Brown Jr was not signing here. That ship sailed and it had zero to do with Veach. Brown Jr wanted to reset the market and Veach called his bluff. Brown Jr ended up signing for less than KC offered him. Zero chance he was coming back for less than KC originally offered him, and zero chance Veach would have offered him the same as the original offer.

it's the sunk cost fallacy. he's already losing money so he has to hold out for the massive payout to make up for it (even if it won't actually make up for it).

I don't actually hate CJ I just think he's gotten bad advice. players look at this differently than fans, I have no expectation for him to feel the same way about the chiefs that I do

WOW!!! Just caught up on the last 15 or so hours of this thread. I'm guessing jettio is going to wake up with a hell of a hangover. Had to be drunk AF to post all of that stupidity.

Yep. Ive gone back and read that OBJ poll thread, and I cant believe all those who wanted to pay him. So adament about it too. LMAO.
I think we are so much better off now.

Yeah, I was reading those posts last night thinking, he must have sprung for the $6 bottle of Old Crow with the attitude, "By God, I'm going to finish this bottle!!"

Like my dad always says " A fool and his money will soon part"

Thing is…..if the money is what we’re hearing I’m not sure he’s gonna get anyone to trade and pay it

The chiefs run into this because they win. A lot. And win big games.

Guys associate that with getting paid big money.

This is where I'm at too.
He got bad advice or his ego got the best of him.

Come play lights out the last year of your contract and let the market decide what happens next year.

True and sad

Exactly, this is going to be a consistent problem as long as Mahomes and Reid are here. We will keep winning big and being in the spotlight, and guys like OBJ, Hill and Jones will come and go thinking they're bigger than they really are.

It's literally the exact same thing that happened to the Patriots. They watched guys like Ty Law, Lawyer Milloy and Richard Seymour (just to name a few) price their way out of town and they just kept winning because they had Brady and Belichick. This is who we are now, and it's part of the reason so many people said maintaining a dynasty would be next to impossible. Everyone wants to be a star, everyone wants to get paid.

It was probably short sighted to think guys like Hill and Jones would just keep taking team friendly deals to stick around. Not everyone is in this league for the glory of greatness like Pat, Andy and Kelce. Jones won it all twice now and now he wants his money and stardom. We'll move on and keep winning and guys like him and Hill will rot away with shitbag franchises in their twilight years just like the guys I mentioned above. I'm already over him and look forward to getting some picks for him.

If Smith is at worst the equal of Brown Jr. then KC still wins that situation. They get equal performance for a fraction of the long term cost and if he's Brown Jr. level good, KC can walk away at the end of the season from him vs being stuck with Brown Jr long term.

Bad example, Neil wanted to win a championship and won 2 at Denver. I can admire wanting to win. Jones won 2 championships and now wants his bag.

All of these contracts and holdouts just make me love Kelce even more. Dude is severely underpaid but you never hear him complain about it and he's publicly said that he doesn't want to play for anyone other than the Chiefs. He knows that Mahomes/Reid are his best chance for cementing him as the best TE ever.

Yep, this is the exact opposite of that situation. Neil knew he wasn't going to win shit with dipshit Peterson at the helm, and he bailed for a team with an actual franchise QB. Can't blame him one bit.
