Can I take “Always” for 800 Alex….

It's pretty clear him opting out didn't have any effect on their future plans for him. He was the starter last year and they haven't done anything to upgrade the position so they obviously are expecting him to take over the role long term.

The guy just needs to stay on the field. I keep forgetting about that opt out year which is actually going to work in our favor, because he has an extra year on his contract. He's still under team control for 2 more years after this season.

He's going to be the starter next year for sure, and hopefully by playoff time this year so we don't have to watch Wylie get abused again when it counts.

Is he? I don't think I've ever watched him play.

I'm pulling for this kid. When he's healthy, he can make a big difference for this team.

Absolutely.

At this point, I don't understand anyone still giving two shits about his opting out. Nobody has any clue about his reasonings for doing so, and quite honestly, it's nobody's business. He made the choice, it happened two years ago, and it's done with.

Imagine though you finally get your dream job. Its the 1st day and wouldn't you wanna show everyone how good of a worker you are and how you can be an asset...but then you tell them you dont wanna work because of the current conditions...yet every single new hire is out there busting their ass.

He's a "good player" based on what evidence?

He was mediocre at best last year before his broke dick fat ass got injured.

I guess it wasn't entirely untrue. Niang had hip surgery toward the end of his last year in college. He had played through the injury for awhile but the pain got to be too much. So, if he had not opted out of his rookie year, the question would have been how long until he was ready to play. And the Chiefs were planning to play him a guard. If he can stay healthy and become a solid RT then this was probably the best thing for the Chiefs, IMO.

Meh, I don't hold that against him. It was a new pandemic and none of us really knew how it was going to go. I think we were all scared when it first started.

Broke dick

This. He wasn't going to be ready for most of his rookie year.

Also a not-good data point that the guy is just a brokedick.

I wonder how much of it was mutual. I imagine the chiefs were more than happy because they may have put him on IR anyway. It ended up hurting us because we had a bizarre run of losing OL. But I suspect a big part of it was because he ideally needed another year to heal.

I think it was mentioned though that it was a mutual decision between him and the Chiefs because he wasn't going to be healthy enough to play in 2020 which is why he fell to the 3rd round.

Either way, I just want the guy to end up being a good RT because I hate Andrew Wylie and fear he will someday get Mahomes killed.
