I'm not sure it would have made receiver that much more important to them because, again, they only had one year of control for him anyway, and they should be considering the fact that they're not going to have him for all 17 games because they haven't really to this point.

So I think you'd have to make that calculation.

So I don't know.

I mean, I think receiver was important.

There's no doubt about it.

And I just get the sense that, like you said, I mean, as far as overpaying, I don't want to dismiss it to say that the Chiefs didn't like any of these receivers.

I think that they just thought that they were double digits, guys.

You know, that, hey, if you found one of these guys at 12 or 15, you'd be happy.

They just didn't want to take any of them at nine.

And once they moved up to six,

I mean, that was going to be Delane no matter what.

Yeah, I mean, I definitely thought that the Chiefs felt that there was a chance that they could get him signed, that there was just enough desperation there to a degree that he might agree to it.

Has that changed now?

Yeah, I think it has changed.

And what I wondered, I think it's probably changed a little bit on both sides.

Because, one, something could have gotten done if Rasheed Rice wanted it done.

You know, say it's May 1st.

I mean, if he wanted something to get done, it could have happened.

Because the Chiefs were, I think, willing to deal.

And, yes, it would have looked a lot like the Tyreek Hill contract.
