He doesn't have to worry about that anymore

You forgot Hitchens' contract in the link you posted, btw.

ICYMI:

NFL's Worst Offseason Contracts:

Anthony Hitchens, Chiefs linebacker: Free agency so often comes down to timing and connections. Hitchens happened to time his trip into the open market to coincide in the same season that his old position coach with the Cowboys, Matt Eberflus, was named the defensive coordinator with the Colts. That led to a bidding war and a contract that raised eyebrows around the league.

It's rare to see any inside linebacker get a $14 million signing bonus and $21.5 million fully guaranteed over the first two years of a contract, much less one who has never come close to a Pro Bowl berth. The Chiefs believe Hitchens can add some pass-rush ability from the position, but something doesn't add up when Hitchens' contract is in the ballpark of Luke Kuechly's and Bobby Wagner's last deals. Even limiting the comparison to this year's free-agent market, more productive players like Avery Williamson and Zach Brown received vastly inferior contracts.

That's worrisome news for the Chiefs, but great news for Hitchens and his agent. Every "worst contract" on this list could easily be flipped and called a "best contract" for the player involved, rare cases where the teams lose in a system stacked heavily in their favor.
