Yeah - we played the cards we had and got boned on the River; shit happens.
Veach handled it correctly, though I guess you could argue that you should've extended Jones concurrently with a Hill trade (a year early prior to his career year shouldn't have been impossible) but its hard to know if that was something Jones was open to.
Mahomes/Kelce made the offense go more than Hill - if you had to pick only 3 guys from that roster to keep for the next 3 seasons, I think Veach picked the correct 3. And if they keep Hill and trade Jones, even for the same return as Hill (which seems unlikely), you likely STILL don't win a SB last season as Jones was absolutely vital in the post-season.
So I can't see any reason for loud complaint, really.
