We have also had the DE spot eating up over $20M for years that we don't now. For a couple of years before we traded Hill he was hitting the books for over $16M.
I think its not a matter of having the highest payroll for the tackle position in the NFL, which Veach did with Schwartz and Fisher BTW, I think its just moving those funds around.
Veach let Frank go and its pointing to young and cheap at DE....Veach went young and cheap at corner....Veach traded Hill and spread out the funds.
I believe that Cap space for BOTH Tunsil and Taylor is not a concern for Veach at this point. I think its more on the asking price from the Texans on a trade.
Just makes sense to me:
Veach has history of paying the tackle position more than another team in the NFL
Veach has history of going big at the OL weak spots
Veach has history of moving cap around to make things work
Veach has history of trading for stud players and paying them
We ALWAYS hear that teams should protect the QB, protect the best player on the team. How could we be upset if Veach pays out for the best OL in the NFL to protect Mahomes and give him more time to be Mahomes?
PAY to PROTECT and Draft well!!!
