He will play for the Chiefs if the Chiefs want him to do so at $20M as we have a contract option. But if he wins a SB, driving force or not, he becomes something we can sell for an asset in the form of another player we want or a draft pick, or several, plus we open up $20M in salary cap. I do not see the 17%+QB cost as something we can maintain in KC.
