All this talk about "leaders not showing up" blah blah blah it's just window dressing. The truth is the man feels entitled to a starting position. The only reason he brought up the fact that "leaders" didn't show up was to illustrate the point that HE showed up, therefore HE is putting in more effort, therefore more deserving. It's not about anything other than that. Everything said around that subject is nothing more than him pleading his case as to why HE thinks he should be starting. |

Sounds like Hali thinks since KC chose not play him against the Steelers, they are using it as leverage for a salary reduction. He brings up 58 snaps in week one against the 7 in the divisional round. Only money issues would lead him to make these thoughts public...IMO. It's out of character enough for people to think his account was hacked..
He has $8 million reason, right now, to be content and happy...unless. Go back and re-read his tweets from that perspective. |

If the Chiefs cut him, the cap charge is in excess of $8 million. They're not cutting him. |

Do you believe teams only rally around their best players? Because I can guarantee you that just because a guy might not have padded stats or the biggest contract in the room doesn't mean he can't earn a ton of respect and have a lot of influence on his teammates.

If he does have a lot of influence over teammates, throwing them under the bus on twitter isn't going to be a good thing.

I'm sick of the emotional signings the chiefs do. Especially the fans that want to win a Superbowl for player X. Who gives a shit. They are expendable resources... Use them discard them. |

I would be pissed if they tried to chew me down on a contract too...even if I didn't have to take it. |

You don't think Tom Brady or Peyton Manning ever ripped teammates on the sideline, or let alone in meetings? I seem to recall Peyton Manning going public calling out Mike Vanderjagt as just one example. I already said maybe this is not the best approach Hali could have taken, but as a respected veteran he has every right to air his feelings if he feels his concerns are not being taken serious or that certain members of the team need to buy-in more. |
