After that you are talking about Allen, Burrow, Lamar, Herbert, the hilarity of Deshaun Watson all having huge deals.
I guess Trevor Lawrence has what 2 years? But that team isn't close and then it's down to guys like Stroud and Richardson. And if Miami pays Tua that team will be terrible.
So in a weird way the Chiefs run may get a bit easier in 2 years.

Other than the usual suspects, the teams that are positioned to give KC the most trouble in the near future are:
AFC
Texans (tons of cap space, have the QB, have a WR, have a franchise LT, have building blocks on D at DE and CB)
Colts (if Steichen can get dynamic play out of Richardson and they keep Pittman, lots of cap space, good offensive talent)
NFC
Packers (lots of young talent, seem to have the QB, good coach and GM, can create cap space for a big add on D)
Lions (have a lot of cap space; will they survive losing Ben Johnson?)
Bears (if they take Williams, he's as good as possible, and they spend the cap space and picks they get for Fields well, they could make a huge jump).
I think one of those NFC North teams is the rep in the SB for LIX. I'd pick the Packers right now.
