I have said in the recent past that Alex11 has been given a set of objectives to master in able to play better football which I am sure means making the long passes ands threading the needle. Either alex11 will put 110% in and make the plays he used to scrub or we have someone who can. from everything we have heard he is doing great work. If he doesn't up his game then he will be let go by the Chiefs as soon playoffs begin and probably not have much value (certainly not $17 to $20M a year post Chiefs) to another team for his last few years.
He now is in a special place where he has been before (well not exactly). He hopefully takes control and gives 110% to the challenges the coaches have given him. If not it's 1 year contracts and new teams every year. He has a lot of reasons to play hard and find ways to win this year so he can either stay with the Chiefs (NADA) or get a nice multi year contract with some guaranteed income.
The Chiefs could offer him a contract for 2018 depending on if he wins the AFC or better yet the SB but most likely he will be traded for salary cap reductions and draft picks. He knows it and I think you will see the best effort from Alex11 we have ever seen this season. He is highly motivated as a great season is his best bet for gainful employment after this season in the NFL.
