Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 546 Inception
The Jacksonville Jaguars' defense impressed in the 2017 season, and now they are setting their sights on strengthening their offense.

Not only targeting the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, but also targeting the Kansas City Chiefs running back.

So, what is the Kansas City Chiefs warehouse auction scene?

Smith looked at Levi's face full of question marks and smiled. "Please, it's no secret in the league that Cardwell is determined to get you."

Levi spread his hands and said, "Hey, I'm not some unyielding superhero. Give me a five-year, $200 million fully guaranteed contract, and I will tell the coach myself that I can't resist the temptation and am ready to transfer."

puff.

Smith couldn't help it after all and spat out a mouthful of water.

Levi's face was full of seriousness, "Hygiene, Captain, please pay attention to hygiene, okay?"

Smith quickly wiped his mouth with a napkin. After a flurry of activity, he silently gave Levi a thumbs up: Awesome, you are really the best.

Levi regained his smile, "From what you just said, it seems that you are more interested in New York than Jacksonville?"

From a purely objective standpoint, Levi thinks the Jacksonville Jaguars are a good choice.

First of all, the defense is excellent.

Secondly, the offense is mainly solid and stable. If Smith joins, he will not only be able to serve as the main quarterback, but also be able to control the offensive discourse, and try his best to ensure that the team does not aggressively try long passes, and return to Smith's accustomed medium and short pass strategy, giving full play to Smith's advantages.

In this way, the Jacksonville Jaguars can indeed become a strong contender in the 2018 season.

Moreover, Levi speculated that they should have enough salary cap to meet Smith's big contract needs.

Personal preference aside, Caldwell's move was accurate and smart enough, and it's no surprise that the Jacksonville Jaguars can remain strong.

Smith was slightly embarrassed, raised his hand to touch his nose to cover himself, and then exhaled, "Okay, I admit that I have fantasies about New York."

Levi, "What do you mean?"

Smith then recalled that Levi knew nothing about football history. "Our generation of players has filters for a few teams. One is the San Francisco 49ers. Everyone wants to play in San Francisco. The other is the Green Bay Packers. This is the team with the most special fan culture in the league."

Levi raised his chin slightly. He had heard Mahomes mention that top quarterbacks including Brady and Rogers were eager to go to the San Francisco 49ers. However, when San Francisco had the opportunity to choose them, they all chose to ignore them, disappointing their loyalty.

“Other than that, it’s the New York Giants.”

"The reason is simple, because New York, that is the No. 1 city in North America. Whenever people go to New York together, things are always different."

"It's a big city and we're all eager to get out there and explore it."

Although Levi couldn't understand it 100%, after all, he was an alien soul and the original owner didn't seem to have any special feelings for New York; but Levi could probably understand this feeling, just like the Chinese mainland's yearning for Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, it was more or less filtered.

As for whether those cities are as beautiful as you imagine, that depends on personal opinion. You can only know by experiencing them yourself.

“It would be a very important step to be able to go to New York.”

"Moreover, John said that you are friends, your friends are also his friends. He welcomes your friends to join the New York Giants, and he believes that you will open your arms to welcome me."

John?

John Mara? Wait, Levi's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and all the clues were connected together. He couldn't help but laugh, showing a little helplessness.

Smith noticed, "What's wrong?"

Levi chuckled, waved his hand, and said sarcastically, "It's okay. It's my honor to be John's friend."

After the American League Finals, Levi returned to New York. At that time, Dolan, the owner of the New York Knicks, invited Levi to Madison Square Garden as a publicity stunt, and it was a success.

After the game, Levi met John Mara, the owner of the New York Giants, in the VIP lounge. He was the real protagonist of the night and caught Levi off guard. As for Dolan, he never showed up.

The meeting ended and Levi and Donald Yu completed their communication.

At that time, Donald thought that the New York Giants should be interested in Levi. After all, New York is the second largest Chinese gathering place in the entire North American continent. Apart from the Asian market, this city is a treasure.

Moreover, the New York Giants really need a running back; at the same time, after the team and quarterback Eli Manning fell out, they also needed a new idol, a facade, a logo, and a superstar to open up the situation.

It makes perfect sense for the New York Giants to set their sights on Levi as a precaution.

If Donald chooses, he would also like Levi to go to the New York Giants——

Not only is it a big basketball city, but in terms of marketing and business operations, New York's advantages are indeed unmatched by the other 31 NFL teams. The fact that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. became a superstar in one fell swoop is direct proof of this; the same goes for the Rams and Chargers going to Los Angeles and the Raiders going to Las Vegas.

However, Levi said he had no idea and he was very happy in Kansas City. Donald could only put his idea aside for the time being and make new plans.

Let the New York Giants become a stepping stone to raise Levi's status and wealth.

All in all, Donald laid out his plan.

But now it seems that John Mara is still experienced and has taken the lead.

If you think about it carefully, the Kansas City Chiefs were only aiming for the AFC championship at the time, and the Super Bowl battle hadn't started yet, so everything was possible. If it was just for a rookie running back, a running back who might transfer in two years, a running back whose performance next season was still unknown, a running back who might be forgotten by everyone after losing the Super Bowl, there would be no need for Mara to step in personally.

This is not reasonable.

Even Levi wasn't enough.

However, if it is for a quarterback, a quarterback whose contract is about to expire, a quarterback who may be replaced by a rookie at any time, a quarterback who has proven his ability and attitude, a quarterback who can help the team get through two or three seasons smoothly while the team finds a successor through the draft, a quarterback who may be transferred and will inevitably become a hot commodity in the free market once he decides to transfer, then everything makes sense.

In other words, Levi and Donald both thought that Mara came for him; but in fact, Mara was playing Go, and one cannot look at one move alone, but should judge the subsequent possibilities through one move.

Those possibilities finally came to fruition for Smith.

Imagine if it wasn't Levi, or if Levi wasn't that smart and perceptive, and couldn't connect the whole story together, what would he say when faced with Smith's questions?
First of all, New York is my hometown.

Secondly, I had a very pleasant conversation with Mara not long ago and felt treated as a VIP.

Just like "Inception", plant a seed of thought in the subconscious mind, wait for the seed to take root and sprout, and finally evolve into "one's own ideas", actively and proactively recruit Smith for the New York Giants. Even just an affirmation or a good word may become the key to Smith's decision.

High, really high.
