Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 973 True Wisdom
knock knock.

A knock on the door broke the silence. Reed didn't turn around, but just said, "Come in."

Vicchi entered the office and closed the door carefully.

"Coach! Did you see that?" Vic couldn't contain his excitement.

Vicki quickly came to the French window, his face full of joy, "Look, there it is, Frank Clark."

"I've heard of him before. He's a troublemaker with a very bad temper. Although he rarely causes trouble, he'll immediately turn his back on others if they provoke him. His fists always move faster than his brain."

"He and Earl Thomas clashed more than once in the Seattle locker room, and even though everyone said Earl Thomas was the troublemaker, it was always a concern."

Judging from the rumors, Frank Clark is a man who believes in strength.

Or in other words, believe in your own fists.

After transferring from the Seattle Seahawks' locker room, which was full of countless rumors and conflicts, to the Kansas City Chiefs, Veach couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Today, Vic knew at a glance that Frank came prepared.

Frank deliberately arrived at the training ground at a late hour. Although he was not late, he arrived on time. This action itself is worth studying.

Frank knew all eyes were on him when he moved from the Seattle Seahawks, which were plagued by negative rumors, to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Seattle Seahawks' attempt to use the franchise tag to retain Frank was unsuccessful. Frank signed a five-year, $105.5 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, which is very close to the contract that the Dallas Cowboys renewed with defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence this offseason, making him one of the top five defensive linemen in the league in terms of annual salary.

It is worth noting that the contract renewal negotiations between the Kansas City Chiefs and Ford were not smooth. In the end, last season's starting linebackers Ford and Ragland were both traded. Ford went to the San Francisco 49ers and Ragland went to the Detroit Lions. The Kansas City Chiefs gained a series of draft picks to lay out for the future.

The point is that Ford signed a five-year, $49 million contract with the San Francisco ers.

Lower than Frank.

In other words, the salary cap space he occupies is lower than Frank's.

It is easy to guess that some players within the Kansas City Chiefs team are strongly dissatisfied with these two trades of Veach.

At least, that's what Frank thought. After experiencing the tough and domineering atmosphere in the Seattle Seahawks locker room, he subconsciously entered a fighting state, clenching his fists and raising spikes before going on the court. This is his understanding of the locker room.

After entering the training ground, Frank looked around the field with an attitude that said "keep away from strangers".

He looked like he was here to challenge the enemy, as if he was ready to swing his fist at any second, and the murderous intent in his eyes was not concealed at all.

As soon as he appeared on the stage, the atmosphere changed quietly.

Veach is ready to come forward. He doesn't want to feed the gossip media with information on the first day of spring training camp and let the defending champion make headlines in this way.

However, Levi got there first.

Levi took the initiative to step forward, introduced himself, gave directions, and finally welcomed Frank to join the Kansas City Chiefs. That was all.

Stop when you have enough and keep your distance.

Then, Levi turned around and continued training, sweating meticulously.

Frank stood there in a daze, obviously not expecting such treatment, and obviously not understanding what was going on here.

Frank remained alert and kept his distance, standing there observing for a while, gradually grasping the situation and watching the tense atmosphere slowly subside. Although his expression was still ferocious, he turned and went into the locker room, changed into training clothes, and when he came out again, he joined the training in silence.

The storm seemed to happen, but also seemed not to happen.

Vicky let out a long breath.

At least, they avoided the bloody scene of a group fight as soon as they met.

Following Veach's gaze, Reed saw Frank quietly warming up. Jones followed him, without any conversation, just keeping a certain distance and warming up with Frank, so that he could integrate into the team.

Given Jones's character, it is impossible for him to do this. It must be Levi's instructions.

Frank joined the league in 2015 and Jones in 2016. They are of similar age and play the same position, so they will need to develop tacit understanding during the training camp.

Compared to Levi, Jones is a better choice to open his arms and accept Frank into the team.

Reid, "Don't worry, this is not Seattle, we don't need to worry about our locker room."

Vicky exhaled lightly, "Luckily there are rookies."

"I just heard that the rookie arrived at the training ground at 5:30 in the morning."

"This year, several rookies wanted to make a good impression and arrived at the training ground around 7:30, an hour and a half earlier than our scheduled training time. They thought they had more than enough time, but they were all dumbfounded."

"Haha."

"I didn't expect the rookie to be so early."

Reed, "What if I say the rookie did it on purpose?"

Vicky, "Huh?"

Reed, "I said, the rookie came to the training ground at 5:30 today specifically because he knew that we experienced a series of turmoil during the offseason this year, and there may be different ideas among the players. There are internal and external troubles, and there may be many uncertainties in the future."

"So he arrived at the training ground early, hoping to catch the atmosphere in the locker room and draw everyone's attention back from the offseason as soon as possible."

"Do you believe?"

Vicchi was stunned, and thought about it seriously, "I believe it."

Although it seems a little unbelievable, if it is Levi, Vic is willing to believe it.

After all, that was Levi.

Reed, "Do you know what this means?"

Vicki looked at Reid, confused. He thought about it carefully before reacting and exhaled softly, "I know. You said it at that time, coach, that the rookie could become our team leader. If we miss him, we will regret it."

Reed chuckled, "So, the rookie is the real smart one."

What does this sentence mean?
Vicki really couldn't keep up with Reed's jumping thoughts. What was the relationship between leadership qualities and intelligence? What was the thread of Reed's conversation here?
After a moment's hesitation, Vicchi finally reacted.

Levi achieved several goals with one move. Most importantly, Levi proved his worth once again, not only on the court but also off it.

If Vic wasn't a fool, he shouldn't have missed Levi so easily.

The real subtext of Levi's actions is: it's time for the team to show sincerity.

This is much more effective than the agent's exaggerated talk and nonsense.

This is indeed the case. Neither Reed nor Vicki can miss Levi.

Now, there are a very, very small number of people in the league who realize that there must be big moves brewing behind the Kansas City Chiefs' turbulent offseason.

They generally speculate that the Kansas City Chiefs should be prepared to renew Mahomes' contract in advance. After all, no team should miss its cornerstone quarterback.

These guesses are half right and half wrong.

It is true that Veach needs to keep Mahomes; but the Kansas City Chiefs' first priority this offseason is actually to keep Levi.
