It was one year/postseason. Not like the guy has bee. A lifelong Chief. Plus I am not big on sentiment. Sorry.
The bottom line is it is time to move on and guy is ridiculously overpaid. [Reply]

NFL is a what have you don't for me lately league. You can appreciate what someone did in the past while resenting them for what they're doing lately. Especially when they're getting paid $25+ mil to do it. [Reply]

Now is NOT the time to move.
Next offseason is the time to move on. And they will.
In the mean time, he has underperformed his deal in the regular season, for sure. He has been a playmaker in the postseason and was part of a culture/mindset change that was much needed. [Reply]

Right that's what I meant. After the season it is time to move on.. there is not much Chiefs can do at this point.
True w attitude change and playoff performance - the trade wasn't a total disaster. [Reply]

Agree. The only way he's a factor is if the extra motivation in a contract year leads to an uptick. Also think Jones, Danna, Reed and the others will give us more push than we had with him anyway.
Injured or not I can see his snaps reducing, maybe that helps too. Otherwise the positive is we have a big slab of money next year to share around to players that continue to perform, or FAs. [Reply]
I'm pretty high on Ward, to be honest. So is the team if they cut Taco that early. Jonesy is looking like a DPOY candidate. Danna is solid. The interior of Nnadi, Reed, Wharton, and Saunders all look like good players. Kaindoh may contribute as the season goes on, but he's pretty raw. Still the talent is there.
