And given the contract systems, it should be most likely to be a third-year player or second-year player, I think, because you'd want to vote a guy into free agency to take as many years of production away as possible. But in the real world, maybe that wouldn't happen because teams have such a short-term outlook. Maybe you vote off a fourth-year guy if he's the best player to get the biggest immediate advantage.

Who would the Chiefs vote into free agency for the 2017 season? Would it be Derek Carr? He's a logical choice, but he also just signed an enormous contract. Von Miller, the barroom killer? I don't know his contract structure. Or after Season 1, maybe you go for Joey Bosa, but I don't think the Chargers are enough of a threat.

Who would other teams pick? It would be tempting for them to vote for Tyreek, but he may be unproven as of yet. Maybe they'd vote Peters or Berry off of the Chiefs, but I suspect the Broncos and Chargers might vote Carr off first, just due to positional value.

But Carr isn't underpaid at all given his latest contract. In fact, voiding his contract creates some nighmare headaches under cap accounting rules.

The second he shows any talent -- Mahomes. Enjoy another 25 year search for a QB...? And how will you feel when Elway calls him up and invites him to town? Or the Texans?
