Not sure if Skylar Thompson or Mike White will be up for the challenge.

We all know the story now, Tyreek and the Chiefs had a deal in place. Devante got paid from the Raiders along with Christian Kirk, Tyreek pulled back wanting more money, Chiefs said no or gave him their best offer, Tyreek chose the money. Tyreek chose the money. I don't care how many times I have to say it but Tyreek chose the money. Tyreek chose wrong and cost himself another Super Bowl ring. Now Juju Smith Schuster, Marquez Valdes Scantling, Kadarius Toney, Skky Moore, and Justin Watson have as many rings as he does. Travis Kelce has more than he does now. Tyreek... chose wrong, and chose money over family and the team, and then to pretend like the Browns, Jets or Dolphins were better options than Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid and the Chiefs.

Of course they do. That doesn't make it the right choice or even necessarily a good choice. It's just a choice.
Tyreek made that choice and now he has to live with it. Apparently, though he can't handle being quiet about it. |

I heard a reporter talking about it 1 day and he was saying fans really seem to not understand what matters to players.
It's basically Money......huge gap...coaching staff/city small gap winning And that may change for an older player who wants a ring because he's going to retire soon but in most cases money accounts for about 95% of the decision. |

In an environment as violent and volatile as football, where your next play has a chance to be your last, you need to also get it as fast as you can. Football ends. Taking less money for a "chance" at a championship is not good business when your talent level can bring you the kind of money and guarantees that he got, in a state with no state income tax. I don't care for his whining, but I don't consider him taking that monster deal to be choosing wrong. He made it. What's more, he earned it. Now, he wanted to have his cake and eat it too, and he's salty that it didn't work out, and he should work on containing his crying. But he made the correct decision in the big picture.

Many of them do, but I then bring up the great saying of, "The more you **** around, the more you're going to find out." I would actually love to see them poll former NFL greats and ask them how much of their current wealth would they be willing to part with for another Super Bowl ring. I'd like to see the results.

Hill chose greed over another ring. He was offered a lot of money but his ego passed for more money the highest paid wr title. Greed will be the downfall of America.

I think you got the right of it - but it wasn't greed; it was ego. He sees money as a proxy for respect (and lets be 100% honest here - many, if not most, of the real world does as well). If it was strictly money, he doesn't worry at all about that stupid 4th year on the deal that everyone knows he'll never see. But the headlines and the prestige mattered to him. It was ego. And that's fine - anyone ever think Tyreek was the most humble dude out there? He's played with a chip on his shoulder for most of his career. I'm fine with that. But he made the choice he made and it's time to move the **** on, dude. Let it go.

In my own situation, I've had the chance to be promoted from an individual contributor to a people leader several times and I've turned down the money every time. Why? Because the guys and gals above me make 25% more but work 25% more. They travel 75% more and they're in an office almost 100% more. In addition, 80% of them are divorced, alcoholics, or both. Did Tyreek earn the money? Yep. Did Tyreek make the BEST decision for himself? You'd think so considering what he got paid but his CONTINUED comments about the team he WILLINGLY left suggest he feels at least a little bit that taking the money wasn't the best decision. |
