The defending champions continue to accumulate talent.
Being Super Bowl winners and keeping players like Travis Kelce or Patrick Mahomes didn’t stop the Chiefs from signing a new offensive lineman. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Missouri franchise has offered the services of Jawaan Taylor, the former Jaguars right tackle, on Monday.
4 years, 80 million dollars including 60 million guaranteed: the figures of the contract are dizzying, and correspond to a serious increase, in particular compared to the contract of the right tackle of the franchise in 2022, Andrew Wylie, which was valued at 2.5 millions of euros. The latter was recovered by the Commanders for 3 years and 24 million dollars.
At 25, Jawaan Taylor therefore broke the bank as soon as his rookie contract expired. This type of contract, for a player who has not yet received any particular accolade, risks having a strong impact on the market. And raises the question of whether he could be brought to play left tackle, where the contracts are usually more profitable.
