Negotiating with the #1 pick.
 

I don't pay attention to the #1 pick very much since I was 2 months old the last time we had one.

So if you're the Chiefs, are you negotiating with the #1 pick now? Are you negotiating with 2 or 3 guys? Are you negotiating with one guy and telling him that you're negotiating with 2 or 3 to get more leverage?

It seems like the #1 pick has a bit of a disadvantage if negotiations start early, because if he's unreasonable then the team can just say, "Screw you. We're taking that other offensive lineman instead." There's no other pick where the negotiations can be taken off the table, and in all other picks the inherent advantage goes to the player since the team can't withdraw the pick.

So what's the deal? Do teams play the field on the #1 pick, or do they just go after their guy?

And I guess this assumes that there's no clear #1 pick.

We've had the #1 before?

Buck Buchanan. But times were a little different then. We probably just stashed him in a hotel room and gave him a six-pack and a convertible.

who is to know?

Let's hope this team doesn't use high picks like the previous clowns

This title mislead me.


I'm back to be being disappointed

Ohhh, right, right....

Basically, the Chiefs put the pick up for sale.

A few teams come calling with offers, the ones the Chiefs are interested in doing business with are contacted and everything becomes a test to see if the two sides have a chance at agreeing.

It's basically like trying to fill a job vacancy.

Oh. My bad. That was an unintentionally misleading thread title.

There really isn't much need to negotiate anymore with the new CBA.

This.

No apology needed.


Good news coming from the Chiefs is far fetched anyways. Have a good day sir.

I can't believe that the NFL wouldn't want the news of our pick to remain secret for maximum interest for their prime time broadcast Thursday night...

I remember when teams could negotiate with a player when the team was on the clock.

The result? The Chiefs discovered that Trezelle Jenkins would sign for a huge discount (surprise!) at the Chiefs pick because he realized nobody else would touch him that high in the draft. That worked out well for us...

Which, when you think about it, makes our pick worth MORE...

Yep, can't remember who but someone tweeted earlier today that reps from Joeckel and Fisher said Chiefs had not contacted them yet but that was not uncommon in today's NFL.

Or maybe we just aren't drafting them :)

For a song & a shitload of phillys from Pat's, they can have the ****er

It certainly should, and has for everyone else. But now, since the Chiefs have the pick, that is all out the window.

If we use this #1 on another HOFer, all is forgiven.Don't hold your breath.

The final chapter in the draft process for Leon Sandcastle. amiright?

Kansas City <<< Green Bay <<<< New York / Dallas

Per source, the #Chiefs have begun contract discussions with Texas A&M OT Luke Joeckel.

@CHardySports

That isn't a ****ing source. That's some douchebag in Wichita making shit up. "Aspiring NFL reporter and fantasy sports columnist". Give me a ****ing break.

The stern voice of reason. LMAO

It's Zobel 2.0!!!! Runnnnnnnnnn

Seems to me publishing this before trading Albert kind of screws us on negotiating with Miami.

IF it's true, which it probably isn't.

Thats why I have doubts that even if it were true, they wouldn't be broadcasting it to media.

I imagine KC has talked with agents for all 4 players they say are left on their board.

I will make all my posts like a Christian for 24 hours if we draft Geno :) Hallelujah!!

:cuss:

Given the fact ratchet lurked in this thread without responding, I have to wonder if he is indeed the dumbass, wanna-be Schefter from Wichita...


Interdasting...very interdasting.

i took a nap. watsup?

HE SPEAKS!!

Do teams still negotiate rookie salaries? It's not sort of already figured out with the rookie scale?

That's what I was thinking too. There doesn't seem to be any advantage to talking to their agents before the draft. This seems like a BS report.

No, no, no, don't know, doubt it...:deevee:
