Outside of our superstar QB it’s a pretty average roster.
This draft is so huge for the future of this franchise. Veach needs to hit on these picks. We need to get a couple pass-rushers, WR and help in the secondary. |

What kind of user name is Phoneix ?
Did you mean to put Phoenix and you're an idiot and misspelled it and now stuck with it? What is Phone IX = Phone 9 ? Are you some cool rapper named Phone 9 ? Should we be impressed? Inquiring minds want to know! ![]()

Clark was a sunk cost. You can't get that money back.

I wonder how many GM's said it was stupid to sign a $9 safety before locking up your best player.
You give Hill an extra $6mil, you draft a S, and don't lose your best player on offense...

The truth is a bad Frank Clark contract locked up some cap. Pat could have converted like $16 million to give us space. They knew they were doing this. This wasn't a surprise they just want us to think it was...

Of course Hill wanted to be paid, he just went higher than The Chiefs felt it was prudent to go. Clark's contract is an issue, but it's sunk cost, and it helped get us a SB win, so whatever. It was almost as cheap to keep him now as to cut him, so who cares? The Chiefs aren't blowing any smoke up anyone's asses; they offered Hill a boatload, just not a big enough boatload. Converting Pat's deal forward is more of the old way. This is the New Way. The Old Way was Pat on a rookie deal, get the pieces you need at whatever cost and go win a SB. The New Way is-Pat's getting paid, be prudent with free agency, trade high when you can and stockpile picks to fill your roster with young, cost controlled talent. You're going to have to get used to it. This is how you stay a contender for decades. You don't do it making anyone other than Mahomes that huge chunk of your cap. Veach did the prudent, smart, ballsy move. He set a line and when that wasn't enough for Hill, he moved him for a king's ransom. The team overall is in much healthier shape now moving forward. We 'MIGHT' have a slight downyear, although I'm not conceding that at all. The next 5 years, however, should have a re-loaded Chiefs kicking the crap out of everyone else in the AFC that'll be entering cap hell because they were desperately trying to match us. I think it's brilliant. It's a big swing of a bet on our scouting, coaching, and front office-but it's the only way to really build a dynasty with the salary cap. It's what The Patriots did. This is The Way. |

I think people forgot about all the cap we gave up and all the picks we handed away to buy our 2-3 year window. But the nucleus of the team was built on solid drafts and finding great value free agents. And our dollars were spent not on long term stopgaps but short term guys who are only there until we can draft a replacement.
Losing tyreek hurts but our spending spree is not a sustainable way of winning. It’s a small risk but the reward to this approach is huge and reasonably achievable |

So are your planning to spend the rest of your life crying about it? And how should the fact that we only won a single SB during his rookie contract impact roster building going forward?
All you do anymore is bitch in hypotheticals. |
