If he knows this is the last time he gets paid what keeps him reaching into the elite engine? What even keeps him very good when his talent starts to fade?

Eh, there's some revisionist history here.
I mean people questioned if he'd play hard after he got paid the first time and I think he's definitely played hard, even if his production has gone up and down a bit. His developments in the run game are the best evidence of that.
And people questioned if he'd still handle the rigors of the contact getting moved to the DT position out of the 3-4 and he handled that extremely well. He's done anything he's been asked and done it without complaint and, IMO, to the best of his ability.
I'm not gonna shit on the man's effort at all. He's done nothing but grow and mature in his time in KC and he's demonstrated his commitment to the team to a substantial degree.
