This isn't debateable and isn't a ****ing argument, it's stating facts. I don't want the Chiefs to overpay for past performance on a 30 year old guy. I hope Jones means what he said at the parade and will take a hometeam discount like Kelce and Mahomes have done, if not oh well, that's his decision. I just don't want my team making deals that could blow up our window. |
When Patrick signed his deal it was the biggest contract in NFL history. Then before last season he restructured his contract so that he would have the highest cap hit in the league.
And when Kelce signed he was the highest paid TE in history until Kittle signed his deal later on that day. Saying he took a "hometown discount" is revisionist rose colored glasses history. We only say he's underpaid in relation to WRs but even now 4 years after signing his deal he's still the 4th highest paid TE in the league.
