He gets to Detroit, they want him. They tell him they'll give him 5 years for $25 million with $11 million guaranteed. They also tell him that if he leaves town for other visits the deal is off the table. Take it or leave it. He will take it every time. Thus, KC was interested but never got a chance.

Unfortunately that's not how it works. I have a buddy who is an agent in the NFL, and has told me numerous times that he and his players know before the visit what teams are willing to pay. There isn't a team in the league that says, "here's your offer, take it or leave it."
