Even if they tag him and move into FA they can still make moves.
Kinda weird how people quickly forgot back in 2010 when Brett Veach had $177 and a Hyvee coupon in cap space but yet he extended Chris Jones, extended Sammy and gave Mahomes half a billion.
The Chiefs have
all of the leverage. they can tag his fat ass and use the Mahomes contract restructure at any time they want. And Patrick won't be mad at it all. "Hey Patrick. This is Brett. We just restructured your contract to free cap space. The check for about $15 million can be sent by check or direct deposit. You choose."
Chris has no leg to stand on. He's already ****ed up but not enough to make it hurt us. If he shows up now we won't be able to afford his outrageous $30+ million cap hit which won't allow us to tag him unless it's short term to get a trade done at the combine.
If I'm an NFL player, especially on this team, I'm looking at what happened to Orlando Brown Jr and now Chris Jones and thinking "yeah that agent fee is worth it to not end up like those two."
