RAPOPORT: Chiefs prioritizing extending Hill and Jones this offseason, may tag Ford

[pugsnotdrugs19]

From @gmfb Weekend: Among the #Chiefs key offseason priorities are locking up star WR Tyreek Hill and DE Chris Jones... Meanwhile, the franchise tag is very much on the table for pass-rusher Dee Ford. pic.twitter.com/hm0j0PlS7k

Hope this is all true, it makes a ton of sense. Sounds like Ford will likely be tagged, as Rapoport says they would like to keep him somehow.

I don't think his dad was that rich either. He wasn't a superstar in MLB and he played in a time period before the money really got out of control in sports.

He'd be an idiot to take a big discount. He'll get paid big time. I'm just saying he's not necessarily going to go to the highest bidder. I don't think he's the type of guy driven purely by money and ego. Fit will be a huge part in his decision and KC has a gigantic advantage there.

We've had a lot of good teams. This is by a mile the closest I've ever seen this team. They'd run through brick walls for each other. That has to play some part in all this. Think of all the players who took massive discounts for the chance to play with Brady and Manning.

You'd figure he'd want to wait until after the work stoppage to see what happens, but 200 million is 200 million.

I like the idea posted on here regarding salary cap percentage. This protects him over time from the Aaron Rodgers scenario where you end up 10th highest paid in the league with a bunch of scrubs ahead of you. Ask for 16.5 to 17% of the salary cap each year. 16.5% on a $200m salary cap is $33m.

If it was me, I think I would like to resign for the Super Bowl Champions as well.

After actually reading the article it's just guesswork by league executives. Meh.

Erving, Reiter, Wylie, Ward, Lucas. Gonna have to be good at finding these guys once Pat gets paid.

The idea that Pat would (or should) take anything less than he can earn on his first mega-deal is absurd and not even remotely based in reality. That's just unprecedented for a guy in his position. Now, after he's earned 100s of millions, and played at an MVP level for 5-6-7 years total, I'm 100% sure he'd take less in his 2nd mega-deal to help the cap situation.

They’ve done it so far, I’d suspect it will continue.

And a nice set of picks this year will hopefully go a long ways as well.

Do you think mahomes is the type of player who would immediately jump to the Cardinals or to the Jets or the Bengals? I would bet he has a short list of teams he'd consider. In kc he has a hall of fame coach, a city he's comfortable with, teammates he's very close with, and loyal fans. He doesn't strike me as a guy who's going to jump at a bigger offer if he doesn't feel comfortable with those things. There's a reason Brady never left belichick. And why Peyton refused to even negotiate with all but a select few teams. Or why elis dad boycotted San Diego. I'd bet pat picks a few select teams and kc has to be competitive with those bids. Which will still be a lot. But it may not necessarily be his market value.

I was about to post pretty much the same thing. You take all the money you can get on that first deal and run.

Yep. I think this is where it will go but a caveat will be performance and that certain stats, divisional and conference titles will have to be achieved with the SBs as BIG bonus $$$
