC unloaded a QB salary, so they can afford it.

 

[Alexander]

Good. Take the fifth or sixth round comp pick.

 

[Alexander]

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

It is beyond insane for a player of his caliber and they are going to plug him into an aggressive 3-4 system.

But, as always, the devil is in the details in terms of the money.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

My ceiling would be 7 million. Well it’ll yield us a 4th round comp. But a big hole.

 

[Vinnie2u]

yep bet were drafting about 4 LB's this year..

 

[DanA]

Good. Take the fifth or sixth round comp pick.

This year 8m got a 4th so I’d expect anything above 8.5m to get a 4th next year.

Depends on the structure of the contract and performance.

We should have anticipated this massive gaping hole.

 

[iceberg]

9 mil tho?

wow. he was good but not sure that good. either way, congrats on the payday and good luck!

 

[SportsGuru80]

Good for him, get that money young man. You were a true professional while in Dallas.

If a QB is worth 25m and LT, DE and CB worth 15m then you can’t be paying solid citizens at LB 4-5m over the average salary on the roster.

Thought he would be joining Eberflus in Indy.

Yes let every good player that develops here walk away because they aren’t worth keeping. Just keep bringing in scrubs. That’ll win a Super Bowl.

Welcome to the Bengals of the NFC.

But yet we hold onto bums like Witten and Dez for way too much money.

 

[canters]

Congrats to him. We will miss him. Is Wilson his replacement, or do we draft a guy in rounds 1-3?
