Not really... every camp practice, preseason game, even meaningless regular season game risks major injury, which risks contract value.
And missing camp, preseason, and even a couple regular season games doesn't impact his future contract... granted, it might alienate the Chiefs a bit if they start 0-2, but he'd probably be looking elsewhere anyway.
Maybe he ends up overplaying his hand, but at this point the dramatics are just fan narratives for the worst outcomes possible... and we're not there yet.
