If you did this, could you pick up the 5th year option?

You could have him for 10 mil and then 17 mil then you'd have a potential tag year or an extension.

I would, but I'm loathe to deprive Veach of draft picks. I'd trade a 2nd for that, but I'd like the Commanders to attach a 5th to him on the way back. Veach is in the zone.

It wouldn't be $10 million though, right? Washington would be on the hook for his prorated bonus. That means his 2023 cap hit for the Chiefs would be roughly $5.5 million.

2023 - $5.5 million
2024 - $17.5 million

By that time, you're probably looking at Jones moving towards the end of his extension (if Veach goes 3 years). Thuney is probably gone because of his cap hit. Kelce will be 36 and have a cap hit of almost $20 million. Not sure if he'll just retire at that point...or how long he wants to play.

Yeah, I can't imagine you're extending Kelce at that point and Thuney is probably gone.

Money wise they could make it work.
