I know injuries are freak things, but FAU is quickly approaching bust territory
He's still pretty young, he doesn't turn 24 until January, but you'd think he start showing signs of improvement. It felt like a PR pick at the time, local kid gets drafted in hometown by favorite team. However, outside of LaPorta, the next 10 or so draft picks haven't been surefire winners either. Not sure who they would have even taken if they did take FAU.
Had high hopes for Moore when they drafted him but he was a huge bust. I even bought into the hype a couple years ago when all the fantasy experts were predicting him to have a breakout and he still stunk. Felt like he had just as bad of hands as Toney.
I had high hopes for the guy, but too many drops and getting his head into the game was his undoing. Guy has talent, but the Chiefs and Mahomes no longer trusted him, better to trade him now then cut him and get nothing.
Felt like he never trusted himself after those dropped punts in that Colts game. Still, guy has a SB TD, the big punt return in the AFC championship game that year, and two rings. There's top receivers in the game that would love to have that on their resume.
Really the move was just dumping some salary for a guy that is buried on the depth chart at this point. All they are doing is swapping late round picks in 2027 so basically traded him to the 49ers for nothing. Not that he was making much at around $1.5 mil cap hit but any incremental savings add up.
They got a return on a guy that they were going to end up cutting, Moore was not going to make the roster, so at best they put him on the practice squad, and another team would have taken a flyer on him. So either way they were going to lose him, this way they at least got something in return. Moving up to the 6th round is better than staying in the 7th round, even if it cost KC Moore and their 7th round pick.
Not only a good move by KC, but also a practical move, got something for nothing.
Agree but this was mostly salary dump move for a 2nd round bust. Just a lotto ticket for whoever they get in the 6th round in 2027 at this point instead of a 7th rounder. Will be interesting to see if Moore sees the field in SF with their mess at WR these days
The amount he is owed was less important than getting the $1.5 million cap hit off the books, they would have taken if they cut him.
Moore has talent, but he was never going to fulfill it in KC, he was behind Worthy and Rice, they like the new guy they drafted and throw in the veterans that have produced, there was little to no way he was going to make the roster.
That's too bad. I know its preseason and the Bears but they've looked really good.
really pixxed me off so I shut off the tv turned it on and then game came on
