One hold up was others being extended and to see what their contracts were. With those done, it should have been a formality. CJs agents seem to want the moon though. I mean if they knew they were going to go after 30 plus mil a year, they should have said it from the beginning. This way a trade before the draft or at least the chance to sign something beforehand would have happened. I think they saw the one guy get extended for just 24 mil per year and it hurt their chances of asking a higher number. Now they want to use any leverage they can to try for the 30 and are seeing what is happening now. 28 mil is where I believe the Chiefs are at.
I think if the Chiefs guarantee comes in at a great price it will get done no matter what the AAV. Hell, give him 30 per and knock down the guarantees. I mean a cutable year would be a plus for us. CJ just wants his cake and eat it too it seems. I rather get less AAV, but more guaranteed money to me that is what matters the most.
