Probably the average of the Top 5 guys, so 24.5 to 25.5M, somewhere in there.

Are we sure on that? We know KC gets a salary cap credit for next year in that scenario.
So say he holds out 8 games. Chiefs get $9M in cap credit towards 24 + it lowers his franchise tag number so much it isn’t a problem for KC to tag him at it?
That significantly reduces the players leverage on the holdout.
