Kareem Hunt-rookie contract 3 more years Pat Mahomes-rookie contract 3 more years w/ 5th year option The Chiefs can afford to pay for someone they want. If Elway didn’t draft a bust 1st rd QB, he would have had $18 million to play with this spring. Instead he had to use that $18 million to fix his epic draft miss. |

They are going to be forced to play zone every single play bc they can’t afford to play man coverage. |

Unless they're a legit, franchise QB players rarely live up to these mega contracts. Has Justin Houston and Eric Berry lived up to their contract? At least they showed some elite production before they got paid, and neither of them have the injury history of Sammy. That being said, I think Andy Reid has a good plan for Watkins, and if he stays healthy, he should have a good year. I'm not expecting him to have 1,300 yards or anything but 900-1,100 wouldn't shock me. Keenum is the 19th highest paid QB in the league, not a bad price for the 7th highest rated QB in 2017 (Keenum was 2nd in Total QBR btw). |

Mahomes is coming into this year with Watkins on one side, Hill on other other, Hunt behind him and Kelce tearing up the middle. All while having Reid drawing up the offense. I can't think of an instance like that where a young QB gets rolling with that level of speed, talent and coaching all lined up at once. If Mahomes is who we think he will be once he gets paid they're going to have to rely on more young guys, so this is probably the most talent he'll ever have around him in KC over the next 2 years. And it's why Keesum won't have much talent around him, cause his highest paid backup QB in the league contract has priced Denver out of the market for elite offensive weapons. |

That's all he's got. "Nyeh, the Chiefs overpaid Watkins by about 2 million annually." Its better than trying to convince himself that Kareem Hunt was the 6th or 7th best back taken out of his class, I guess.

Watkins was a solid signing by KC, he'll fit in very well there with the new direction of the passing attack. Anyone that argues differently is just ignoring reality because of the logo.
Will KC become an unstoppable offensive juggernaut? That remains to be seen... bright future though. |

Matt Cassel was a top 5 QB in 2008 according to total yards and QBR
Then he went to a bad Chiefs team and tanked. Expect the same from Keenum |

If we have a respectable defense at all, I expect the SB window to be wide open the next three years. |
