Because we have a HoF caliber Defensive tackle to sign and a Franchise QB on a veteran contract.

That's not the case for everyone else out there.

Other team simply have different roster makeup and cap breakdowns than we do. It's no different than the Tyreek Hill conversation last year.

At a point you can only do so much.

But if I'm betting, you see Jones and OBJ both get new deals this offseason. Sneed is a closer question - if I'm him, I probably try to make it to the market instead of extend early.

Yeah. No possible chance he plays a single down on the tag after this year.

He’s proven himself in the last 2 years and deserves to be paid top of the market $.

If Brett is as smart as I think he is, he’s going to try to lock up Orlando for as many years as he can and I genuinely think Orlando wants that, too.

Like I said 10/250 with lots of piggy banks built in would be a game changer for both sides.

Some of this will be about info we aren't privy to. Was his knee injury really bothering him and causing the poor play and he's past that now and this is who he is?
[Reply]

They're not going to give anybody not named Mahomes a 10-year contract.
[Reply]

Jones, yes, I agree wiht.

Sneed, nah I don't think so. LT is just such a big deal, especially in this offense, I don't think you can go into a situation where you're banking on the draft breaking your way for one.

In the event you can't get OBJ done here, you trade him and you aggressively pursue other options I guess, but with him being in the building now and ingrained in the system...man I dunno. I'd think they want him around.
[Reply]

I think you're infinitely more likely to see Brown pursue a 3 year deal than a 10 year deal.

He's just a different cat. He seems completely unafraid of FA and more than happy to look to maximize his value at every turn. A 10 year deal doesn't jibe with any of that.

And frankly, that sort of deal would be awfully difficult for the Chiefs to manage. A 3 year deal is going to offer very little cap flexibility but I suspect that will be his plan.
[Reply]

I'd like to have Sneed signed sooner than later in a Kelce kinda of situation. He was a late pick, doesn't have much money banked yet. I'd think he woudl be interested in an earlier than you think extension?
[Reply]

:-) We already know that Veach brought in Brown with the expectations he'd sign a team friendly contract and that they were not so subtle in displaying their unhappiness that Brown and his agent weren't willing to meet their terms. Now you expect him to pivot off that and give him a market resetting deal after he's performed worse comparatively to 2021? Lolololol
[Reply]

I agree with you that Brown Jr hiring an amateur agent at the eleventh hour was incredibly stupid and ruined the deal last Summer. I do think Veach has been talking to him about this though in terms of structure.

They’ll definitely push the Chris Jones and Brown Jr contracts out with long term slow building deals. Sneed and Juju will probably get deals too, though I’d think Juju will get the Sammy Watkins/Tyrann Matheiu 2 year deal dressed up as a 3 year deal.

We’re gonna lose guys bc of this. Willie Gay? Probably gone. Trey Smith? Probably gone. Joe Thuney will be let go likely after the end of next season.

And honestly FA just exhausts me. There’s rarely a truly great player available. I’d much rather fill holes with the McKinnon, Dunlap, MVS, Reid contracts that aren’t pushing us over the edge.

Just keep drafting well and it really doesn’t matter..
[Reply]

He's not resetting the market.

Both Jones snd Sneed are under contract in 2023, so OBJ can be the focal point.

With agents knowing the cap will likely explode in 2024, they will likely be hesitant to agree to a deal tge year before their client is scheduled to hit the biggest FA period in history. Especially Jones, unless he gets an offer topping Donald’s…which he absolutely should. He’s a game wrecking fucking unicorn that breathes fire and puts fear in the eyes of opposing QBs.

I can see Sneed agreeing to a reasonable extension because his pockets are light and KC loves him…but it’s not a pressing issue and KC owns that leverage.

OBJ isn’t under contract next year snd absolutely won’t play a single down under the tag.

That makes his deal by far most important.

I’ve listened to Orlando and the dude WANTS a long term deal to stay in KC. I don’t think it’s going to be a negotiation that ends with him leaving KC. That just wouldn’t make sense.

10/250

And for the love of God, please miss me with the "but, but, but, injuries and losing weight" excuses. He's a fucking 6 foot 8 behemoth that fluctuates between 340 and 380. He's ALWAYS going to have these problems, especially in the lower extremities. That's the reality when you're a human that size.
[Reply]

Positional value plays here.

I can find an athletic outside LB'er (just drafted one last year) and guards alot easier than I can find a LT>
[Reply]

They're not giving a LT a 10 year deal. Why are we even discussing that?
[Reply]

Veach offered him a deal that was in no way “team friendly”. His average was going to be $23.1 million which is the highest at the position. His signing bonus was gonna be slightly more than Trent Williams.

The deal was set up to pay him $95 million in the first 3 years. What are you taking about? :-)
