Unless he takes a team friendly deal, they’ll likely let him test the market and let him see his value. He's not worth close to what the highest paid OLB’s are getting. Nor would the Chiefs consider paying him as such.

Ahh I forgot that there was no distinction there at LB. Yea, not happening.

Don't think they'll tag Trey either honestly.

Need to see the structure of the deal but wow

I guess we need to keep in mind it’s an extension as well. He’s making like 5 million this year, so it’s really 5-years, $77 million if you want to look at it like that. Seems more reasonable.

Either way, they clearly decided he was not expendable. We know they have no problem letting guys leave if they think we can get by without them, so just have to trust them.

Don't really understand why folks are surprised at the AAV. The last elite center to sign did so in 2021.

Not a fan of this, but in Mahomes/Veech I trust.

$18 million X 4 years with $50 million guaranteed? Thats a lot but he’s worth it.

That’s not how ‘guaranteed’ works.

If he plays 4 years, he’s getting $72 million. If he only gets 50, that’s only gonna be over 3 years.

It’s a big Fing contract. Not sure I’d have given it to him. But we’ll see if the structure paints a different picture somehow.

Love it! Creed is good!

That’s why this AAV for creed is strange to me.

Tag figure for Creed was like $13 million. And they weren’t going to use it on Bolton or Smith.

So you gave him 3 years and $59 million on TOP of the tag year?

Sorry but this just feels like too much by a solid 15%.

Yeah you're right. Ugh. Was just trying to get the best case scenario out of it. Well fuck.

Yes, there is definitely no value here. And it feels like on a position-adjusted basis center inflation is nearly on par with guard inflation.

It is what it is. They clearly value what he brings.

Trust thy Veach.

See you later, Trey.

Wait, what? Tags for OL aren't by position. The tag would be a bit over 20 million for Creed.

Pretty Rickey approves

Three years for 50 million is good to me. Hopefully there is nothing guaranteed in year four. Smith is gone.
