As a first round pick I believe we also have a fifth year option on him, but I could be wrong. Of course the fifth year isn’t dirt cheap, but if we wanted to keep him (provided he pans out) I believe we can keep him two seasons after this one if we want.

Now that you brought it up Ross has been seeming extra nice lately.

He was a first rounder though, so I believe we have his 5th year option as well. That will be a bit pricey if we use it but still technically a year of control if we want it.

There's also the franchise tag beyond that, if needed/wanted.

Both would require him showing he can stay healthy over the course of this year/next year.

This year: They'll pick up the fifth year option
Next year: They'll look at the franchise tag or an extension

If he can stay relatively healthy for two seasons in the Chiefs' system/care program (say, he plays a total of 29 regular season games), that makes him a much safer bet moving forward and potentially worth an extension.

I think the chances of him playing 29 regular season games is almost impossible lol. There have been some reports of him missing the first 4 games. That only gives him 1 game where he can miss. If they could get him to not miss anymore, then I'd consider it a borderline miracle and then we can nominate the training staff for sainthood.

Toney has to produce more that 170 yards before I'm willing to put the franchise tag on him. He lasted about 1/3rd an offseason as our #1.

Pssst.

Decision is picking up his 5th year option for 2025.

Not the tag.

He’s had a couple impressive grabs.

That int ball that was to him, I’d like to see him attack the ball more on those throws…but this was a huge step in the right direction.
