Chiefs signing Sneed long-term would be pretty surprising with how they operate.
I agree with that. Being on a contender like the Chiefs makes a difference in negotiating. My earlier post was in regard to the Cards being unable to entice trade suitors because DHop refused to budge on his existing deal. It was more of an indictment on how poorly the Cards have been managed than DHop. I think he still wants to be paid but would take a shorter deal for a little less if he has a chance at a ring. He can see the Cards are never winning shit with Murray.
So when the news breaks yesterday of course my group texts with all my friends who are also Eagles guys were all excited. My response was relax. He’s going to be a Chief. I think they restructure some guys to free up like 9-10 million in cap and he signs for a one year with the idea that he would resign if it works. It makes too much sense. The Chiefs have an elite QB, an elite TE, and a WR corp with guys who are still establishing themselves with unique talents in some areas but not complete WRs yet. Bringing in a dude like DHop that can make catches in traffic and can be counted on to make plays makes a ton of sense. It’s essentially a better version of what you guys wanted JuJu to be.
Idiot, just like Lamar
RTK is a casual football fan with an excellent football card collection.
Both teams could structure contracts to make it work. Bills could do it easier than the Chiefs given they are unwilling to redo Mahomes contract until '24 or '25 per them. Chris Jones' contract happens to be the best DT not named since Aaron Donald, so just saying "extend him and push the cap hit later" doesn't really work.
You're not wrong and it annoys me, tbh.
Yeah, a list of secondary players that have left the Chiefs would probably have to be set to Soul Asylum's 'Runaway Train'
It does beg the question: how many contenders have the money right now?
This feels like the Chiefs justifying to their fans why he's not coming to KC (most likely) as opposed to reality. That Donovan Smith contract ain't shit, and they know that.
Not that many. But the Bills do have some relatively easy restructures they could feasibly do. They have a lot of motive to opt for a short term move like this to get over the hump.
I'd argue it's not what they need the most. Also, who voluntarily picks to play in the north during winter?
I don't think the Chiefs after winning the SuperBowl feel the need to justify how they do business because they seem to know what they are doing. I think it's a sales pitch to Hopkins to put a championship ahead of money.
