The Chiefs are finally built to compete in the modern era of NFL (passing oriented) football.

And if Andy wanted to run it 25 times and own the TOP, well, we can do that too...

I think Veach put all the gauranteed money in the first 2 years. Probably gave him a hell of a signing bonus. Bet this years cap hit is decent while next years is $16 million and 2019 is >$16 million with a clean way out.

2) It's 2018. Did you see the Super Bowl? The league is ****ing Tecmo Bowl. I'm ALL about loading up on offense. It'd be nice if we didn't suck so bad on D, and had infinite resources to improve it, but I love this move.

At least we might be great on one side of the ball now. For years we've been somewhere between bad to "pretty" good on either side of the ball, depending on which season, never elite. Never scary. No one's ever afraid of our offense or defense.

Maybe now we'll start curbstomping some fools ... or at least score A SINGLE POINT IN A WHOLE HALF OF A PLAYOFF GAME.

Well, I wouldn't say spending on the cap is based on an owners willingness to spend. Nobody actually cheats the cap. Dollars get accounted for one way or the other. As long as we hit the cap every year, Clark is spending as much as he can. It's more about being conservative or aggressive, and we've usually been too conservative.

Can you imagine the first play of the regular season....Andy says to Hill and Watkins....both of you run a fly pattern....Pat, the first guy 2 steps behind his receiver gets the pass.

LOL Mahomes is going to shuffle pass it to Kelce for an 8 yard gain.

Yep he will be off the books prior to extending Mahomes or Hunt.

And gives us two years to draft/develop his replacement.

The important thing is that other than some O line depth our franchise QB is wanting for nothing.

There is NOTHING our young QB needs that he doesn't have...

I hope Watkins is so good here we re-sign him to another 3-4 year deal in a couple years.

ModSocks · 03-13-2018, 10:09 AM

16M Per. Ouch. Oh well. I hope it works out well.

Randallflagg · 03-13-2018, 10:15 AM

Loading up the offense for Mahomet....good deal!! Now, how about the defense?

Well - they are signing Hitchens from Dallas. He can play. Pretty good run stuffing LB. So, it's a start!

Mosbonian · 03-13-2018, 10:23 AM

Funny how some were screaming at Veach for the Marcus Peters trade.....now we all love him again after these moves today.
