Does Phase 3 of the Mahomes era start tomorrow?

[Chiefspants]

I’ve decided that whether or not we start Phase 3 is dependent on what we do in the offseason.

If Kelce returns, and we resign Smith, Bolton and another stopgap at LT (the latter would surprise me), we’re re-upping another year in Phase 2.

If Veach has a post 2018, post 2020 or post 2021 offseason where he moves on from beloved players and moves around significant resources to bring in a LT, we’re in Phase 3.

I think it will hinge on Kelce.

If he retires or you make an unkind cut, you have 20 more million to play with and you can do a hard reset.

If you bring him back you're standing pat, sinking all your offseason chips into a LT, and going for it again with mostly the same cast.
