Steve Breaston Chiefs

 

I don’t understand this at all. The Chiefs just spent a 1st round pick on Jonathan Baldwin and they already have Dwayne Bowe. Why would they give Breaston 25 million over 5 years with 9.5 million guaranteed? I understand Baldwin might not be ready to start as a rookie coming off a lockout shortened offseason, but they’re probably going to want him to start by year 2 right? I know Breaston has history with Todd Haley and history as a slot receiver in Todd Haley’s offense, but in that case they just spent 9.5 million guaranteed on a slot receiver.

On top of that Breaston is not the same breakout receiver who caught 77 passes for 1006 yards and 3 touchdowns in 2008 as Haley’s slot receiver in Arizona. In the past two years, Breaston has had nagging knee injuries. So basically the Chiefs just spent 9.5 million guaranteed on a slot receiver with bad knees on a deal that would take him until he’s 32 if he plays out the entirety of the contract in Kansas City (I’ll bet anyone 50 bucks he doesn’t).

Grade: F
