I find it difficult to believe that so many of you guys are "in-the-box" thinkers.
It took Sammy almost a full year to learn the playbook including the entire route tree as well as the specialty plays. Then ... he recommitted himself to rehabbing whatever the hell is wrong with his lower body during the off-season. Then ... he demonstrated time and again his speed, his hands, and his clutch gene.
Yes, under his current contract, he is overpaid given his position in the skill player pecking-order. However, I should like to point out that "23 Jet Chip Wasp" probably doesn't work without Sammy. A receiver with lesser off-the-line speed, hands, and route-running ability would NOT have threatened the left corner with the in-route at the sticks as dramatically.
So let us consider this;
Sammy has moved his young family to KC. He likes it here. He appreciates the training staff, the coaches, his teammates, and the success (something he's never experienced in the pros).
I believe his interest in all things metaphysical combined with a desire to play with Mahomes will motivate him to cut a team-friendly deal with Veach. Of course, I'm guessing, but I don't think he wants to start all over with another team if it can be avoided. On top of all that, Mahomes trusts him.
I think some of you guys underrate the only Reptile Solar Being on our roster.
