If you have two or three years left and threaten to hold out, can you make the threat and get traded? Chiefs have set a bad precedent here. I’m hoping they have a plan that we will come to fruition and we can say wow! Now it makes sense. Otherwise, this is a terrible move. The goal of a contract is for the player to out play the contract or create contract equity. If a player can threaten a hold out every time he’s “underpayed” what’s the point? The team never gets money back for players like Clark that underperform. We might as well sign everyone to one year deals.
