CommonCents Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 The Chefs' head coach is Andy Reid. You missed that one. Many will wonder about this contract the same way many wonder how the heck Jeff Fisher is still an NFL coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonborn10 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Nuts. He could be replaced with any number of FA's or draft picks. Must pay Gilmore or TT now or the price will be insane next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good point - every contract seems unbelievable until you see the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Fisher is not elite. That was wasted money. Good news is our left tackle is locked up for several years. Thank god we completed the deal when we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not for throwing him $25 mil/year. Go Chiefs! I love when other teams do silly things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 Who is Eric Fisher?2013 #1 overall pick. Supposed to be a LT but has played some RT and been kind of a bust, I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not for throwing him $25 mil/year. Go Chiefs! I love when other teams do silly things. That's where I am on TT. KC just screwed the pooch with Fisher. They just paid a serviceable LT elite LT money. No need to try to emulate them. Heck, I don't even know if that's possible at this point. The Bills would have to watch Taylor suck out loud this season and then give him $25M a year with $60M guaranteed for that to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 It's one thing to blow a top 5 pick on an O-lineman. It's another level of stupid to pay one this kind of money. Based on his position, even i he was above average, there will never ever be value there. Man, how hard is it to be an NFL GM? three rules: 1. pick a good QB, 2. pick a good HC, 3. sit back and don't do anything stupid--your work is done.
