He has a 10 year deal, we can maximize restructures and not really worry about them restricting us because they'll be spread over the maximum number of years. And the chiefs have repeatedly said they're tearing up his current contract and giving him a brand new one in the next 2 years anyway so that chicken wont come to roost.

Yeah I think those concerns are overblown. We always have options. We don’t want to use them in order to protect our future cap. But they are always there. And buffalo is an example of how long you can keep stringing that along and still make it work. It creates a little future pain but it is manageable. I understand the thougjt process of not spending money if you don’t have to, knowing it worked fine last year. But that was more a strategic choice versus it being impossible to afford anyone.
And with the reality sinking in that kelce may be on his final legs, the idea of mortgaging our future has changed. we don’t need to sell the farm to do it, but we also don’t need to get too stuck on saving for a future rainy day
