I think the situation is slightly different compared to Tyreek last year.
First off, as Tyreek has proven with all the talking hes been doing this year, he's a diva who wants all the attention to himself and wanted more touches. That's the sort of shit you just don't want on your team for an extended amount of time, especially when you're paying him top WR money.
Secondly, money. The WR market is just absolutely absurd now, and there's no way you can pay Mahomes and Tyreek top dollar without crippling the rest of your team, and Tyreek wanted the bag. He didn't care about how we were building our team and how we needed players to take home town friendly contracts to make it work.
CJ talks a lot of shit, but hes not a diva, he doesn't talk bad about his teammates or coaches, he doesn't have an Uzi in the back of his car or beating up vacuum cleaners. And I think he's smart and realizes what we're trying to do in KC and wants to win rings.
Now if he asks for max money, then yeah there's nothing you can do, you probably trade him. But I think paying him a good contract even as he gets older is a good idea.
