It happens plenty he's not an unrestricted free agent, so the agents have a good idea of salary ranges esp. now that they don't have to worry about top draft picks going really high at the same position that would throw off the relative highest paid vets pay rankings. Plus, often times the teams will sweeten the pot for incentives and guaranteed money because they can more easily work the contract to favor their cap situation.

Chiefs would be smart to look at getting a dialogue with his agent going right about mid season so they can hopefully hammer things out in the final weeks before the season ends or just right after it.
