Nuts. He could be replaced with any number of FA's or draft picks.

 

Must pay Gilmore or TT now or the price will be insane next year.

 

Pretty good point - every contract seems unbelievable until you see the next one.

chiefs say they think his best years are ahead of him.

They should hope that's the case

Well, I hope the same is true for Tyrod. But I'm not for throwing him $25 mil/year. Go Chiefs! I love when other teams do silly things.

That's where I am on TT. KC just screwed the pooch with Fisher. They just paid a serviceable LT elite LT money. No need to try to emulate them. Heck, I don't even know if that's possible at this point. The Bills would have to watch Taylor suck out loud this season and then give him $25M a year with $60M guaranteed for that to be the case.

It's one thing to blow a top 5 pick on an O-lineman. It's another level of stupid to pay one this kind of money. Based on his position, even i he was above average, there will never ever be value there.

 

Man, how hard is it to be an NFL GM? three rules: 1. pick a good QB, 2. pick a good HC, 3. sit back and don't do anything stupid--your work is done.
