I think people need to cool their jets with the "Maybe Veach will sign somebody after preseason cuts or work out a trade!"
It's just not likely to happen. Occasionally it does, but for teams like us who are going into a season with holes in the roster (on defense), how often do they work out a trade or a signing that fixes that shit right up?
Not very often. Not even among aggressive GMs like Veach.
The Chiefs knew what they had last year in Mahomes. They saw it. So yeah, they certainly did make some changes to improve the defense after the 4th preseason game! They signed Orlando Scandrick, Ron Parker, and traded for Charvarious Ward!
Whoop de damn doo! I mean, the Ward trade was pretty nice because we gave up a player we were just never going to use, but we barely touched him at all the entire season, and the whole point of people hoping Veach is going to pull a trade out of his ass that's going to fix something critical we lack on defense is so we can plug in that help immediately and be a much much better team in the short term.
The NFL isn't a magical world full of cinnamon bun-farting unicorns where all of your dreams come true. It's bitter and shitty and doesn't smell like cinnamon buns in the slightest. You can throw coins in a fountain and wish upon a star all you want, but if that wish comes true, you're only gonna get Orlando Scandricks and Ron Parkers.
That's life.
