My view of the salary cap before this was we had 2-3 more years to push to win rings with the crew before we needed to purge cap and reload.

I think Veach saw the writing on the wall, that our pass rush was likely to be even worse this year, and trying to **** the same chicken on offense with the rest of the AFC taking leaps forward wasn't going to do them any favors.
This move lets the Chiefs get stronger on defense in the short and long term, and reload the other skill positions on offense.
They took all their eggs out of one basket and distributed them.
It hurts to lose Tyreek but it's a calculated risk that you can see why they made it.
This also staggers the separation from Tyreek and Kelce which was likely going to happen at some point anyway.
This offense was going to go through some real growing pains if they had to get rid of both guys in the same year. Now they can ease that transition somewhat.
