Now Juju Smith Schuster, Marquez Valdes Scantling, Kadarius Toney, Skky Moore, and Justin Watson have as many rings as he does. Travis Kelce has more than he does now. Tyreek... chose wrong, and chose money over family and the team, and then to pretend like the Browns, Jets or Dolphins were better options than Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid and the Chiefs.

Not getting the hate for taking the money. At the end of the day, this is his job. The point of a job is to make as much money as you can.
In an environment as violent and volatile as football, where your next play has a chance to be your last, you need to also get it as fast as you can.
Football ends. Taking less money for a "chance" at a championship is not good business when your talent level can bring you the kind of money and guarantees that he got, in a state with no state income tax.
I don't care for his whining, but I don't consider him taking that monster deal to be choosing wrong.
He made it. What's more, he earned it. Now, he wanted to have his cake and eat it too, and he's salty that it didn't work out, and he should work on containing his crying. But he made the correct decision in the big picture.
