I am not betting on his knees holding up long enough for us to build a team that can compete with Mahomes.
I'll roll the dice with 21 and 22 year old draft picks on rookie deals and keep building the roster that way. Our defense isn't good enough to keep Howard around.
Can't be sentimental about this situation. Xavien Howard is my favorite player. I wish he was 23, making two mill a year and has never been hurt. We got his prime years out of him already. It's time for someone else to pay the big money on the decline.
Watch the Cleveland Browns come calling in the offseason, after they can't slow down KC next week and are looking for answers.
If our FO trades Howard, it's because they got an offer they couldn't resist. I'm hoping that happens. I am 100% behind the FO if they decide to move on from 25.
Devante Parker, while not having nearly the value of X, probably needs to go for the same reasons as Howard. The team that will be built to compete with KC and Buffalo isn't going to need two guys almost 30, making big money and constantly dealing with injuries. It's just not the best track for us.
