Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 998 Silence
Ian Rapoport, a professional reporter for the NFL, said, "Kansas City Chiefs and running back Levi have reached a final agreement on a contract extension."

Wait, what?
A single stone caused a huge storm throughout the entire alliance.

On the timeline of social networks, you can still see overwhelming attacks. They believe that Levi is becoming the biggest time bomb in the Kansas City Chiefs locker room and may become an obstacle for the defending champions in the new season.

Everything is just like what happened when David Beckham was in the Manchester United locker room.

At the end of the story, Ferguson's shoe flew into Beckham's face. Although both sides tried to maintain superficial friendship, Beckham still transferred to Real Madrid and never looked back on the road to fame and fortune.

Now, Levi is repeating the same mistake.

After all, Levi is to the NFL what Beckham was to football.

Moreover, the durability and consistency of the running back will also face new challenges after Levi's high-energy output for two consecutive seasons. It is precisely because Levi's performance in the first two seasons was too incredible that people have more and more doubts about the next three years.

Does Levi have enough fuel in the tank to maintain his peak performance for three consecutive years?

In fact, let alone running backs, the same is true for other positions in football, a sport with such intense and fierce confrontation.

Don't forget that even as good as Watt was named the league's Defensive Player of the Year for two consecutive years, he was still ruled out for the third year due to injury.

Not only Levi, Aaron Donald will also face severe challenges in the next season, and there will be endless doubts. This is the only way to become a legend.

Naturally, the attention, provocations, and doubts surrounding Levi rose along with the surge of praise.

At this time, Levi and the Kansas City Chiefs finally exposed some cracks, and it seemed that there were really problems in the locker room. The media and netizens naturally would not miss it, and they swarmed in like flies staring at the cracks in an egg.

Insults, attacks, and complaints.

Overwhelming.

However, everything is so ironic.

In this one-sided bombardment, Rapoport's push seemed out of place, appearing strangely and abruptly on the timeline, like an April Fool's joke, and attracted ridicule from the crowd.

In the opinion of netizens, the Kansas City Chiefs should now consider getting rid of Levi. How can they discuss a contract extension?

More importantly, Levi’s third grade hasn’t even begun yet.

So, what Rapoport is saying is that the Kansas City Chiefs not only gave up the fifth-year option of a first-round running back, but also offered Levi a brand new contract in his second year?
"Haha, what a joke!"

"@IanRapoport, are you out of your mind?"

"@Ian-Rapoport, your inside information is not accurate. Professional journalists should review their intelligence work."

"I am dying of laughter. What kind of Halloween joke is this?"

"Have you confirmed this news with Andy Reid? The coach will probably spit on you."

"Because it was too stupid to laugh at him, lest he break down."

Crowd ridicule!

Literally.

No one believed Rapoport and their first reaction was that it was an April Fool's joke.

However, just five minutes later, a second message appeared on the timeline.

NFL professional reporter Tom Pelissero said, "Insider sources say the Kansas City Chiefs and second-year running back Levi have reached a consensus on a contract extension and are about to sign a historic contract. Currently, there are no clues to the details of the contract."

Buzz, buzz.

The social network was like boiling water, boiling up in an instant, and one could clearly feel the panic among netizens and other media.

The slap came too fast.

Moreover, they were accurate and ruthless, hitting people in the face without showing any mercy. They were still gloating over the internal strife in the Kansas City Chiefs' locker room, but they didn't expect that the Kansas City Chiefs' uniform team completely trusted Levi.

problem?

Never existed.

Li Wei: I have already told you, but you just don’t believe it.

Levi's response flashed through the minds of the reporters, but they obviously never believed it. It was as if Reed had been telling them "everything is fine." They refused to believe the Kansas City Chiefs from beginning to end, and thought that the team was just whitewashing the situation.

Turns out, both Reed and Levi are telling the truth.

The journalists were utterly embarrassed this time.

The slap was so clean, sharp, and powerful that the reporters were dizzy and had no idea how to respond.

Who would have thought that the Kansas City Chiefs had been quietly making money this offseason, and that such a big move was brewing behind the scenes:
Renew Levi's contract?

Sophomore running back?
What kind of strategy is this?

Wait, wait! Even if the Kansas City Chiefs are ready to renew Levi's contract, at most it will be equal to Bell's contract with the New York Jets. Does Vichy plan to watch Ziegler and Levi complete the contract extension?

Apart from other things, Gurley's sluggish and lost performance in this year's Super Bowl was disappointing. Although Gurley was injured and played with an injury, his mental will is still worthy of recognition, but this is the fate of a running back.

Once you get hurt, it may be downhill.

“Expendables,” that’s why people call running backs that.

Now, what is wrong with the Kansas City Chiefs?

The bustling and noisy discussions were like densely packed little bubbles in boiling water, gurgling out continuously, making the scene extremely lively.

Rapoport: "According to insider information, this is a cooperation that both parties are satisfied with. The Kansas City Chiefs uniform group has been busy with this matter throughout the offseason."

Pelissero, "The Kansas City Chiefs will hold a formal press conference in an hour to announce the extension."

Pelissero, "Vicki and Reed will attend the press conference together, without Levi."

Pelissero, "Inside information, Levi is leading the offensive team to watch the game video and will not attend the press conference."

There is one post per minute, and the timeline is extremely busy. Not only netizens, but also media, industry insiders and alliance staff are all focusing on it.

Look, when the entire league was anxious, the person involved was leading the team's offensive group to watch game videos and was completely focused on daily training.

So, is this what they call locker room strife? Is this what they call Levi causing anger in the locker room? Is this what they call the Kansas City Chiefs falling apart?
As the saying goes, don't look at what they say, look at what they do -

Actions speak louder than words.

In the storm of rumors, Levi and the Kansas Chiefs showed calmness and composure, coupled with the abnormalities in the past period of time, and now the reporters are finally slowly waking up and realizing the whole story:

Perhaps, the so-called locker room turmoil was just a trap and a smokescreen, and the reporters foolishly cooperated with the Kansas City Chiefs to complete this trick.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether I was shocked or ashamed.

Rapoport: "According to insider information, the details of the contract are still unknown. The only thing that can be confirmed is that this is a historic contract."

Rapoport, "Inside information, the contract value may exceed $100 million."

--boom!

In an instant, there was complete silence and all the noise disappeared.
