Veach interview on Rich Eisen Show

[CupidStunt]

Fascinating listen. He starts talking about the drafting of Pat around 5:20 which is great. Talks about how they were nervous after the Bears took Trub (THANKS BEARS) that there'd be a run on QBs and they couldn't higher than 10.

Basically we do a new contract this year, and the overall cap hit will be less, or put it off one more season to keep as many players as possible which will be a larger cap hit over the long term.

Is there any truth to this or do you guys think we pick up the option?

My thoughts:

I think Pat is going to want to wait for the new CBA because it will benefit him in the long run. I think the Chiefs don't mind because they get another cheap year. I Think they have this worked out verbally and no ones really worried about it. Either way Pat is getting PAID and he will be a Chief for the long haul. I personally don't care if they gave him half the cap, he's the best and he's a Chief. Deserves to be the highest paid QB ever. Dudes just awesome all around has no flaws in his character and little if any in his game. Brought us a championship, will probably bring us more.

I would love to take a pic of the Super Bowl confetti in the stairwell at Arrowhead, and send that pick to that POS Pioli

CJ is our Wilfork equivalent. Lock him up.

Veach’s acting on the “Randy Reid” piece was spectacular. I realize then how cool he was and how lucky we were to have him.

For us old timers, this is so refreshing in many different ways. Can you imagine Carl Peterson and his ego on that stage at the Super Bowl? It would’ve been a narcissistic nightmare.
