I don't know if anybody has said this or not, but everything I'm reading looks like you all seem to think the Chiefs simply said, oh, if we can get to 8-8 that would be awesome! That would be well worth the 2 2's. That's not the way negotiations work.
You gotta remember this team was 2-14 last year. That's only 14%. If they improve to 8-8 that takes them to 50% which is a 36% increase in winning percentage over the previous year.
You better believe they were throwing those numbers at the Chiefs and using it to their advantage. I highly doubt the Dorsey/Reid/Hunt are simply striving for 8-8.
They paid what they had to for the player they targeted and feel can take them well beyond 8-8.
