If they draft a QB at 1-1 that needs to be developed, I'm all in favor of trading Andre. I know that sounds like sacrilege but AJ deserves to play for a playoff contender and we aren't going to be one while taking a few years to develop Bortles or Manziel. Do the same for Foster too. Neither is going to be a significant part of the team for our next playoff run. Might as well deal them while they still have some value.

But, but, but... THE CHIEFS!

And then Uncle Bob gets his evening dose and calms down.

Once we know that the team is going to try to rebuild with a young quarterback (we obviously don't know that yet) I would certainly go to Andre and get his feedback. If he wants to go I'd try to move him. Not because I think trading away your best players for little or no return is a good way to make your team better but because of the tremendous respect I have for that fellow as a player and a person.

And this team is not going to draft Manziel, not at 1, not at 33, not at 533. Your bizarre fantasies of hyperinflation, armed rebellion and secession are more likely than that.

In the trade market, as a running back, I don't think Foster has that much value. Might as well keep him. A good RB is great for a young RB, btw.

As for Andre, if the team has a 2- or 3-yr rebuild in mind, yeah, move him. The team still has DeAndre, and I wonder how important WRs will be in this new system versus Kubiak's (as opposed to COP backs and TEs).

We have DeAndre, Posey and Martin if we can keep them all healthy plus Lestar Jean who I still think can be good in the right system. But if we can find somebody who will give us contract relief on AJ, that would be a huge rock off of the next few payrolls and could certainly go towards bringing in another quality wideout.
