Trever hasn't been that good.

Trever hasn't been that good.

I really look at this as a 3 year contract so they're not over paying him for a long time. First three years about $165 million average pay. So if really unhappy with him after 3 years they can cut the cord. I still think he's a top 15 QB no matter what unless his skillset actually degrades over the next 4 years. Could easily be top 10 over the next 5 years so the risk is worth it.

yes. its steep but thats what elite QBs cost. There are few QBs with his skillset, stuff that can't be taught. He hasn't played to an elite level at all times but his problems are of the teaching and growing variety. I would have bet the over if I were them just as they did

Kansas City Chiefs' $40,000 Super Bowl rings appear to have typo

The Kansas City Chiefs shelled out $40,000 for each Super Bowl ring they handed out to players on Thursday — but the team couldn't defend against a major typo that appeared to penetrate their championship bling.
The jewels were handed out Thursday night in an elegant ceremony on the south lawn of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, but — according to images of the ring on the official Chiefs website — it appeared that few, if anyone, caught the engraved error.

The top, inside portion of the ring, which would push down on the wearer's knuckle, lists scores of playoff games won by the Chiefs and the conference seed of each vanquished opponent.

The first postseason win, on that top line, was listed as a 26-7 triumph over "MIA [7]," i.e. the Miami Dolphins who occupied the No. 7 AFC seed of the tournament, according to the official images of the ring.

But in reality, the Dolphins were the No. 6 seed of the American Football Conference.

It’s called attention to details.

[Berserker76]

It’s called attention to details.

Especially for a friggin ring that costs 40k each. Sadly, it's just a sign of our times. And hey, don't want any mistakes on our rings next year, NONE!
