Well the Chiefs have some leverage because they could get two more years out of him with the contract and franchise tag (or double franchise but that's Bell territory and no one wants to go there).
Also every NFL player is one snap away from a career-ending injury. For Hill if he tears and ACL or achilles - his entire advantage is gone. |

I think Ford is a perfect candidate to franchise this year, and extend Hill and maybe Jones. Or let Ford go after 2019 then franchise Jones and maybe pay him if he's willing to take a cut.
I feel like Jones has really earned a contract more than Ford. And Ford is more one-dimensional. There's no answer for Jones right now. |

Kelce played good yesterday. He had a shaky start and overcame it. Made a huge play at the end of the half. Go tell the rams how slow he is. They'd slap you. |

Sure. But you've got a guy who makes NFL defensive backs look like it's Reggie Bush's high-school highlight reel. If that elite speed even is knocked down a few %, it diminishes his extreme weapon status.

Maybe he wasn't as slow as it felt like to me. I only saw the game live. I'm gonna watch the recording now for as long as I can stomach Witten/Booger/Tessitore. I might need to just mute it and listen to chill techno or something. I am just now coming down from the emotional anxiety that game caused seeing live. |

Still be faster than Steve Smith was? Unless the surgery is botched or his rehabs poorly, he'd come back fine from an ACL. The achilles, on the other hand... well, at least it's not the career ender it used to be. |

If an injury changes him from that to say the 10th fastest player in the NFL - how much does that diminish his value? I don't know. But to me it feels like a lot. Houston is still very good, complete player. But w/o a burst like he used to have, he's not really dominating any more. Just speculating so you can chill out on attacking my takes. |

Yeah agreed - he's great. He's one of the fastest players obviously. But he's also one of the quickest - which doesn't always go together. And he catches damn near everything - which I think is coachable to a degree - but also some players just have it and some don't.
And on top of that he's really worked on his moves breaking out of presses and his route running - to a point that as I said I think he's literally the most valuable non-QB in the league. If you take away the mega-elite speed - he'll still be a very good player. But maybe he isn't the most valuable non-QB anymore. Anyway - my whole point was just that these are the kinds of questions that go into a player accepting an extension vs. waiting it out 2 more years to the end of their contract and a possible franchise tag. If I get injured, will I be the same player? Should I just take the very large payday now? This is where the team has some pricing leverage/discount potential if they're offering an extension. |

Yup, I'm hoping it's just nose to the grindstone, but there is no fire, and no smile.
