Veach said the #Chiefs had 16-18 players with first round grades and Felix was one of them.

Also said a couple AFC teams weren’t interested in trading with Kansas City.

Naturally.

Which is pretty far out of left field for the off-season coming off an injury when he was under contract for the following year.

There had to be some kind of catalyst for it. I always assumed it was exactly the sort of contract extension I was hoping we'd offer.

Man, if he's hoping to be paid like an elite DE I think he's going to be sorely disappointed. I like Omenihu well enough but he ain't that.
