They're absolutely right. Because once a deal gets made, suddenly everything you did WITH that person goes out the window. Which led to silly decisions whereby teams never considered what you could accomplish with a guy and how long that can reverberate. The Braves could've dealt Freeman at the deadline - they didn't. You think they give a shit? Flags fly forever fellas and they'd lose him as a FA 100 times out of 100 to secure that WS.
"We made a commitment to him! Tyreek should have taken less to stay!!!"
Dafuq? The hell you say - Tyreek Hill signed a 3 year deal in September of '19 and our commitment to him led to 3 straight AFC Championships, 2 Hunt trophy's and a Lombardi.
That tab is paid, y'all. Dudes contributions here were FAR in excess of what we paid him. And by paying him, we also managed to extend our team control over him to the point we could then deal him.
That commitment has been satisfied over and over again. We're WELL ahead of the game with Tyreek Hill, even had we taken him in the top 10 of the draft.
"Don't cry because it's over - smile because it happened..."
The '**** Tyreek' crowd can sodomize themselves with a cactus. That shit is just stupid.

Nah. Tyreeks success is just as much a product of the amazing support we gave him and the man throwing to him, which he’s going to find out quick with Tua. There was no reason for this to happen, but greedy selfish players aren’t level headed people. I’ll say it again, Chiefs weren’t offering minimum wage. The idea he wasn’t being compensated ENOUGH for a TEAM sport is pretty silly. But then again I also think paying someone 500 million is pretty out of control too for what it’s worth. That’s just me.
