The Kansas City Chiefs have issued numerous offseason extensions but Omenihu predicts a teammate could reset the market in the future.

Brett Veach and the front office made Chris Jones the highest-paid interior defensive lineman in March.

One expert has also predicted Creed Humphrey could become the most expensive center soon.

Being the best team in football, the Chiefs have to pay their superstars top dollar but are restricted to the cap space.

Moreover, Kansas City was forced to trade L’Jarius Sneed as the money he was expecting was out of the franchise’s budget.

So, he was traded to the Tennessee Titans and embarks on a new chapter.

Balancing the books is a delicate procedure and the front office has to make appropriate sacrifices when considering the future.

NFL cornerbacks encourage young stars to reset the market

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey took to X and posted: “The pay gap between CB and WR is too big. It’s time for one of y’all young CB’s to reset the market.”

He posted this after it was confirmed Amon-Ra St. Brown had signed a four-year deal worth $120 million.

As a result, the Detroit Lions wide receiver became the highest-paid in his position.

The market will only increase in price as Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, and Ja’Marr Chase are all expecting new deals.

Humphrey believes the young cornerbacks need to close the gap to the ever-growing receiver market.

Six-time Pro Bowler Darius Slay responded: “This next group will…”.

Both cornerbacks suggested, Patrick Surtain II, Derek Stingley Jr., Sauce Gardener, and Jaycee Horn as the next group with the capability to close the market.

Charles Omenihu believes his teammate will force the Chiefs to pay big

Nonetheless, this conversation promoted Charles Omenihu to suggest one of the Chiefs’ exceptional talents.

On X, Omenihu stated: “Duffie definitely gone get a major bag”

Trent McDuffie is coming off a First-Team All-Pro season in his sophomore year.

Being a first-round pick, the Chiefs do have a fifth-year extension that they could activate on his rookie deal next year.

Yet, he would be eligible for a new contract and the Chiefs could be tempted to tie down his long-term future swiftly.

The 23-year-old will be promoted to CB1 after Sneed departed, meaning he will be lining up against the best receivers in the league.
