I haven't started a thread in many years, but I was thinking this morning (after searching to find one of these type of threads on here) about the Chris Jones scenario. And it would seem to me based on what we know about Veach and Reid, that we shouldn't be concerned.
The ability this team now has to find and develop talent is OTHERWORLDLY.
Chris Jones is an AMAZING talent, but what's the difference between $25m and $30m at the end of the day? Not THAT much. He's set. Jones is just pissed off that the Chiefs didn't sign Frank Clark, so he's being a bitch about it.
But Brett Veach ALWAYS finds a great talent to replace whoever is in there.
He found Patrick Mahomes II and begged the Chiefs to draft him.
The way he assembles teams is something we've never seen in KC and maybe never before seen even in the NFL. And he was born in 1977, IIRC.
So, In Veach I Trust. He will be a pro football Hall of Famer, IMO.
What are some of your favorite things that Veach has done that you'd like to thank him about? [Reply]
I feel like CJ comes back, somehow, and so does LJS. WR is a cheap flyer/draft issue. Gay likely walks unless he doesn't get too much on the open market. [Reply]

I expect a WR in FA and at least one in the draft.
I kinda wonder if we might find some sweetheart deal with Tyron Smith so we don’t have to reach for a tackle in the draft. If/when he gets hurt, we roll with Wanya. I’m sure Smith would love to end his career with a ring. [Reply]
