My prediction for Downs is that he makes minimal impact early while he learns the playbook and everyone will lose their minds. Then he'll start to pick it up towards the end of the season and KC will re-sign him to a solid deal. Then he goes bananas next year.

This is all you really need to see to be a fan of this trade.
Make sure you click on the tweet below to see where KC's current WRs rank.
My 2 cents on Downs:
If Downs can show that he can be a reliable route runner that is where Mahomes expects him to be and creates separation in the process, Mahomes will insist he's re-signed and this move will be a huge longterm win.

We've got a few winners and losers from the Chiefs' 23-point victory over the Jets (via @LyleGraversen) arrowheadaddict.com/3-winner…
Not that anyone cares, but I'm going to miss my 8 leg parlay because the Chiefs couldn't get Cyrus Allen 10 yards receiving.

Harrison Butker has been a legend for the Chiefs and a huge part of their three Super Bowl wins. I understand why Reid and the front office have remained loyal. He’s earned that. But at some point, loyalty can become a liability. The Chiefs have a decision to make.
They have to cut Butker after this game. I'd rather they not go with Tucker, but there's got to be multiple guys out there that won't miss 8 FGs in 8 games.

Given the play of the defense outside of FG range and that fumbled QB sneak its amazing that KC is only down 9-7.
This is still an easy win if they can get themselves together.

Why are you wasting a blocker by having Fields AND Mahomes on the field?!?!
Just sub Mahomes out if you want Fields to be the tush push guy. Even when we do it we have to make it harder than it needs to be!

Why Andy Reid deserves the benefit of the doubt in the Kingsley Suamataia drama (via @LyleGraversen) arrowheadaddict.com/andy-rei…
I disagree, coaches have to have rules and accountability or they lose control.
I wish the team had a rule of not signing someone with Tucker's criminal issues, but signing him doesn't suddenly mean its free reign for players to skip meetings, show up late, etc.
I disagree on not airing the Kingsley stuff in the media being wrong. I think the players respect Reid for not bashing them in public. It's annoying for us not to know, but us knowing doesn't fix anything.
Anyone and everyone deserves bashing for the Tucker signing.
You can’t give that shit answer to the Tucker signing and decline to comment on why Kingsley was benched again.
Sorry but you have to say why he isn’t playing after this one.
