Chapter 400 Sheep entering tiger’s mouth
hum-

The air in the hotel lobby was slightly stagnant, and everyone fell into a brief chaos.

Not only the reporters, but also the Kansas City Chiefs players became alert and could not understand why the manager of the opposing team appeared here.

Is it a coincidence?
But how could it be a coincidence? Even a middle school student found it hard to believe that what was happening before their eyes was a coincidence; however, they could not find a reasonable explanation in their minds.

The scene was chaotic for a while.

Seeing this, Kansas City Chiefs manager Veach automatically stepped forward and greeted the team manager as a team manager. This is the correct way to open it.

At the draft, Vecchi’s fierce move tricked Caldwell, leading to the strong rise of the Kansas City Chiefs; but no one expected that Caldwell was also able to make a comeback through a series of sharp operations in the free market, so that the Jacksonville Jaguars became the biggest variable in this season’s playoffs.

Now, the two team managers finally face each other for the ultimate showdown.

however.

The surprise happened again.

Cardwell and Vicki exchanged a few brief greetings, and Cardwell smiled and raised his hand.

“Sorry, wait a moment.”

Vicky: ???
But because of Cardwell’s polite words, Vicki didn’t have time to stop him.

Cardwell left his position and walked quickly to the side, his target was——

Amidst the chaos and astonishment, perhaps the only exception was Levi.

First of all, Levi didn’t know Cardwell.

Secondly, Levi didn’t know whether the league had regulations that prohibited other team managers from contacting players privately without the team’s permission.

Thirdly, Levi didn’t think this matter had anything to do with him at all.

Until Cardwell caught up.

“Levi!”

Levi stopped and asked, “Me?”

Mahomes stood next to Levi, fully alert, and was not aware that he was clenching his fists.

Levi saw this scene and smiled and said jokingly, “Sherlock, relax, or you might accidentally break the old man’s bones, which would be bad.”

After saying this, Levi laughed heartily.

Mahomes couldn’t help laughing.

I thought Cardwell couldn’t laugh, but unexpectedly Cardwell also showed a big smile, “Levi, I’m David Cardwell.”

Almost, the Jacksonville Jaguars were almost able to have Levi.

Although the Jacksonville Jaguars now have Fournette and their ground offense ranks second in the league this season, it seems that there is no impact without Levi; but Caldwell doesn’t think so. Levi represents the market.

Not to mention how much revenue Levi brought to the Kansas City Chiefs’ attendance and jersey sales, the league’s promotion and publicity alone is incalculable wealth. This has made the Kansas City Chiefs brand stand out strongly, and the subsequent market influence is an immeasurable huge gain.

This is definitely not something that can be replaced by Fournette alone.

Cardwell has always kept this account in mind.

At the beginning of the season, the Kansas City Chiefs had a strong start with consecutive wins, and the Jacksonville Jaguars became the target of public ridicule. The media did not know that Caldwell was going to choose Levi, but was intercepted by the Kansas City Chiefs. However, Caldwell had no way to defend himself and could only silently become the target of attack by the media and fans.

To this, Caldwell just wants to say: It’s not that he has no vision, but he was robbed, understand? The Jacksonville Jaguars are the victims, okay? They chose Fournette as a second choice!

Fournet: …It turns out I’m the spare tire.

Now, things are completely different –

The Jacksonville Jaguars are standing on the stage of the AFC finals and are about to face the Kansas City Chiefs. They are also generally considered to be the favorites to win the championship. On the one hand, the Jacksonville Jaguars are eager to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs to advance to the Super Bowl. From any perspective, this is a must-win game.

On the other hand, Cardwell hopes that Levi knows that there is always a place for him in the Jacksonville Jaguars and this is his best destination.

If the Kansas City Chiefs make a fool of themselves and don’t understand Levi’s value, he doesn’t mind taking over, even if it means bearing the pressure of the salary cap.

Today is just the beginning.

Cardwell believes that he and Levi will have more opportunities to meet in the future.

Of course, Cardwell also knew that contacting players privately might violate league regulations, but Cardwell had a brilliant idea –

As long as it’s not private contact, isn’t that enough?
It is carried out openly and honestly in full view of the public, proving that there is no trick or conspiracy, so naturally there will be no problem.

So, here comes Caldwell—

It’s that simple to come here and introduce yourself.

Levi showed a polite smile, stretched out his right hand and shook it in a friendly manner, “Mr. Cardwell.”

Mahomes’ palms were sweating. Is this appropriate?

“Is there anything I can help you with? An autograph or a photo?”

Mahomes: Ahem.

He almost choked on his own saliva, and his cheeks quickly turned red. Looking at the stunned Caldwell in front of him, Mahomes quickly lowered his head and retracted his jaw, using all his strength to barely hold back his smile.

Cardwell was stunned, obviously not expecting Levi’s reaction, but as the team manager, he quickly regained his footing and calmed down.

After taking a deep breath, Cardwell smiled widely again, “Levi, I’m the team manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars.”

Identify themselves.

Levi raised his chin slightly, revealing an expression of sudden enlightenment, which made Cardwell breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn’t expect Levi to continue.

“It must be hard being a Chiefs fan in Jacksonville.”

Caldwell: …

Mahomes: Use force. Make a fist. It’s really hard to hold back laughter.

Vic, who was a little slow in arriving, was stunned and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Kelsey and the others behind them could no longer control themselves and started to giggle secretly.

In fact, this is not uncommon in the league.

Playing for a team does not necessarily mean you are a fan of that team. After all, this is a professional league and everything is a business or a cooperation. You should not expect to give everything you have just out of passion.

But the point is, the truth is one thing, but breaking the window paper is another.

No team management or fan wants to hear that their team manager or quarterback is in Cao’s camp but his heart is with Han. This is not something that can be laughed off.

The veins on Cardwell’s temples were throbbing wildly and throbbing slightly.

He is a tough, in-control manager, not the type to joke around with the coaching staff and players.

Although Cardwell knew that Levi was sharp-tongued and never showed any weakness in front of the media, it was one thing to watch and eat melon, and it was another to become the target of attack himself.

The smile was almost gone as anger suddenly surged to his head and burned fiercely.

It seems that Levi is a thorn in the side and difficult to discipline. So will Cardwell continue to pursue Levi?

This doesn’t seem like a good idea.
