I actually kind of see his point. His target average did go down quite a bit over the last several weeks last season. There are even a few games in there with only 2-3 targets like he said. Last game of the year in Denver he had 3 targets and 1 catch for 2 yds. Bizarre. I didn’t remember that.
But the bottom line is that he still finished the year near the top of the league in targets. And with the most targets he’s had in a Chiefs uniform (by a lot). I think it was a Chiefs record. While sharing the field with one of the greatest TEs ever. Just laughably narcissistic. I assume he’s smart enough to understand that with the amount of attention that he draws from defenses, there will be times that they have to go elsewhere. And the offense was at its best down the stretch, so he can’t pretend that it was detrimental to the team.
It’s funny that he claims to have no ill will toward anybody, including Veach, yet he’s chomping at the bit to play KC and make a statement.
At some point it was rumored that the Chiefs camp felt like he was stunting Mahomes’ growth as a QB and also that he wasn’t the world’s greatest teammate behind closed doors. I have to think there’s truth to that. Otherwise, I doubt they let him go over a few million per. If he were a less selfish player, I’m betting he’d still be in KC.
Good luck winning Super Bowls in Miami. Not happening.
