I read Nate's article, I don't remember seeing that. But there's no way they'll pay him more than Donald.

Everyone wants to keep everyone.

Say Creed comes asking for 20 mil a year. He'll have been the best C in football for 3 years and with teh cap rising and inflation, he'd probably be justified to get that.

We ready to do that?

Center and Tackle are the hardest to replace.

The current Chiefs regime hasn't had a problem replacing C's.

LMAO injuries happen in football. And despite that he was still good. Dude had one of the best runs in football history and has a down year now it's "he fell off the map" LMAO

Using this logic, I don't get why people want to even pay Chris Jones $25 mil a year. If he's going to fall off the map when he turns 30, what's the point?

So Quinten Williams is the 2nd highest DT at $24 million and CJ wants to be at least #2 so not sure why $25-$27 million wouldn't work. But sounds like he wants $30 million and no way the Chiefs will pay him that.

What? Center isn't hard to replace and there's no way in hell they should pay $20mil for a center.

Because he not the best in coverage. He's a stud in everything else.

Sure...and I'm not paying $19 million a year to a LB who is meh in coverage.

This is a comment really taken out of context in the article. There's no reporting that that's what he's looking for.

The entire article is an overview of the situation with quotes from an ex-GM (Randy Mueller) and adds nothing substantive aside from the fact that no one in the organization thinks he's reporting prior to the end of camp (August 17th).

We have hardly had time to utilize his team friendly deal. It’s what only two years old now? Also everyone realizes because it’s so long it’s value to the team will only increase as others get paid. I’m not one of those that assume he is just going to demand more money every two years.

Idk who this guy is, but he’s right

He’s been pretty great for the most part but I’m not particularly a fan of his reduced production in non contract negotiating seasons.

Most likely this is his final big contract, so he would be smart to try and maximize that.

There wasn't a DT in the draft that would've changed the current situation.
