Maybe even more team favorable, because I think not only would it have been the ability to walk after every year, but...

The trigger guarantees, I think, would have been more team favorable, probably less of a guarantee up front, especially as far as the signing bonus.

I think there might have been some roster bonuses in there, too.

I mean, it would have been, like I said, pretty team favorable, and that's what the Chiefs would have agreed to.

But Rasheed Rice, by all accounts, seemed to have in his mind that he goes out and has a career year this year and that there's some sort of jackpot of money waiting for him at the end of the season.

Now I think if you're the Rasheed Rice camp, you would sign a team-favorable deal in a heartbeat.

I just don't know if this was the last strike for the Chiefs, that they're just at this point that they know that they can't count on Rasheed Rice for the future.

I think it's gone more in that direction.

I don't know if it's completely in that direction.

I'm not sure that they've completely washed their hands of him yet, but I think it has to have moved both sides in different directions, I believe.

Yeah, and that's why I say, you know, from a devil's advocate standpoint, this whole thing with Rasheed, you know, yes, he got 30 days in jail.

He already had 30 days in jail.

I mean, those were coming.

So when you boil this whole incident down to its essence, what is it?

It's, okay, well, it's a guy doing THC, and that's not even something that they suspend people for anymore.

I mean, that's not every guy in that locker room, and I don't say every guy because it's not every guy, but a vast majority, I'm sure, of the players in that locker room

I've done marijuana and THC.

It's just the likelihood of that age group.

And certainly, I mean, it seems like most of the players in the NFL feel.

I mean, it's not that big of a deal.
