For that matter Tyreek just got paid; shouldn't we be worried that he'll mail in the rest of his contract?
And Pat Mahomes . . . well obviously according to the likes of Wallsucker, we should trade him before we have to sign him to a big contract, because he'll suck afterwards. Plus, he's 25 now, and obviously athletically he can only go down from here.

OK, Megatard, it appears literacy is among your many weak mental aspects.
You see, Megadouche, the Berry and Houston deals are not irrelevant. They are a perfect, shining example of why you dont dump a ton of money on one guy. Those who dont know history, are dooned to repeat it. The Chiefs have been burned twice, and I find it extremely hilarious you say Berry was irrelevant, because were the Chiefs not still eating dead money, we arent in as piss poor a position to retain our players that we are now.
While yes, Megazord, you could cherry pick the guys who got stupid money and produced decent results on one hand, (assuming you can count, thats a big ****in leap of faith but hey..) there are far more instances of complacency and injury on these huge deals than homeruns. Dwayne Bowe wants to know if you need anything from Sonic, btw.
As I said before, Megaturd, Patrick Mahomes, the best player on the God damn planet, is the ONLY guy worthy of any contract number. The guy has the ability to affect the outcome of any given game by himself, and more importantly, is irreplaceable. Even he knows that in order to build the team, he probably has to take less than hes really worth.
Your ridiculous little comment about trade Kelce hes 30, doesnt hold water. Kelce isn't looking to be the leagues top paid receiver.
Hill, big swing and a miss there too. Everyone with a functioning braincell knows Hills deal has been structured so that we do not get burned, due to his off field soap opera that was taking place.
In the end, Megatranny, if Jones is more interested in breaking the bank than winning super bowls, he needs to do that elsewhere and we utilize the picks and cash to deepen the roster with talent across the board.
The ship kind sailed when no deal was done with Jones, and we gave Frank Clark his money. To your point, Clark did produce. But only after a period where CP got up in arms about how much he sucked. Getting a Lombardi softens the blow of his deal, so even if he flames out going forward due to injuries or what have you, people will still reflect on that one good postseason run that helped us win a title and say it was worth every penny.
They are probably right, but it still doesnt change the fact that his deal affects the Jones deal, and affects the overall team.
Hopefully Megadork, that clarifies some things for you.
