I wouldn’t be so sure about that.

I take this to mean Veach will sign a largish third contract if it either has team friendly outs or is a short enough duration. So the team isn't on the hook for a long time when the player really is getting up into that age where the play doesn't justify the money.
If this is his approach, I'm with him on this. Pats way blah blah.
Getting rid of players a little too soon generally is better than getting rid of them too late.
If the team really does need a WR1, for instance, to make up for Kelce in a couple of years, having a lot of money tied up in aging CJ may not be the best strategy.
