Chiefs extend OT Eric Fisher (4 years, $48M; $40M guaranteed): MILLEN grade
Uhh... what the hell is this? Seriously, is this some kind of joke? Are the Chiefs trolling everyone? Or did their accountants tack on an extra zero to this contract by accident? Because Eric Fisher deserves $4 million guaranteed on his new deal; not $40 million.

I can't even begin to explain this. Fisher has been a mega bust since being the first-overall selection in the 2013 NFL Draft. Fisher was awful for two seasons and improved last year enough to be sub par at best. Without seeing the numbers and hearing that the Chiefs extended him for four years, I would've guessed that he received $10 million overall with $4 million in guarantees. And that may have been too much.

This reeks of the Chiefs failing to admit that they made a mistake. It's one thing to make an error. We're all human, after all, and no one's perfect. It gets bad, however, when people start compounding mistakes by failing to concede being wrong in the first place. That's exactly what the Chiefs are doing here, and they're getting slapped with a dreaded Millen grade as a result.
