Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 999 - 998 Historical Moment

Rapoport, "Inside information, this contract amount might exceed one hundred million US dollars."

The sound, completely vanished.

Surprised? Shocked? Impacted? Astonished? All disappeared, as if a tidal wave after the detonation of an atomic bomb, the world fell silent.

Silent as the grave.

Because it was so overwhelming and turbulent that it deprived normal reaction ability.

What... does this mean?

One hundred million US dollars?

If the contract term is short, it means Li Wei’s annual salary is about to break historical records.

If the contract term is long, it means the Kansas City Chiefs break the League’s consensus on running backs being just consumables, giving Li Wei a long-term contract.

No matter if it’s the former or the latter, there’s no doubt, it’s impactful, obliterating all noises with crushing force—

It lasted a full thirty seconds.

For the constantly updated social network, it’s already a miracle.

Then, people couldn’t control themselves anymore:

Rapoport, are you sure?

Crazy, crazy, the whole social network instantaneously lost control.

Sharp journalists immediately realized, they’re about to witness history, one by one impatiently opened documents to draft articles ahead.

Thousands of phone signals instantly exploded a signal tower next to the Kansas City Chiefs Training Facility, phone calls from all over the world simultaneously rushed to Kansas City, everyone was looking for their Kansas City Chiefs friend—

Not familiar? No problem.

The usual patron of the bar run by your mother’s next-door neighbor’s good friend’s son’s college roommate’s ex-girlfriend’s brother is actually the locker room cleaner of the Kansas City Chiefs? No problem.

No matter how distant the connection, no matter if the phone number stored was never dialed, everything didn’t matter, as long as it’s Kansas City Chiefs’ internal staff.

Make the call.

Dig for news.

Not only journalists, but netizens also all swarmed bustlingly, and some who live near Kansas City directly left home, jumped in their cars, and dashed all the way to the Kansas City Chiefs Training Facility.

Such a grand occasion, seen once in ten years.

Even other teams in the League were alarmed.

In the meeting room of the New England Patriots Training Base, the noise was overwhelming.

The ongoing game video meeting was forced to interrupt, Brady was a bit annoyed, turned to look at the whispering and exchanging glances players, the rebuke was already at his throat.

Unexpectedly, a coach assistant pushed in, glanced around, found Belichick, quickly stepped up and whispered a few words in his ear.

Belichick knitted his brows in contemplation.

Beside him, finally, a player couldn’t hold back, "Coach, is the rumor about the rookie true?"

Brady was about to get angry, turned to see who exactly was responsible for the gossip.

The next sentence, however, made Brady freeze.

"A one hundred million contract?"

If it’s a quarterback, a one hundred million contract, reasonable.

But a running back?

And a second-year running back?

More importantly, they all know of the salary cap’s existence, what exactly is the Kansas City Chiefs scheming, this contract seemingly brewing a storm behind it, this is the true reason for Belichick and Brady’s astonishment.

Brady had no mind to continue finding the source of the voice, similarly looked at Belichick.

Belichick and Brady exchanged a gaze, they could both feel the storm brewing, the matter is not that simple.

Belichick gently nodded, gave Brady an affirming look.

Brady was completely taken aback.

But Belichick recovered quickly, regained his usual composure, "Calm down, let’s continue the meeting..."

However, Brady did not regain his composure:

The rookie? The rookie who started in mixed martial arts halfway through, really set to follow his rise path becoming the game-changing Goat in League history?

In just two seasons, that guy has already turned the whole League upside down.

Brady himself didn’t realize, his left fist clenched tighter and tighter until—

Snap!

The pen broke into two pieces, ink sprayed everywhere.

Evidently, the New England Patriots are not the only team in turmoil.

Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Rams, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago Bears, Carolina Panthers, San Francisco 49ers...

And so on, half the League is digesting this news.

Also the Baltimore Ravens.

Harbaugh heard the news, slightly stunned, couldn’t help but recall that year’s Rookie Training Camp, sharp-eyed Reed had long been eyeing that young man; however, at that time he was still hesitating whether to invest more in the offensive group.

Indeed, the older ginger is spicier.

Harbaugh showed a wry smile, "Seems like coach started the layout long ago."

Even knowing any thought now is already unimportant, Harbaugh still couldn’t help but think:

If... back then he was bold and courageous enough to trade up for Li Wei, combined with Lamar Jackson they snagged last year, what would the Baltimore Ravens’ offensive group look like now?

Bustling with activity, thriving with noise.

The entire League is boiling, rolling over, no one can be an exception.

Before realizing the passage of time, social networks had new updates again.

Rapoport, "Inside information, this contract might far exceed ’not just’ one hundred million US dollars, it will completely overturn the League’s existing game rules."

"Not just," capitalized and bolded.

Added another fuel to the social network’s boiling pot.

Then, five minutes later, the Kansas City Chiefs’ official press conference finally kicked off, Reed and Veach jointly attended this significant event—

The press conference hall was packed, and NFLN covered live throughout.

Reed took to the stage first, reaffirming the official stance:

Li Wei is a crucial part of the team, playing the role of team leader both on and off the field, they have always believed in Li Wei and look forward to joining hands with him, hoping Li Wei would continue as part of the team.

Blah blah blah, it’s equivalent to a direct response to the past month’s various rumors.

Then, Veach took the stage, likewise exchanging pleasantries, and at the last moments of rambling, Veach finally revealed the final answer.

"...The team and Li Wei reached a consensus, signed a ten-year two hundred million US dollar contract..."

Other things, all became unimportant, Veach’s voice was also cut off, only one keyword remained in the mind.

"Ten years two hundred million."

So, where should they start being shocked?

Ten years? Or two hundred million?

The Kansas City Chiefs gave up the fifth-year option before the third-year to renew with Li Wei already seemed mad enough, turned out they signed a history-making contract that overturns the League, the matter has far exceeded expectations.

Not one hundred million, but two hundred million!

Two hundred million! A running back! Ten years!

At this moment, the brain completely gave up thinking, only two hundred million llamas were running wildly, fragmented thoughts exploded in the mind.

Subsequently, Rapoport announced the contract details, thoroughly plunging all voices all thoughts in the League into oblivion, one by one started suspecting life.

"Ten years two hundred million US dollars; one hundred million guaranteed; effective in the 2021 season."

Witness, history.
