To extend Tyrann or not to...
Tyrann posted something interesting today...
https://twitter.com/mathieu_era/stat...154661892?s=21 Tyrann You cannot show me that I’m an option, I’ll show you I have others... ... Sorry, not sure how to embed from iPhone. ... That tweet can mean many things, but it could be correlated to his contract negotiations for an extension in KC that Veach has mentioned is a priority this offseason. It could be related to a relationship, family member, bowling league or wing eating contest. It’s plausible that the tweet is a public response to the team not wanting to pay a massive AAV to re-sign Tyrann and using other free agent and draft options as reasons they don’t NEED to re-sign him (this is business, nothing more) to try to drive down the price. Let’s talk about it... Some pros of extending his contract: Clears a nice chunk of cap space this offseason. Keeps a leader in the locker room as well as in the secondary. Continues to provide the defense with a guy that consistently takes the ball away. Some cons to an extension for Tyrann: Once he loses a step, he’s not going to be nearly as effective at his size, he’s already not a burner. He will still be good due to prep snd instincts, but will be beaten more once he loses a step. Any extension would start after he turns 30. He’s currently signed through age 29 this year. Judging from his last contract negotiation with us, he wants top of the market money. Most likely a 3 year extension. Something close to 3/48. If structured right, I’d extend him for 3 years...even at that price. The structure would need to give the team options if he falls off. |

Although I agree, honey Badger is one of the coolest nicknames ever.

How many Chiefs fans actually know Mathieu wants to be known as The Landlord? And how many of those Chiefs fans still call him Honey Badger? More to the point, when the Chiefs play on national TV, do you think those guys are more apt to call him Honey Badger or Landlord? Sometimes nicknames are bestowed upon you. You either accept them as an honor or you get pissy about it. I don't get this "rebrand" mid-career crisis that Mathieu is trying to pull, but it really hasn't taken off. The only people who call him Landlord are direct Chiefs media people like Mitch Holthus because it's not sticking. |

I suppose he could go full Metta World Peace and legally change his name to Tyrann Landlord. That would probably do the trick.

Remember when Mahomes first lit up the league? People were like… “shit we need a nickname for him!”
Mahomes and his publicity team used what his dad called him, which is “Showtime.” So one of those first prime time games the announcers were pushing the Showtime thing pretty hard, and it just didn’t take that well. And that was that. Rich Eisen’s “The Patural” has more sticking power these days. Matthieu needs to acknowledge at this point that Landlord isn’t taking. Time to put it away |

It's called an exaggeration. I was being poetically obtuse.
The Patural doesn't have sticking power. But neither does Landlord. |

Personally, I don't really care about nicknames too much. If he wants to be called The Landlord go for it. I like that he plays for the KC Chiefs and hate the thought of this defense without him. I don't want to overpay into a situation where he gets old and unproductive but we can't afford to let him go. I do like to just post HB or Honey Badger as I struggle with his first name spelling. If we overpay for to many years id hate to refer to him as the slumlord because we cant afford any players other than trash. Glad I don't have to make the decision because this defense will decline without him.

His Extention will be announced in the week leading up to training camp. Maybe even the day before. They want the signing to give energy to the team going into camp.

Just now on ESPN, Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) reports regarding an extension for Tyrann Mathieu that the Chiefs have reached out to Mathieu's reps and said he is a priority and it's not a "slam dunk" they can get a deal done but they would like to get a deal done.
Fowler did say there was "optimism on both sides." -Per Harold Kuntz
