How bout the first quality we look for in a WR be "The WR is good and can beat the CB they line up against"?

Your scheme doesn't provide enough advantages to look for WRs who can learn your scheme as the primary trait.

[Charles Goldman @goldmctNFL]

Chiefs HC Andy Reid on how quickly Downs will get up to speed: "They've got to be smart and have the capacity to learn quickly. When Brett (Veach) was going through and looking at different people, he kept that in mind... That's what we felt about Josh (Downs). It's just a matter of him spending the time to knock it out."

[Matt Verderame @MattVerderame]

I was told part of Downs' appeal to KC is his ability to return punts. Don't be surprised if he sees some action in that regard.

With the Colts, Downs returned 32 punts in his career, including two this season

[Conner Christopherson @Conner_DKC]

This isn't a paycut btw. Don't know why I'm seeing people suggest that. Just moving money around.

[Conner Christopherson @Conner_DKC]

We all know how it was gonna go with Bolton.

While we save a bunch of money by cutting him in the offseason, the more likely avenue they would do is an extension.

Restructure basically locks that in. He's getting a new contract in the offseason.

[Field Yates @FieldYates]

Teams restructuring contracts yesterday to facilitate trades and/or create space for the rest of the season:

Bills: $5.3M via LT Dion Dawkins
Broncos: $3.9M via S Talanoa Hufanga
Chiefs: $3.4M via LB Nick Bolton
Rams: $3M via RB Kyren Williams and S Kam Curl

[Conner Christopherson @Conner_DKC]

I would celebrate but I know how they operate. Nikko is gonna go to the practice squad and be elevated on gamedays, lmao.

If he isn't then thank god.

[Kansas City Chiefs @Chiefs]

We have traded for WR Josh Downs.

We have waived WR Nikko Remigio and DE Jack Pyburn.

[Conner Christopherson @Conner_DKC]

@Maratea20G notably the first year without Sammy Watkins. good try though.

[Matt Verderame @MattVerderame]

If Josh Downs understands the boundaries of the football field, he's a massive improvement

[Conner Christopherson @Conner_DKC]

@knowerofball44 I certainly "liked" that group of pass catchers, when healthy. My only complaint of that era was the depth and occasional DRob boneheaded play.

Country is overstating the complaints to compare them to now which is, frankly, fucking stupid.

[Conner Christopherson @Conner_DKC]

If you think the complaints about Hill/Sammy/DRob with a prime Kelce are the same complaints leveled at the current pass catching group then you are blind or are having issues understanding what the actual complaints are.

They aren't comparable or equivalent.

[random football lover @knowerofball44]

@Conner_DKC Hes not wrong. There was hate for Sammy and drob. Yall are just revising history now.

[Conner Christopherson @Conner_DKC]

@kelvinklein_20 nothing he said is correct. it's the dumbest false equivalency I've seen.

[Conner Christopherson @Conner_DKC]

This is not a serious person. Sorry.

[Ian Hartitz @Ihartitz]

Average separation score this season among 104 qualified wide receivers (Fantasy Points):

5. Josh Downs
...
76. Xavier Worthy
103. Rashee Rice

[Matt Harmon @MattHarmon_BYB]

Very confident this guy will help the Kansas City Chiefs

[Conner Christopherson @Conner_DKC]

@iknowball717 Not unless he signs a massive deal. Probably would be more like a 6th round value, which can be canceled by other signings.

[Conner Christopherson @Conner_DKC]

We got extra comp picks so don’t care too much about a 4 and 5. Don’t mind it overall.
Keeping the 2 3rds is nice.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Trade terms: 4 and 5 for Downs and a 7, per source.

[Conner Christopherson @Conner_DKC]

Lmao he wanted out so bad. Almost had Breece Hall, redux.

Probably why the Chiefs added the 5th so they didn’t barely get a trade across the finish line for a second year.

[Matt Lane @Matty_KCSN]

New Chief Josh Downs.. excellent short route runner w/ elite CoD & ability to decel->accelerate through breaks. Protected releases off LoS, in the slot, or motion allow two way go & to maximize the skills.

Chiefs have WRs w/ similar (but worse) skills so usage is interesting

[Matt Harmon @MattHarmon_BYB]

Huge boost for KC.

Huge boost for Downs.

Outside of a few uncharacteristic drops, he’s been perfectly good on tape and has stacked some nice explosive wins on intermediate routes.

Best route runner and man coverage beater they’ve had in years.

[Conner Christopherson @Conner_DKC]

@iknowball717 Eh at that cost, not really. If he looks good you want to though obviously.

[Conner Christopherson @Conner_DKC]

He isn’t a savior but also won’t be surprised if it looks better catching passes from Patrick Mahomes rather than Daniel Jones.

See how he looks and we go.
