I would NOT be shocked if they bring back DJ on the cheap. Sounds like he knew he was rushing back a bit, and he would like to stay. He's probably the most realistic option we have at this point. |

You have literal pennies tied up in the basic skill positions on this roster. I'd venture a guess there is no team in football that has anywhere close to the low level of funds tied up in the RB, WR and CB position that we do. Even if you want to re-sign Hollywood or Juju, you've got 5 young starters at those spots that are all on rookie deals. They have a 1-2 year window where they can do some weird things and still be fine. I'm still not sold that they don't have a plan in the works. |

Color me ... not convinced they won't trade him. They very well could have an agreement in place to trade him to a team as soon as legally possible.

I didn't mean it in that way, I meant they have a somewhat weird two year window where they're paying their starting WRs, RB and CBs absolutely nothing. So, reasonably you could have all five offensive lineman making big bucks this year, and then you clear out some of that money in the next two years before the young guys come due for contracts.
I dunno, seems like they have a plan they are seeing through, so we just have to hope they keep doing the right things like they have been. |

If I were betting I'd say that they started working with the agent, got the impression that he was EXTREMELY confident that the market to pay him $23+ million was very robust and figured "well hell, we might as well tag him anyway as the AAV isn't going to be that bad in relation to his market number and if the market is as robust as the agent says, perhaps we'll get an offer for a 2nd rounder..."

If they're working on a long-term deal, did they need to tag him right now? Maybe. I don't think anybody has much other than the Chiefs deciding to place the tag on him. Maybe it means they're going to get the long-term deal done. Maybe it means they're going to try to get him to play on the tag. Maybe it means what I suggested. I don't think we can say with a great deal of certainty WHAT it means right now.

Where Rickey, or wanna-be Rickey, might be right here is $23M AAV is same as the tag
So if you're Smith... accepting that makes a ton of sense. Even if you wanted to prove yourself on the tag and hit the market next year, you wouldn't. |

They kinda fumbled that with Sneed last year I thought in that they made it too obvious they wouldn't keep him on the tag. |

Remember a few years ago when the Chiefs wanted to pay Trent Williams and couldn’t get him, so they pivoted to paying Joe Thuney?
I think this is a very similar situation and from what we know, it makes sense. The Tackle market is terrible and they want to keep the OL as strong as they can.
