This is all that matters. The guy isn't obligated to sign a long-term deal with us. Play under the tag and let's revisit the situation next offseason. I'll hold no ill will toward him. If he wants to bet on himself, take the risk and do your thing.

But sit out? Oh, man. He'll go down amongst my least favorite Chiefs ever. This is a guy we brought in to play a premium position, the exact position he wanted, protecting the league's most valuable asset, who has been here for a year, and already he's forcing his will upon this team in potentially a season-altering way.

I won't jump to any conclusions until the situation works itself out. And I don't think it's worth any of your time doing otherwise.

It makes me wonder if it was a purposeful attempt to put us over the barrel. Use the agent thing as an excuse not to negotiate, so we don't know he wants to set the market until it's too late for us to easily move on. If we knew what he was asking for at the beginning of the offseason we could have traded him, signed Armstead, and/or drafted a guy.

He doesn't want to go to training camp in a contract year but KC should guarantee him 70+ million dollars?
[Reply]

It'd be a bit more than just season altering if he held out. We're playing one of the toughest schedules in history and on top of that traded away one of the best WRs in the game. Add OL uncertainty on top of that as well and we may just be DOA. Mahomes is a fucking savant but that's a tremendous ask even for him.

Is his dad dead? Why is this kid so retarded? Wants paid top LT play when he’s barely above avg. if he sits out cuz he doesn’t get paid, does he really think another team is going to make him the highest paid after his fat ass sits on a couch eating cheezy puffs all year?
[Reply]

I still think this is a factor in the negotiations. And Allegretti is very solid at guard. We will be fine.

Dallas had the best O-line in football for a couple of years. Where did that get them? Hell, we did too several years back. Same results as Dallas.

Thuney, Allegretti, Creed, Smith, and RT winner from camp will be good enough.

It really does matter, especially in this situation where they used the non exclusive tag where he can negotiate with other teams and get a feel for the current market.

It was so crazy, I swear I think Tyreek got in his head after the play to end the half. I’m starting the think the blow up at half time might’ve been more between Mahomes and Tyreek than anyone else. Maybe Pat stuck his nose out on the line to go for it and then was pissed Tyreek didn’t just cut it up immediately and that’s what led to it. I know something with the chemistry was off like crazy though and I’ve thought about this a lot. This is the best conclusion I can deduce. The comments Tyreek has made after he left seem to like up with this too.

Hmm. Post corner does make sense there, purely from a play design standpoint.

If it's man, you assume one of your guys can outrun their defender (primarily Hill since he'll have a break). If it's zone, you hope flooding that side of the field with routes from Hill and Hardman forces that outside defender to make a choice.

It also has a nice levels effect. Read low left, mid left, then high left. Cuts the field in half and makes an easy read for the QB.

Either way, still doesn't absolve Mahomes of blame. Since it looked like man, there's no safety to manipulate, and no reason to stare down Tyreek beyond comfort.

Thuney is not the answer at LT. He about got Mahomes killed in the first series of the 2nd half in that game and isn't as nearly as good of a LT as OBJ.
[Reply]

OBJ would be a major fool to not sign his contract. He is barely above average and has always been lazy.
[Reply]

I've noted that play twice before. We have seen that same scenario far more times from OBJ. And it was one play from Thuney. You see it frequently in every NFL game. Thuney had great footwork, and made far, far more good plays than OBJ can. There is a post a few pages back where OBJ gave up 7 pressures in the AFCCG. Thuney had one, despite not playing the position all year.

And I will agree that this is probably not what plan A is going into the season, it is a solid plan B. It's not like we have no option if OBJ holds out. It's one that can suffice for a season. Thuney and Allgretti are fine.

He knows Niang isn't ready, and his comment about a backup LT is to the guy they signed Geron Christian and the other LT from the practice squad.

But it's okay, go ahead Orlando... don't play. Andy and Brett Veach will not miss you as they are not going to be backed into a corner about a contract. They will figure something out and it won't involve you. So next year you will be a year older and 16 million poorer (more based on what you have to pay your agent), and the Chiefs will still own your rights. So they tag you again and then you don't play (wash, rinse, repeat).

Now you can go out and do a Tyreek Hill, the Chiefs will get 2 firsts and you can move on.

Not gonna lie. I'd love to see how some of you would act if you were put in his position and had any conception what it took to reach that level.

A lot of reactionary drama queens here.
[Reply]

I'm not particularly excited about having KC be tied to Brown with a long term contract.

On the other hand, it would be nice if Thuney at LT was plan B in the event of injuries...
