He won’t retire because he has 62m in injury guarantees and evidently got hurt in camp.

Guessing the reason trades are not final until a player passes a physical is to prevent the above.

Not how the league works bud, especially if you want players who are good. Guys like Cam Erving have incentive based contracts if that tells you anything.

Good news is that Clark’s cap hit is only $6.5 million, but after this year he’s averaging around $23 million for the duration of his contract.

It’s okay though. This franchise will go full reerun again and pay Chris Jones and I’m sure he’ll not be anywhere near the ROI just like every big time defensive player we sign.

It’s ironic as hell that basically every player we pay big money to on defense is not worth the ROI (Tamba-last contract-,Houston, Berry, Clark etc) but on offense a lot of the guys were worth it.

Kelce
Schwartz
Tyreek (so far)
Mahomes will be well worth it

Shit i’d argue Eric Fisher is worth his contract after the hell we’ve seen without him.

And that's exactly why the Chiefs need to lock up their proven offensive stars and draft defense.

Oh, and to add to your point, the HB isnt hurt, but dude is nowhere near worth the $$$ the Chiefs shelled out for him either.

Oh, you dont have to tell me that's not how the league works, but just imagine if it did. All these guys could get a team friendly base and EARN their BIG $$$ through incentives. Kind of how the real world works...

Umm no way is this page going off the first 3 pages.

So Clark said hes been playing with a penched nerve since August. That's why hes playing a step or two slow. Dee Ford had a very similar injury in 2017. All that matters is what happens in the postseason. Seriously.

Naw, because what if they cant help the team reach the post season? Regular season performance has its place in the scheme of things.

Sure, it has its place. Peyton Manning before he won his first Super Bowl can tell you just where that place is too.

All I'm saying is we shouldn't be too hasty. There is time to patch the wounds fellas.

Not really. If you are the best at what you do you'll get paid regardless of incentives. CEOs get millions and do shit jobs all the time.

Clark is about to bust out. Minimum 2 sacks Sunday against ancient Rivers and his backup OTs.

Now would be a good time.

And all I'm saying is if you don't play well enough during the season to qualify for the playoffs, you don't make them.

It's all on him. Admitting that you're "playing timid" isn't a good look and you're not setting yourself up for much understanding should you fail.
