Which was problematic to begin with: our actual offseason plan involves dumping a LT we literally went 26-1 with in order to try to outbid a half dozen other teams on the hottest free agent in the NFL — which we misjudged anyway.
We dropped the largest guard contract in league history for a really great guard. And we entered the offseason with gigantic holes at LT, WR, and DE. And we’re pretty much going to end up there.
It’s hard to imagine the long term ramifications of how dogshit this offseason has been. We cannot resteucture Mahomes, Kelce, or Jones every offseason. And we did it this year for mild returns at best.
And 2022 is going to be extraordinarily rough, as well. We had some tough holes to fill this offseason, and we failed to fill any of them, unless Veach has the best draft of his GM career. 2022 will offer more cap space, and somehow even more holes.

JFC you’re an idiot.
How do you even manage to breathe?
The Chiefs had no choice in the matter with Fisher. They cut him because they can’t rely on him. The injury and the timing forced their hand. They used that money to get the best G in free agency on a deal that will look like peanuts by the time Nelson gets his extension and the cap explodes. Then they went after the best LT and gave it their best shot.
How the **** was our “intel” wrong on Williams? Even Williams said he thought he was going to be a Chief at one point. This is revisionist history made up bullshit based on the outcome.
They got significantly better on the interior, they brought back a guy that was above average at RT last year, and they have a 3rd round pick from last year coming in that has legitimate 1st round talent. Aside from LT, the rest of the line is fine. LT was always going to be a question mark whether they didn’t cut Fisher or go after Williams.
They were patient and didn’t panic after missing on Williams, which led to them signing Jarran Reed, which will probably give us the best interior duo in the league defensively.
We also got a VERY cheap above average starting C in Blythe that should help out tremendously in the running game.
The Chiefs essentially have 2 of the top 5 WR’s in the league. The need for a WR is incredibly exaggerated because of the SB loss. If the OL is even above average Kelce and Hill do their thing like they did all season and this isn’t such an overblown need.
Yes, we absolutely need to add young talent at the position, but I’m almost certain they do that in the early rounds where they should be. This team needs to draft and develop WR’s every year. End of story. Free agency was nice when Pat was on a rookie deal. Other than the occasional 1 year deals, that’s over.
The need at DE has also been softened with the signing of Reed. It’s also entirely possible that the Chiefs aren’t done there and will sign Ingram or somebody else.
It couldn’t be more obvious that LT will eventually be addressed, but it also will be aided by the addition of Thuney. If we’re starting a rookie LT, he will be a godsend.
Get a ****ing grip dude. Veach is a million times better at this than you’ll ever be.
