And our cap hit went down from Chris Jones deal so no, he for sure didn't keep us from signing anyone.
Ok whatever. You literary just posted and blamed the Taylor over OBJ signing the reason for not being able to get a WR. So now your saying it wasn't?
Also we had I believe something like $300k or some even suggested negative cap when all the talk about Hopkins was going down.
To answer your other question. I truly believe that the rumors of Hopkins wanting to come to KC were true but knew it would not happen until Jones was figured out. Thats why he waited so long to sign with the Titans.
Regardless OBJ or Taylor had nothing to do with Veach getting a Vet WR like JuJu or Hopkins or anyone else. If anything a person could argue that Veach thought Jones deal would get done and going with Taylor over OBJ for about half the salary cap hit in 2023 was a bonus to go get a Vet WR to pair with the youngsters.

You can keep saying it but it doesn't make it true. You, and the other morons, have been told many many times that the window to move Mahomes money around had passed. Now :-) about this and move on you dumb fucking whiny little bitch ass. [Reply]

What window? Genuinely asking because they did go on to move Mahomes' money around after the Chris Jones deal. [Reply]

For them to open money via his previous mechanism, it had to have been done by a certain date.
They essentially did a new deal and moved that date to later if I'm remembering correctly, while moving money to increase his pay. It wasn't a "restructure" in the normal sense. [Reply]

They moved $12 million on March 15th. They could not go and revisit to move again without it affecting his new restructure. So the window was closed. [Reply]

Are you just making up rules as you go along? [Reply]
