Good lord Veach is a GM savant! What a genius move.

This playoff stretch we saw some really erratic kicking. Tucker and butker continue to be on mount olympus. Butker should get whatever he asks for.

Tommy, if you don't want your ring, I will take it.

There are still enough dinosaurs in the league that someone will offer him 3/$12 million.

Love Tommy but we need all the money we can get to re-sign my guy Jones. Great move Veach

Which, in a way, is a good thing.

He's already in the budget at a fairly healthy cap figure. An extension would likely lower that figure a bit this year while also not adding a substantial amount of 'new' money to coming cap sheets.

This isn't like trying to find a way to go from $2 million to $15 million for Bolton. A substantial raise for Butker only adds $3 million to the cap sheet. That should be eminently doable.

Exactly. You only need $2M per year to pay Butker the same as the current “best kicker ever” salary. $2M is chump change. Simply avoid dumb salaries like MVS above $10M per year and you easily afford top dollar for Butker’s new deal.

I just read somewhere else that Tommy had hired megadouche Rosenhaus as his agent, which probably means negotiations with him wouldn't have ended well anyway.

You can literally find hard proof of something and if it goes against the narrative he's crafted in his head he'll do anything to disregard or ignore it. Completely pointless to interact with him.

Ironically, every other sentence I read is "that narrative here" or "going against the narrative" ....his narrative is 75% making up other people's narratives.

Ever notice that Tommy finds his way into almost every shot?

Trophy presentation, Reid saying How Bout Those Chiefs in the locker room, anything Chiefs biggest moment related and there's Tommy

Its kind of funny for a punter

Tommy is looking to cash in, and who can blame him? No hard feelings. Win-win situation.

notorious 02-22-2024 04:00 PM

Two rings. Go get that back Tommy.

Make sure you choke a kick or two against us, though.

And Rosenhaus is the right guy for that.

I don't love seeing him representing any of our key guys, but he's a pro. He knows how to get things done. He knows how far he can push things. He knows when it's time to pull the chute and get the best possible deal for his client instead of ride the train into a mountain.

If there's a good deal for Tommy out there, Rosenhaus will get it for him.

If I were a Free Agent or even someone entering my FA year, he'd probably be the guy I hired. He might be a douche and embody everything we hate about 'sleazy agents', but he's really damn good at his job.

Go get it, Tommy. I'm just happy it won't be with us.
