I wonder what happens to his franchise tag if there's no season? Does it just carry over to the next year?
Because it sure looks like they're all going to be sitting out. We're going in the exact wrong direction right now. Supposedly MLB was going to cancel the season today but I guess it didn't happen. |

It’s a tough situation made worse by Covid revenue uncertainty.
I can’t really blame him but I seriously doubt he walks on $16m. I don’t see any reason why he’d go to training camp though |

I can't hate on the guy. Showed up in the Super Bowl and was a big part of why we won. I don't think we have anywhere near the cap room, though. Nothing can be allowed to jeopardize our ability to sign Mahomes. Nothing.

All of this. Would love to keep him but don't see how it's possible.

If he wants to be that greedy . **** him. I have no sympathy for anybody that will bitch about making more money in one year than I'll make in my lifetime. **** him and trade him to the Bengals and let him rot.

4 Million. That’s a Lot to leave on the table. It’s all relative.

Do it in increments he understands. Imagine you've got to stroke 20 hogs off but you only get to keep the juice from 16. Still feel like jacking those last four?

Sure is if you're a greedy mother ****er! Be a team player and make 120 million over the next ten years. Think you can feed your great, great, great, great grandkids on that???

Based on his current decision making he won’t have any money for own kids. Bell lost so much money that he will never ever be able to recoup. |

I think the league should get rid of the franchise tag. Teams have to use it to not be at a disadvantage, but it causes so much bad blood. Get rid of it and its still a level playing field. RBs in particular get screwed by the tag.

I would hope Veach would learn from the previous regimes mistakes with Tamba, Justin Houston and Eric Berry. Losing Chris Jones will hurt no doubt about it, but if we want the Chiefs to be a dynasty we’ve got to be able to make the tough decisions and not let ourselves get tied down by these contracts for defensive players. Let the Jerrahs and other incompetent GM’s of the world do what bad organizations do. I love Chris Jones but we need to prepare for life without him.
