Nah, it's really simple.
Player hires "agent" with zero experience. "Agent" has absurd contract demands. Veach pivots and goes and gets a guy that actually has the skill set and athleticism they prefer. "Agent" finds out what player's real market is. Player has to take significantly less that he could've had from the beginning. [Reply]

It does make me wonder why KC offered him the huge contract last season. He was actually in BETTER shape this year. [Reply]
I’m seeing on Twitter that this deal was basically the same as the one we offered last year except we had more funny money in it (he wouldn’t have seen that) and more years were gauranteed in the Bengals deal [Reply]
