Twitter: Hitchens to KC Chiefs

[zrinkill]

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

What a stupid post

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

I think we double dip. A LB equivalent to Alfred Morris and a mid round pick.

Good. Take the fifth or sixth round comp pick.

I was a big fan of keeping hitch. Think losing him has a big impact on our draft. But not at 9 mil if it’s really going to pay out 9 mil a year
But it does show that people’s concepts of what players will get needs some adjustments
A few guys here mentioned he’d get that much and they were right
Now LB gets to be a much bigger need in the draft for sure
It will probably be a 5th I would guess but who knows with what contracts are looking like
Aaron Rodgers is probably going to get 30 mil a year. Contracts are really going up and teams that have 100 mil to spend are really drive them up
I like hitch and think he has value but 9 mil for a LB just feels like star money and he is a good but not star player

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

You just complimented the Chiefs by saying "now thats what I team going for it all looks like".

You think paying Hitchens $9/y is a super bowl move? Lol.

Also Church was elite at certain things

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Depends on the structure of the contract and performance.

Structure doesn't seem to matter in comp picks, all about performance and AAV$

@Risen Star I think you have to admit defeat on this one. 9 mill a year on his second contract

I'll admit defeat too.
Didnt think he would touch Hightower #'s, especially after a bidding war with the Jets.
Not only did he match, but he exceeded by a large amount of what Hightower got. Wow.

Good on the Cowboys for not paying a Non-Difference maker Difference maker money.

We need to draft quality depth.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

So we have Lee, Smith, and Wilson. Nothing really behind them. Try to sign a stop gap and draft 2 LB’s preferable in the top 4 rounds.

Thanks...i needed a good chuckle today.

Is lee going to stay healthy long enough??/ Whats the over/under on games played before he tweeks something?? Smith...who knows what we have.

lololol Chiefs on crack

We need quality starters

Why? Hitchens is a very good player. The contract is driven by the market price! They actually got a good bargain, if I am not mistaken the tag price for a LB is around $11/12 million... Sounds like you're bitter at that man getting paid. SMH

 

[blueblood70]

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

like the guy hes replacing Derek Johnson..

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

I could see us reaching for Vander Esch if our big 4 are gone: Ridley , James , smith , Edmunds.

Depth starters whatever you get the point.
