I was a little worried that Veach caved and paid so much, but as the chips keep falling it's pretty clear why he did it. There was literally no other choice.

There are worse problems to deal with compared to overpaying your Hall of Fame DT to be a Chief for life.
And yeah, the thought of having to line up AGAINST Chris Jones in a Raider or Texans uniform is soooooo much worse than the alternative of just paying him.
