I think many of you are missing the point. It’s not about re-signing him to a long-term deal. It was about franchising him for one year. We all know how he did the last half of the season last year and I think part of it was because he knew he was playing for a contract. Well, why not run it back and have him have to do it again? He’s obviously going to be motivated because he’d be on a prove it deal. Again, I’m not saying Price is going to be bad at all, but I can tell you if given the choice of Price or Walker just for next year, I’d much rather have Walker and so with most.
Boy, you're really on K9's jock aren't ya seabowl?
Here's your answer, take it or leave it.
Walker was injury prone, not happy sharing carries and wanted a new contract, His talent level could be debated, but safe to say not elite.
JS, MM and everyone in the building have been hitting on all cylinders and in the midst of building a dynasty. John just got us out of cap hell and has been nailing his drafts and FA acquisitions, our success isn't just about talent, it's about mindset & chemistry.
Why would John pay that much more $ to a guy who is a risk, not elite and is so ready to move on?
He wouldn't and didn't. He bird dogged out a younger, cheaper and maybe more productive RB that wants to play for the world champs.
All that and he preserved the driving chemistry of this team by adding some hungry dogs.
Now KWlll is happy, the Chiefs are pumped, John's happy, most of the 12's are ecstatic but you are not. Buy another jersey or root for the Chiefs.
