This is where I am confused. What is his leverage? I get it, we aren't the same defense without him and I hope we sign him, but he has way more to lose tahn the Chiefs if he doesn't sign.

Well regardless of what happens in Veach we trust.

It would be a sad day, but if he truly is being unreasonable I'd have no problem making him play this year, then moving on... maybe draft a DT #1 and shore it up with a young vet free agent

In which case you’re punting LT to another year?

Yeah, I doubt if Veach overpays him too much. Kind of like letting Tyreek go, its the way it is sometimes.

Lets see what Donovan Smith brings before we punt

I’m optimistic he’ll be fine this year, but he’s on a one year contract and I’m not sure if it’s wise to count on him long term at his age.

There was a draft rumor the Chiefs were trying to trade up for Mazi Smith. No team they were talking to wanted to trade with KC, understandably. As we sit here today that rumor makes a lot of sense.

Although I like Felix Mazi may have helped the team more. Perhaps Veach saw a contract dispute coming? It's a mess.

In all reality the best option for the Chiefs long term is to let Chris play out his contract this year then use the Franchise Tag next year. After that his value will drop dramatically due to his age.

I'm with Veach on this, play hardball. Chris is making a ton of money this year. We're about to find out how much he really loves this team.

He's only 30, if he looks good we have a year or two to get it figured out long term... #NoWorries

Yeah, if he never wants to play anywhere else... then prove it

We're getting ready to become a genuine dynasty, why would you wanna haggle over a few million, when the fame that comes with that is worth far more than a few million?

Hi Chop, how's life brother? We haven't seen you around in a while.

A year or two?

No KC doesn't have two years to figure it out. They aren't going to sign him to a one year extension. I guess he could theoretically play on the tag next year, but, no.

He either signs a multi year deal with KC or he at most plays one more year in KC.

Have you ever been tested for ADD, complete awkwardness or just mental slowness in general?

It's like you can't see the difference between when a PM is appropriate or just stumbling into a gaffe into an unrelated thread you think you could take over because of whatever deficiency you're struggling with in life. If you shit your pants in real life would you consider it awkward to still be holding on a conversation without cleaning up?


Wow!

Why are we even arguing?

Lets see him play a season, and then we'll know what needs to happen going forward

You don't seem nice

nope just being friendly.
