But we've said for years that sooner or later Mahomes will have to do more and more as his contract gets more and more expensive. And some of those sacrifices have obviously been made with his weapons. The next may well be on the IOL.
I've actually been pretty shocked by the Chiefs willingness to cut corners at OT given Reid's history with the shell concept. But I feel like this may be similar to how they've handled WR over the next year or two. They'll look for solid veteran stopgaps while dedicating additional resources in the draft to rebuilding the depth chart.
Honestly I still wonder if that's not why they're seemingly opposed to Wanya Morris at LT - I think they really would like to see him take over for Smith at RG. And I think that would be a pretty nice little move for KC.

Yeah, we have to resign those two even if they get paid as the highest in the game. They are the best C and K in the game.
How many times has Butker made a long kick to save the game or give Mahomes another shot to win? Thats sooo valuable. Look what happened to Buffalo....wide right on an average kick length. We all assume the guy is going to make it when he lines up.
