Update:3 free agent players the Chiefs could sign with a ‘prove-it’ deal

The NFL’s legal tampering period will begin Monday, March 11, at 3 p.m. Arrowhead Time. This will kick off the free

agent frenzy, with an active window for every team in the league. There will be blockbuster agreements and life-

changing money exchanged during this time, but there will also be a few players who do not receive the contract they expected.

Some of these players will choose to take the money on the table, while others may follow a different strategy.

Brett Veach, general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, is becoming known for his “prove-it” deals.

In 2022, Veach signed now-New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster to a one-year contract costing slightly more than $1 million under the salary cap. Smith-Schuster answered with nearly 1,000 yards and a Super Bowl ring.

Smith-Schuster and the Chiefs were unable to reach an agreement, but the Patriots awarded him a lucrative three-year $25 million contract.

This offseason, the Chiefs signed linebacker Drue Tranquill from the rival Los Angeles Chargers to a one-year contract worth slightly more than $1 million.

After 70 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and a Super Bowl-winning season, the Chiefs gave Tranquill a new three-year contract worth up to $19 million.

Both Smith-Schuster and Tranquill’s contracts included incentives based on individual and team success, but these

accords should excite players who believe they have not received a fair offer until free agency begins.

The “prove-it deal” gives the player the opportunity to make life-changing money and, if signed with Kansas City, the

chance to win a Super Bowl ring.

Defensive end A. J. Epenesa

The Buffalo Bills have culled their roster this offseason to comply with the NFL pay cap. While they made a number

of major cuts, it is probable that several players will depart in free agency.

A.J. Epenesa is among the players who fit within this group.

The former second-round draft pick is coming off two 6.5-sack seasons, but he has never played more than 41% of

defensive snaps in a season owing to the Bills’ deep front four.

Epenesa, a long athletic pass rusher, has a lot of promise, but due to his lack of overall output as a player, teams may

not be ready to pay him what he feels he deserves.
