Top 5 Chiefs Entering Contract Years in 2024

1. Creed Humphrey
2. Nick Bolton
3. Justin Reid
4. Trey Smith
5. Harrison Butker


They all take hometown discounts to keep winning Super Bowls and we good? We draft/ find cost effective league vets to replace them and keep winning Super Bowls? They all leave and we're doomed? Somewhere in the middle of all of that?

Those are definitely five guys that will be disappointing to see go if the business side of things dictates as much.

Any other kicker and we lose the game.

Pay him.

Re: Creed’s low snaps - earlier this offseason, Stroupe replied to a tweet or IG comment insinuating that Creed was playing with a hurt hand, hence the low snaps.

Mahomes had 3 lost fumbles all year. And I know at least two of them were strip sack fumbles. It's possible none of them were because of a bad snap, though I could be wrong.

In any case, Creed will be fine.

Same with the:13 seconds game, and the second AFCCG against the Bengals to name a few. He is absolutely clutch and a kicker that can be relied on to make the big “must have” FGs in the playoffs.

Justin Tucker is currently the highest paid kicker in the NFL at $6M per year. Would Butker expect that much more than Tucker?

Austin Reiter, the starting center before Humphrey was not very good.

Pay Butker whatever he wants. He's a future hall of famer

Think I'd sign Bolton. He helps lock down the defense and I've seen what this defense is like with shitty LBs.

Reid is either or. We've been good at replacing that position but he's a good player.

So it will be easy to move on and replace the BEST Center in the game. While it will be harder to move on from about the 15th best Guard in the game.

The only NFL center 15 has ever known? No problem.

Mahomes and Kelce were and are the highest paid at their position at signing. Brown's contract is because no one wanted him.
Either way, none of them are "hometown" discounts.

Austin Reiter wasn't great, but he won a ring in KC. I'll let you figure out who the QB was at that time.

We increased Kelce's contract without adding years; that's the complete opposite of a hometown discount.

They’ve kept that position dirt cheap this entire run and I don’t expect that to change.

Well, right now the highest-paid center is $13.5 million a year. It seems that a long-term deal could be worked out.

If Veach and company decide to move on then ok, they have earned that trust.

probably get a good comp pick in the scenario they let him walk, at least

You realize both could have demanded quite a bit more money right? Mahomes signing that 10 year deal was incredible.

It was such a steal that Florio bitched about it for over a year.

If you look at sportrac for 2025, it shows toney with a 14 million cap hit in 2025. I am talking about next year cap.
