Easier said than done. They need some better luck compared to how it has gone for them ever since the Eric Fisher injury. It would be nice if Kingsley can turn into a solid LT for them.

Has nothing to do with luck. They had the position solved with Brown but got chintzy. Wouldn't give him enough guaranteed money. Thought they could go discount best-price with band aid's and projects. Fools.

When I say luck, I would include negotiating luck such as the Orlando negotiation. Trent Williams used the Chiefs as negotiating leverage to squeeze more money out of the Niners. I don't think Trent was ever truly serious about signing with KC.

Looking back, that's a funny move by Trent Williams. The Chiefs have won 2 rings without Trent and they might have won even more than that if he was their LT from 2021 to now. And Trent is stuck with zero rings on an underachieving team with a loaded roster featuring Void Year contracts out the wazoo. Eat shit, Mr. Williams.

Orlando's gone on record claiming they were close and that he was ready to sign but they wouldn't budge on the guaranteed money. Which I believe. Front office had a tremendous draft that year and they were probably convinced they could outsmart the system and find a rookie LT in the later rounds like the Patriots. Ego.

What if he said that extra money means more to him than rings?

Not even sure he got very much extra money when you factor in the insane cost of living in San Francisco compared to Kansas City.

I think some of you guys overrate how much rings matter to some of these guys.

Williams used the Chiefs to get a ridiculous contract when he was past 30, he may like living on the west coast with the giant contract over a ring.

I'm sure thats true for many of them

The interesting thing about all of this is what we’re doing is good enough to beat 30 teams in the league and id say there’s a pretty good chance the Rams or Bucs can knock that one team it doesn’t match up with well out next year.

We don’t need major change. We need a reliable #2 CB and we need just an average LT. There are no other major issues.

It's not the dollars, it's the dollar amounts. Being the highest paid player at a position is a big deal to a lot of these guys. It's the sole reason why Tyreek is gone.
