Spotrac also has him at UFA after this season.
I don't know why that
wouldn't be the case. He was a waiver claim, yes? So they'd get him with his entry level deal. As a 4th round pick in 2012, 2015 would seem to be his last year under that contract.
They have some dry powder if they want to keep him but they need to do it sooner rather than later, IMO. The closer he gets to FA, the more likely he is to want to test it. Every game he plays healthy will be one more hurdle he clears and if he plays well at all, the price will only go up.
Like SNR said, there's probably not a deal that makes sense for both sides here. If I'm him, I'd want a fair amount to give up free agency. And if I'm the Chiefs, I've not seen enough to give him that.
It's probably best to just let him play his ass off in his FA season and then see what the market holds. I just don't see a good point of intersection for the two parties here.
