If he were to go out this year and throw up 8 sacks he would lose a ton of money in his FA year. |

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.

B. He needs a year of service time to actually be a FA. |

Oh, I'm sure this is coming from his agent. Once again he is under contract. He needs to hump it into camp and play football.

He's basically using the only leverage he has, he has to show it now because if he were to get Franchise tagged next year that would cause a whole new issue.

I think a few of you have gotten use to the idea the Chiefs don't have contract disputes, but this stuff is pretty common place.

When the guy is going to social media to do whatever it is he's doing....that's not usually something this regime is gonna be interested in dealing with.

Some of his comments like he'll only play for the Chiefs etc are entirely designed to try to make the organization look bad if he leaves. |

Well, he's now saying he ain't coming back til week 8 and he can afford to pay the fines.
So it seems we're still in this for a while. |

If the standoff is worth never getting paid again then by all means, if he sits out 8 weeks before going into FA at 30, he won't get paid, teams will question his desire on top of his age.

I guess I missed that too. Hope that's not the case, because if he misses 7 weeks of football, it's not like he's going to pop in and be the same player right away.
