It's difficult for me to believe teams will pay $10+ million for a center in a year in which the salary cap has been reduced by 8%.
Most teams are going to have major difficulty keep their best and highest paid players, so if there's an ever been a year in which talented guys want a job, the market will be flooded with guys that can step in and start Week 1 without issue.
Also, I think the numbers thrown around for Reiter are speculative at best and way off at worst.
I don't think there will be much of a market out there for a 30 year center, who's never made a Pro Bowl, let alone the All Pro list, asking in excess of $10 million per but I guess stranger things have happened.
While I think it would be nice to keep him, I just hope the Chiefs don't make Reiter their second highest paid offensive lineman.
