I'm generally always on the players' side when it comes to money and there are clearly cases when the player is outperforming what he got at signing but this MF is pushing it quite a bit.

Contracts just seem pointless these days. Wish I could back out of all my contracts I wish I had negotiated better conditions.

Worley signed to PS, thankfully. Would have been a real bummer.

oh also way too many ppl here overreacted to a slightly poor "welcome to the NFL" game for Trenton Simpson in preseason week 2
he was so much better in week 3
he was so much better in week 3
think he was our best graded defensive player. I still would like to see him rushing the passer more, not as an inline linebacker. That's not his game.
This is very possible. Could end up being a decent draft pick for where he was taken.

So in general I agree with the premise, which is why most of the public is "against him" in this holdout. However, two things I'd point out, which is likely his thought process:
1. He's the 7th highest paid DT in terms of cash compensation this year. That's not dreadful, but I imagine he thinks he should be closer to the top.
2. He has no gtd $ left on his contract, and no additional years on his deal beyond this one.
I imagine the latter is the biggest sticking point. He wants long term job protection, and he wants as much $ now as he can get it. Like yeah, if he has another great year, he'll get a huge deal in 7 months. But if he gets hurt, he'll also get a much lower deal in 7 months.
Would also point out that him getting franchise tagged next year is an option, and that # is projected at ~$21M today. So if he doesn't get an extension now, he risks getting paid below market value (and one a one year deal) again next year. And honestly, the FT makes plenty of sense for KC, because it'll be like $7M less than his cap number for this year (currently at $28.3M).
It's not super clear what he would get in AAV as a FA, but I would imagine the 4 year, $96M deal the Jets just gave Quinnen Williams is at least the floor for discussions. He may not get a 4 year deal, but in AAV it'll at least be that much.

Nah. He'll bounce around, and get on a team with a weak WR roster or one dealing with injuries.
He'll probably go on the workout circuit for a few weeks before landing somewhere, likely on a PS. Think he'll get another regular season shot eventually.
he hasn't been picked up by anyone, but it doesn't mean he won't be.
Wouldn't see why he wouldn't get another opportunity. Still plenty young with enough talent to turn it around. He had a very tough off/preseason but had shown some good things before that.
