And a lot of this logic is built around the idea that we need to save for 5 years from now instead of riding the Reid and Kelce primes. Our window is red hot right now.
Youre basically resting all your hopes in a WR1 who is frequently injured which means we're a heartbeat away from skyy being WR1. Yeah, no. Skyy can thrive in the slot and prove his way into WR2. If you worry about toneys health you will still find plenty of snaps for rice and a chance for skyy to work in an elevated role. You can give justyn Ross a full year to prove he can stay healthy. And mvs becomes more a role player. We have lots of potential but also a lot of HUGE question marks which can be solved by a simple bandaid so you don't have to bleed out before it gets better. Because if any of these dominoes fall.. if toney doesn't stay healthy, skyy underwhelms in an elevated role, rashee isn't NFL ready yet, the dominoes can fall very quickly.

They don’t need to save money for 5 years from now. They need to save money to give the 2nd contract nucleus guys they’ve drafted and want to keep. The chiefs have invested in the offense. Theyve got highly paid and highly drafted guys everywhere on it.
And it’s not 20 million dollars and you can cut a guy a year later. You’re taking that this year with money into next year and a guy that is likely gonna want an extension so yeah, you can’t just “cut him whenever you want”
It’s just not gonna happen.
