How can we afford him?
We have $17 mil I. Cap this year But wow $8 mil for next year. We still have Smith and Bolten and other free agents |

Bolton's toast...the Chiefs decided an off ball LB that isn't a great cover guy is replaceable in today's NFL.

Bolton having a nagging wrist injury could be an issue this year. He was a different player in the 2023 playoffs than he was in 2022 (where he was disrupting almost every play).

Wonder if the higher AAV than expected is a way to maybe give Trey a very similar deal and keep both happy here. Rather than trying to do Creed at $15m, and Trey then at $20m — maybe you can have both at around $18.5m by getting Smith to take an almost identical deal to stay home.
Either way, had to get this one done. |

I didn't disagree they wouldn't sign him. I just didn't want them to. This is a severe overpay in an offense that does not need an elite center. Sure you want one but you dont wanna pay for one. They did what Mahomes wanted, which counts for something.

Veach and co. have this formula down to where it seems to be kinda predictable. In a good way nevertheless.
If you aren’t an elite, undoubted blue chip — you’re probably not getting paid here. Not market price anyhow. But if you are one of those top five-ish at your position, they’ll pay up accordingly. A nice balance to hopefully keep the short term and long term equally prioritized. |

Protect Mahomes! This is the number one goal. We can see if someone looks good to replace smith or we draft his replacement next year.
