So again, how is saying that he was paid $19M this year dishonest?

Cap cost per year, and what that player does to earn it is all that matters.
You must be really stupid, if you can't process what I am saying here.
4.6 mil cap cost for Alex in 2014.
15.5 mil cap cost for Alex in 2015.
Obsessing about the money handed under the table is lame. Every big contract is going to have guaranteed dollars that have to be regarded in later years... but that is for later years. As of now, dude earned his 4.6, and any other monies earned is not affecting the Chiefs.
The time to bitch is in the future years, IF he is no longer worth what he costs against the KC cap.
