The point is that Taylor was overpaid. Big time. He's being paid like a top-5 tackle. He's not that good though. He's also VERY un-clutch. Backbreaking penalties. On that 4th and 15, Kelce is open and he gives up pressure with Mahomes getting hit on the arm. His contract makes it harder to accomplish other signings. If he was playing better it would be easier to justify it. Imagine the Patriots overpaying for this dude during their dynasty. |

It’s not some unattainable number. You just defer some money a few years out on other contracts. Mahomes literally has an option every year where we can do it. When it became too late to use mahomes money, we restructured thuney.
These are short term deals with no strings attached. They aren’t nearly the boogeymen some make it to be |

We have to stop kicking the can down the road. That is the reason we were strapped now. Thuney has a HUGE number. Mahomes is now getting to where it is going to cost almost $ 70 million for just one year. |

I don't think he went into it quite like that. I do think you're right in that he did choose to upgrade RT first. But I also feel that he thought the CJ thing was going to get resolved sooner, rather than later, so he could free up money to do other things. CJ's camp knew this and waited for the right time to gain leverage, and held the team hostage. Then we were screwed. I think had CJ not shown his ass, Veach would have been able to "upgrade" RT and sign Hopkins. Just my opinion.

We are really getting to that level now. The Chiefs are amongst the first teams trying to navigate these waters for the first time with a QB taking this much of the cap. The Bills, Bengals, Ravens and Chargers are starting that process now.

And his cap hits are 4mil for this year and 16mil next year. I don't know why we're acting like that's a lot for what he can bring you. Dude is on track for 1000+ yards with a broken Tannehill, Malik Willis, and Will Levis throwing to him. Meanwhile the guy who has a cap hit of $11mil still doesn't have 300 yards with the best QB to ever play the game. |
