I wouldn’t either. I love Tyrann but IF he is asking for anything like that, no.
Gotta draw the line somewhere. This team is trying to win it every year. Mahomes took less in the grand scheme of things. If you aren’t willing to take top of the market pay as a safety ($15m), see ya. [Reply]

He's going to be 29 next month. 3 year deal puts him at 32 at the end on the contract. 32 year old top safeties in the NFL have performed well at that age. [Reply]

I don’t think anyone is disputing that he will play well into his 30s. But he’s not going to be $20m per year good.
If he won’t take top safety pay around $15-16m per, I think I’m good moving on. [Reply]

Exactly.
It might not even be related to the Chiefs. The guy likes to vent on social media about all kinds of stuff. [Reply]
