I don't think he has anything to worry about. He's a 24 year old with an MVP and Super Bowl championship under his belt. If the Chiefs don't/can't pay him $35-40 mil a year, some other team will. Regardless, he's going to get paid.

Plenty of threads on this topic

They act like Ballard gave him a 6 year deal with a huge cap hit. It's a 1 year deal. If it works out, great. If it doesn't, both sides move on. In my opinion, it's low risk, high reward

The same way a guy can play at an elite level and not get a Pro Bowl nod, like Darius Leonard in 2018. The Pro Bowl is more just a popularity contest based on name recognition. I like to use All Pro nods as the more reliable indicator of a guy's play. Aaron Rodgers made the Pro Bowl last year even though his numbers were nothing special (barely hit 4000 yards, didn't hit 30 TDs).

Pro Bowl nods don't real mean anything anymore, so I wouldn't really use that as a basis of how well a player is playing. As for Rhodes, this is just a 1 year deal. If he comes in and is awful, we don't re-sign him next year and we move on. At the very least, he's a veteran with plenty of success, so he can mentor guys like Rock Ya-Sin and Marvell Tell. Yes, he was awful last year. But he'll be 30 when the season starts, so still plenty of football left in him and plenty of opportunity for him to regain form

The Eagles would give up a 3rd round pick and a starting receiver only to pick up later round picks? It's usually picks + player for earlier picks, not later.

Already a thread on this

I think it's the coronavirus holding things up. I believe that was the issue with Brady and the Bucs as well. Physicals are required for nearly every contract, and teams like to conduct those with their own doctors, but with travel restrictions and all that, it makes things more difficult. This was a topic on the Pat McAfee Show the other day.

I agree. I think he's better than his reputation, especially on here. A healthy Cam utilized properly by coaches is still a dangerous weapon, in my opinion. I think teams are just waiting for the dust to settle, so to speak. The first dominoes have fallen (Rivers, Brady, Brees, etc.), so now it's time for teams to re-organize their priorities and time for that second tier of QBs to find a home, like Dalton, Cam, and Jameis. Another factor as to why he doesn't have a team yet is probably because there are so many available options and not that many jobs.

If they wanna pinch pennies, 4 years/$118 mil/$62 mil guaranteed to Tannehill was insane. He played well for them, but almost $30 mil a year for a guy who doesn't even average 250 yards a game? I'm also not a cap expert, but I imagine they could have restructured Casey's deal to save some cap money. And if all that fails, they could still have gotten much better than a 7th round pick for him.

I understand his cap hit is a little high, but he's 30 years old and can still play. And after the run they had in the playoffs, I'd imagine the Titans are in win-now mode, so getting rid of him doesn't fit in with that. On top of it all, they only got a 7th rounder back for him. Crazy

A healthy Newton in Chicago could be really fun to watch.

I think he'd be a great fit in Chicago. They don't need an MVP level QB. They need someone who won't turn the ball over and won't cost them games while the defense suffocates opponents. Same goes for Minny.

Buckner is 26. That was hardly a win-now move. I think it was more about adding great talent to the team
