He plays when he wanted to play. He's been like that since college and probably before.

I’m not saying I would have offered him a max contract. But there was absolutely no reason to trade him on his rookie contract. I believe the Chiefs had the leverage in this situation and they caved because the owner didn’t want the headache.

Marcus could have either played with max effort or hurt his market value by playing half assed.
