I absolutely believed KC should have given Houston the big deal he received. He was only 26 with no real injury history and was the best all-around 3-4 OLB in the NFL. You give that contract to that level of player every single time expecting he will continue that for at least the next 5 seasons.
The contracts I didn't agree with were DJ, Hali, and Berry. DJ was losing a step when he got his last contract extension. Hali lost a step before he got his. Berry was more of a money issue after the previous two dipshit moves than it was anything. However, he had already missed significant portions of 2 seasons and he received a contract as the best safety in the league while several other safeties in the league were outplaying him. I get his leadership, but he's now missed 3 seasons of his 7.
There's a fine line between paying for what a guy has done and what he will do in the future. I'd rather the Chiefs pay back-ended deals to guys with potential that they can get out of than to hand older players their final paydays.
