It's the path of least resistance.
Overpaying your LT by 20% may hurt your ability to supplement the roster somewhere, but it's unlikely to sabotage your season.
Whereas swinging and missing on a replacement in the draft or FA could undermine the whole damn thing.
The former isn't the sort of thing that would ever get a GM fired. The latter sure could.
I suspect you're right that Veach won't take that kind of gamble. I don't like it, but it is what it is.
