Tyrann Mathieu: Chiefs fanbase “might be one of the most toxic in all of sports”

[Jerm]

Not a reputation you want to have with one of the most respected and vocal players in the league. https://t.co/4cqkrnxTUI

Not really.

"want" and "will" aren't the same

I'm sure they do want him back. That doesn't mean it will happen, considering his age and contract demands.


Clark Hunt says Chiefs want Tyrann Mathieu back for 2022

Kansas City will have to make key decisions on both Mathieu and left tackle Orlando Brown Jr.
By Pete Sweeney@pgsween Nov 18, 2021, 11:45am CST

The Kansas City Chiefs' regular season is 10 weeks old — about the same amount of time it's been since any mention of safety Tyrann Mathieu's ongoing contract discussions. Mathieu is currently playing in the final year of his three-year contract.

Many felt that a new long-term deal for Mathieu would come before the season began (including Mathieu himself), but the two sides did not come to an agreement.

Despite that fact, Chiefs owner, chairman and CEO Clark Hunt says the franchise still fully intends to have him back for 2022 and beyond.

"Those plans haven't changed at all," said Hunt on Thursday during his midseason update with reporters. "It was something that we discussed with Tyrann and his representative in the offseason before we started playing regular-season games — but really, once we got into the season, it's really best for both parties to wait until the end of the year, and we would obviously love to have Tyrann back, not only for his play on the field but his leadership as well."

That prospect became a bit more complicated when the Chiefs decided to trade for left tackle Orlando Brown, who is 25 and on the final year of his rookie contract. The likely scenario is that one player is signed long-term while the other — likely Brown — is franchise-tagged, delaying conversations for another year.

"We've been delighted to have Orlando part of the organization," said Hunt. "He and his offensive line teammates have done a great job of really rebuilding what was a weakness for us at the end of last year. So we're very happy and glad about that decision. At this point, you really put contract issues on the back burner. Those will be things that will be taken care of in the offseason."

It's preferable to go year-to-year with Tyran at this stage on his career. Not sure he'd take that.

This thread went 9 days dropping down the thread list and it gets bumped over something not worth the bad feelings the title of the thread causes. I will just use the ignore thread feature. Maybe this thread could go to Romper Room and people that want to keep up with Tyrann’s social media can have a ball without making the main page look bad.

Someone is triggered. A lot of people are triggered right now, though. It'll be ok.

I think its pretty cool that Tyrann has noticed and defended him.

Stop reading so much into his comments and let the man be who he is.

I hope we sign him to an extension and he retires a Chief, eventually. After a few more Superbowls!!

Bill the cheat B has the Pats looking at the playoffs not McCorkle 'The System" Jones.

Right.

It's also strange he mentions Pat's Jones who is from pretty much from a rival team and not Mahomes.. Mahomes just had a great game when plenty of people, including many on this board, doubting him. Why not mention your teammate instead?

Not a chance in hell of that happening.

We cant keep everyone. Clark being cut money goes to Mahomes. We don't have a bunch of money laying around. Hill's contract is looming.

Hard choices are going to have to be made. We are going to lose players we don't want to lose starting next year because even Veach cant use smoke and mirrors to keep everyone.

A. He’s allowed to mention whichever player he wants to.
B. NFL players talk each other up all the time.

This shit isn’t bad at all and the people who think it is are ****ing morons.

Agreed, this just doesn't move the needle for me

Much ado about nothing

Typically it only happens when there is some kind of connection between the players though, or they are flat out asked about the player they are talking up.

I'm not bothered by what he said, it just feels weird to me.

Regardless, none of it changes how I feel about him being on the team beyond this season for the amount of money he appears to be looking for. And... Mac Jones sucks.

It cracks me up that we have a bunch of hard asses that talk shit on every player when they **** up. But if a player tweets an opinion on the fans or about another player, it's pearl clutching time.

That's true it's not a big deal at all. Just a little weird.

Then again, I shouldn't expect much different from a player who tweets like a sensitive teenage girl half the time.

Mrs. Mathieu is so triggered she is still down voting posts 2 days after "ignoring the thread."



Oh ya... Bump.

[Pointer19]

I wonder if you could leverage players' personalities with things like this. For example, make fake Twitter accounts, pose as a fan of Rival X, and shit talk Player Y until they explode on the fanbase and move to another team.

Mahomes isn't going to get any more money than they have already accounted for. Spotrac says the cap should be $208 million, that leaves the Chiefs 32 mil under with only 26 players signed. That's a tough spot but if they cut Clark and Hitchens they can add quite a bit more (albeit with 16 mil in dead cap also). If they can restructure those guys they can make a lot more room without the dead money. They'll get HB done, they just won't make any other big moves.
