Not me. I wanted him gone.

The Chiefs literally offered him $6 mil less than that. They offered him 6 yr/$139 mil. I'm sure if Brown would have negotiated and said, "ok, I'll sign, but for $1 mil a year more" then they would have obliged.

I really liked Brown, but kinda found one thing annoying and it was with his reluctance to sign because of the funny money. There is always funny money at the end of contracts to increase AAV. The Chiefs though have shown that even though it's considered funny money they will pay you or rework your deal, which typically gets the player the money quicker, if the player isn't just complete trash and not hurt.

Frank Clark had huge numbers in years 3,4,5 and the team worked with him. KC could have easily dropped him last year to save money and didn't.

Chris Jones had big cap hits and KC could get out of it easily, but they won't.

I don't think we're gonna get rid of Joe Thuney and his big cap hits next year and the year after when they could easily.

The Chiefs are going to give guys good deals, but have to look out for the team if things go bad with the player. If OBJ just played the same, then he would have gotten that back end money. Dude was a complete idiot and its looking more and more likely that he really screwed himself out of big money. Dude could have been the man and gotten paid, but it looks like he overvalued himself. Idiot.

The Chiefs basically offered him the contract in OP, so what's up with circle jerk. Y'all are gonna chafe each other's dicks stroking each other off like this.

Better question would be: Who are the 61 people who don't care about the health of Patrick Mahomes?
[Reply]

Lol I guess, but the guarantees were laughably low. A 30 million signing bonus and the first two years guaranteed. That's it. Depending on how it was structured (almost assuredly the first year was incredibly low to back load a bit) you're most likely looking at roughly 50 million guaranteed out of that contract. Also had a hilariously inflated 6th year that he never would've seen. So it was effectively a 5/95 with roughly half guaranteed.

I'm guessing if he would have accepted 4 fo4 85 with 60 guaranteed, he would still be a Chief. Veach definitely got it right.

still can't believe orlando played himself :-)

veach is the GOAT

carl would have been bent over
[Reply]

Gonna be interesting to see what he ends up getting.
[Reply]

Yep. And a bad agent would have known this back in November after calling around the league. Objs agent is like leagues worse than a bad agent right now. Wtf has he been doing the past full year?
[Reply]

Way off... The 61 cared a great deal about the health of Patrick Mahomes. That's why we did not want to pay OBJ what he was asking. We knew an upgrade could be had for less. Apparently, Veach agreed :-)

Well...,

It is the off-season...

And I tried to avoid getting caught up in the either/or Brown love/hate.

But any time somebody says you have to keep player X...

Because he is just too important or too hard to replace...

There is only one player that applies to.

Kelce has been criminally underpaid, so there's really no worries there at least yet. But that is his choice to take team friendly deals and TE being underpaid probably in general...

Watching that Wilford Brimley commercial about Diabeetus.
[Reply]

Schefter said you better get your money on the first day of free agency or the price starts going down over time. Gonna be hilarious if Orlando ends up with less money than the Chiefs offered him. What a dipshit.
[Reply]

now imagine him playing RT for KC at an even lower cost
[Reply]

I don't see it happening. His pride won't let him stay in Kansas City as a Right Tackle at this point. I think he ends up in another town, probably a very bad team.
