He did miss one in the 13 seconds game against Buffalo, which is partially why they were down 3 points at the end. But he made up for it by drilling the kick at the very end to push the game into overtime.

He might have missed other FGs as well in the playoffs. He just hasn’t missed a “must make” one.

In the list of questions I have for someone on the Chiefs asking their political and religious beliefs is question number 4,232 just below "what is your favorite spice to use for cooking" and just above "what is your favorite color". |

Is giving a Center a big money deal a smart move from an over-all team perspective? Do you need an All-Pro Center in this offense?
I did a quick search...2 of the top 10 were 1st rounders and 2 were second rounders....Kelce was a 6th rounder and Linsley was a 5th...they are rated #2/3 overall...and Andrews was undrafted (6th rated) Given where the Chiefs are likely to pick every year...seems like a sweet spot to replenish the position. KC let Hudson walk...then Morse. Creed is awesome and home-grown but if they pay him, they are likely going to lose another position...which might be harder to replace. When I think of big money contracts...I think "can the team be similarly successful without them" if the answer is yes...I'd let them walk....like they did with Sneed.

They didn't let Sneed walk. They tagged and traded him.

Good moves. You keep a center of his caliber.

It's just team politics. If these guys go out there and just ball out game it, game out and you still walk away from them, it sends a kinda poor message to the rest of the young players on the squad. It makes everything very transactional. "I'm here playing for my next contract with someone else..." isn't gonna get you the same level of buy in. Now you don't have to go all Cowboys with it and sign EVERYONE to new deals. But you do need to give a few guys market deals. You want to show the rest of the squad that the hard work will pay off for them. They'll do it with McDuffie. Probably Karlaftis. Probably Creed and almost certainly Butker. You're essentially picking one dude from each 'room' and paying him. One staking horse to sit in those meetings with the rest of the OL or DBs or DLs and say "Keep it up man - you see how it went for me..." I think that matters. If you let Creed AND Smith walk, that's a pretty bad look. And if Creed costs $7 million/season less than Smith...well doesn't it make more sense to keep Creed? |

My post wasn't a knock on Creed at all...it was more about the position he plays and how vital it is to overall team success. This is strictly from a cap management perspective...Rice is on the same contract trajectory as McDuffie/Karlaftis....which is 3 seasons out. He looks (to me) like he's going to become a great WR.

As long as it's stacked that way, they should be fine. |
