Being able to play next to Chris will only help their development too.
You have to think about this as an investment not only in Chris himself, but in his ability to be a force multiplier to many pieces around him. [Reply]
Remember kids.. a shut down corner eliminates one WR… an elite pass rusher eliminates ALL of them. The @Chiefs paid the right guy https://t.co/VPAlyXnVCf

That's still over 31.5 per year at 95/3. So it's a big chunk of money. The structure of year 4/5 are what's important to determine if this is a good deal or not. We don't have info on the total $ yet. I'd feel pretty confident that there's no guaranteed money after year 3 so it's about how much dead cap do you have to eat after year 3 if he's declined.
And also, is there more non guaranteed money in the first 3 years? Because if so, those first 3 go from 31.5 per to ??. [Reply]

Shows players the Chiefs will take care of you if you do your part for them.
Chris definitely earned this and I’m happy for him.
Yeah... or they tag and trade you like Sneed...
And did week one of this season not count for every step of the way? [Reply]
FUCK YESSSSSSS! I do not care about the $$$$ I care about the player! He is now here through his career! CHIEF for life as he always wanted! :-) [Reply]

Loved Sneed but Chris is a unicorn. Glad LJ is about to make generational wealth dude deserves it. Need Veach to hit in this draft i.e. McDuffie and Karlaftis. [Reply]
