His base salary next season will only be $870,000.
KC has already drawn up the blueprint for success for teams having a great QB making $45 million a year. That is to go cheaper on RB's and WR's and protect the franchise QB with a great O-line and give him time to make his reads.
Which is basically just common sense which JoeM seems to not exercise at times.
I appreciate that Mike took ownership of some of that stuff in this 2013 article, but the draft picks, contracts, and FAs after this article coupled w ZT's hiring and the roster's character makeup being virtually completely different since - I would have to say Marvin was a massive influencer of Mike in this way. Marvin left and the roster immediately did an about face into high character guys. Burfict cut, etc. The fact that Joe Mixon was left on the roster while Dunlap was traded would tell me Mixon has done his part to turn himself around.... which is what this thread is about.
^ The caveat to this being, perhaps with the hiring of Taylor, Mike stepped far enough away from any personnel stuff and lets Katie, Troy, & Duke do it all now. But, that's speculation.
