R!

hopefully this means we're trying not to give cassel 2.0 a 20 mill a year contract

Why do that when you can get quality talent in the later rounds?

so the question of if we take a WR or OL with our only pick in the first 2 rounds might be invalid. Ugh...this cant be good :-/

Hooray?

I don't want to come off as cheering for myself, but our high school chant was M-E-P-O, GO MEPO GO!!! Reminded me of it.

So why is Smiff not wanting to negotiate? Gonna be a costly pickup if he bolts at the end of his contract

He wants to pick up his last big payday. Considering that his arrival stabilized the position for the Chiefs and completely turned their fortunes around, he obviously has that information going to the negotiating table. Chiefs don't have much cap space to work with, so this could end up as a colossal fail by John Dorsey. Trading 2 second rounders to get him, only to have him leave after his second season would be a castastrophic blow to Dorsey's decisions regarding Alex Smith.


The Chiefs need to prepare for the future at some point, but if Smith dragging his heels costs him a shot at another weapon on offense in exchange for his possible replacement, that's all on him and his agent. Tough schedule coming up this season, and the Draft is in 3 days.
