I did this whole free agency thing last year and it took a little while, money drives up pretty quick so I ended up signing a one-year deal last year.”

The former Chiefs player continued describing the free-agency period as “a little different” this year due to having already received a couple of offers on the first day. He continued by explaining the intention to finalize the deal in a week, later his agency had presented him with other proposals, including the Commander’s, and Wylie also praised his agent for seizing the opportunity.
“This free agency was a little bit different. Me and my agent kind of went back-and-forth, you know, we thought we were going to get something done in a week but then he shows up at my spot here on the first day with a few offers. That was really cool to be a part of and the fact that DC came in with a little bit of a bag there, so me and him, I couldn’t be more thankful for my agent”, Wylie stated.
