Thats going to decide the next version of the Mahomes era. I think Veach will play it safe and protect the moneymaker. He is now and will be next year the highest paid player in the league. No more discount anymore for other players.

Sure seems Veach is following a version of the Billicheck/Brady model:

Elite QB
Great O-Line
Good defense
JAG's at WR and RB's
Don't give players past 30 new contracts
