I hope chiefs let him walk after this year and he takes a 1 year prove it deal with us. He knows Lamar makes him look good

I wouldn’t be surprise if they’re converting him.

Why wouldn't he? Where are they finding a better LT than him?

It’s not about finding a LT better, it’s about finding a good enough/suitable LT that they can justify the cap hit for.
with those mahomes/kelce/jones contracts there’s no guarantee they can do it

I mean that's fine, but as Ravens fans know by now, the FA market place for such players is basically shopping for the Villanueva type players.
If it were me, I'd just throw most of your money at offensive players and start over on defense. They're paying good money to guys like Clark, Jones, Mathieu, etc., and they're not getting much to show for it. Easily one of the worst defenses in the league through October.
Plus, similar to how they do other contracts, OBJ's cap hit in 2022 wouldn't probably be that big anyway. Definitely below $15M. Could easily be $10M or less. By the time he gets expensive, guys like Kelce will probably be gone.
I watched some kc game sunday and them
People were killing his ass.. i dnt think he gonna paid what he wants unless he turns it around.

OK, then he'll get paid less than what he wants. If nobody is willing to pay what you ask, you either get paid less, or don't play.
Regardless, I fail to see them acquiring, via the draft or FA, a better or even comparable player.
It would surprise me...

what do you think happens to him then? I think he’s too buried down in the depth chart now. He’s WR6 atm

His soft ass gets cut
hes mostly playing special teams right now
but he’s not a tight end - we’ll maybe see him run some routes as a big slot (but not seen that yet) but he’s not going to play TE for us
I honestly thought we’d cut him and his injury helped him keep his roster spot - I think nothing happens to him at least until we might need his roster spot...

He might be better than Oliver there and isn't he a pretty good blocker. Oliver likes to fumble.
boykin's a downfield blocker not an in-line blocker and we've seen boykin try to be a motion blocker too - so not sure what the point of moving him to TE would be...

Well then he is a special teamer or hes gone.
which is basically what he is now already - he's been a gunner since he came back and has played like 8 snaps on offence in the 3 games since he returned... and that's without sammy watkins on the field...

Shit, i looked back and Boykin was a 3rd round pick. What a disappointment.
dont look at who the other 3rd round pick was in that class lol
