While true, we have improved the defense. I think that is a big factor. We have talent at WR. Unproven, sure, but I think this group is more talented than is being suggested here. Sure, I have concerns about Toney's health. but I also think MVS has a lot more to show than people give him credit. I guess we will have to see what happens.

Hopkins could have saved a lot of issues if he'd been honest which was..."Yes I'd like to play for a contender but I'm not taking less money to do that"
So he apparently thought one of the good teams would give him what he thought he was worth and well they didn't. |

The Chiefs at +600 are considered about 15% likely to win the SB. Just doing some quick math and Vegas has the percentages at roughly: Chiefs: 15% Eagles: 12% Bills: 10% 49ers: 10% Bengals: 9% Cowboys: 5% jets: 4% Ravens, Lions, Jags, Dolphins, Chargers: 3% Seahawks, Browns, Saints, Vikings, Broncos, Giants, Raiders: 2% Everyone else: 1% or less I mean there's fiddling in the margins based on the individual sportsbook, but Vegas has 4 teams at/above 10% chances of winning the SB this year. 10-20% is pretty much a spot on representation of where the Chiefs are presently falling in betting lines. |

OR Veach never gave Hopkins an offer at all.

Breer also provided insight into the Chiefs’ pursuit of Hopkins. The defending Super Bowl champions were long mentioned as a potential destination, in spite of their cap constraints. Before the draft, Breer notes, Kansas City offered a base salary of $4MM with incentives pushing the contract’s maximum value to $10MM. Hopkins was thought to be waiting for the Chiefs to free up money via a Chris Jones extension, but his Tennessee agreement has come before any developments on that front. Even with manufactured cap space for this season, Kansas City likely would not have realistically been able to outbid Tennessee. Not necessarily gospel, but the most information I've seen on the matter. |

Thus Veach probably didn't offer anything to Hopkins as a free agent and the "Chiefs stayed in contact with Hopkins" could have very easily been "We are interested but will need to get Jones contract done before we give you an offer". |

Right the odds to win the SB are much higher if you're going against a particular team but if you're going against the field 15% is pretty great odds.
