Veach trying to keep Trey Smith

[RunKC]

Have said many times that I feared this would happen

"Kansas City is making it a priority to try to keep Trey Smith.

... long term deal. Making every effort."@DMRussini https://t.co/webgjLp2Sq

You’re thinking small potatoes. Yeah, to us, $23m would be insane, but a guy like Trey has the opportunity to gain a much larger amount over the next 5-7 years. Landon Dickerson just got $50m guaranteed. If Trey hit the open market, he would probably get between $60-70m given the dearth of quality interior linemen.

No he doesn't.

I mean he'll get a game check in/around September and that game check will be in the $1.5 million range. So yeah, there are worse places to be.

But he could probably put $30 million in his pocket (and very probably more) tomorrow if he'd sign an extension. And THAT'S the motivation.

What kind of showing is worrisome? The way he is acting (or whatever) or his play on the field year?

Id bet he's talking about that Smith's play on the field dipped during his contract year.
