Bill traded him to Oakland and used the first rd pick to get Nate Solder for 7 years, a key part of that dynasty.
I don't like losing Chris, but Veach and staff have been so good. No denying that last years draft class was maybe the best in Chiefs history.

I think thats actually a really good comparison.
Seymour was 29.....Best at his position.......Last year of his contract and asking for more than Bill/Pats wanna pay......
Also Seymour wasn't traded until Sept 6th!
People say Veach won't trade him and while I tend to agree he would not be doing his job if he didn't atleast see what other teams would pony up for him in a trade. Hell if I were Veach I'd call the bluff and tell them to go ahead and seek a trade package to a team that will pay the $30M. I honestly think Jones DOES want to retire here and when push comes to shove he will tell his agent to sign the damn papers before being traded to the Bears or some no winning team.
Lets see those balls Veach!
