KOC extended

[StickierBuns]

A little birdie told me it's 15 million per year.

Makes sense. The Bears overpaid for Johnson, but no doubt KOC should be getting more. They probably could have gotten Kevin for $11 or $12 million per year before this amazing regular season. IMO, he's worth every penny.

KOC just named NFC coach of the year by the Committee of 101.

Also read that KOC negotiated more say in personnel matters, which I'm glad for if true. Have KAM extended, but neuter him a bit and let KOC flex on important draft/player decisions.

I'm curious to know what this means. What does "more say" mean exactly? I think it's pretty clear he already has quite a bit of sway in terms of draft picks, as he should, as head coach. He did a lot of work on Addison and McCarthy and he clearly had some pull in free agency, helping to bring Aaron Jones to the Vikings. 

But to his credit, Kwesi isn't a rogue GM. Like all good GMs, he appears to listen to his staff and doesn't make decisions unilaterally. So what does "more say" mean? I hope at least THEY have outlined the parameters of this or it could get sketchy.

I'm certain parameters are laid out in the extension, but whether that gets out completely is probably unlikely. And it could be 100% bullshit, so take with a grain like most anything on the 'Net these days.

He should have negotiated the departure of Ryan Grigson.

Just throwing out a guess, or an educated guess from talks, final say over the 53. KOC has final say over player moves that Kwesi makes, meaning they have to be agreed upon or KOC can dismiss the move. Basically, gets more groceries in his cart, instead of getting a cart full of bad produce.

He deserves it. How you take a complete bust of a highly drafted QB and go 14-2 is beyond worthy of it.
