The Kansas City Chiefs are going into 2015 with an interesting situation concerning talented cornerback Sean Smith. The Chiefs have once again been put in a position where a player is getting better by the year and their delay in re-signing them to an extended contract may have cost them. Let’s reflect back.
Justin Houston was drafted in 2011 and performed nicely each year up to when his contract ended after the 2014 season. Following the 2013 campaign, it was clear Houston wanted to start talking about a new contract. He had vastly outperformed his rookie contract, showcasing his talent with 11 sacks in 11 games played that season.
