Chiefs Are Beyond Stupid to Not Wait Until End of Season to Extend Tyreek Hill

If you're strapped for cash and need to wait a year or so before you'll have money to spend, it's not the best idea to splurge on a new Maserati.

That's a lesson the Kansas City Chiefs really should have taken to heart before they inked star wide receiver Tyreek Hill to a $54 million dollar contract extension that makes him the highest paid receiver in football.

The Chiefs wouldn't have had a ton of money to spend with our without a new Hill deal, but this contract makes it almost impossible for them to potentially add another star player midway through the season to aid in their push to the championship.

Rather than play out the last year of Hill's contract, which would still be part of his rookie deal, Kansas City is now tied to Hill for the next three seasons and are extremely limited financially with what they can do to add pieces around him.

The Chiefs have $15 million in cap space given Hill's new deal, but that number could have been much higher and allowed them to make a season altering trade if they put the Hill deal on the backburner for a year.
