Alex getting a Cutler contract outright prevents us from keeping all three of those players, and it likely will only allow us to keep one, if that.
Geno taking this team to 8-8 would have been the huge improvement we were looking for, and we wouldn't be in this position right now with contract negotiations.
The Chiefs can still come out of this smelling like roses if Alex doesn't take a step back this year and they manage to get him extended for the right price. If they don't, then the problem goes back to the decision to trade for him in the first place, particularly regarding the pricetag that the Niners wanted for him

Didn't Carl Peterson used to at least consider who a player's agent was prior to making a deal?
Everyone knows Condons reputation, especially with the Chiefs.
