And yes, because you can move the money around to make it work and create 19.8mm elsewhere. That has implications for future seasons and future decisions, sure. But this does as well.
And yeah, if he leaves next year and we get nothing, we at least have a real possibility of a compensatory pick. Because next offseason we’re very likely to lose some high value player otherwise in Bolton, Creed, or Smith which would make us more likely to actually realize the compensatory third.

No its a 3rd. Assuming we keep the pick, KC will be picking a player in the 3rd round next year with that pick. Not the 4th round. I dont care what comparison values say, its literally a 3rd round pick. Potentially a high 3rd rounder.
And you have yet to explain how Veach could simply move money around to create $19.8MM this year. Explain exactly how to do that and how to do it without pushing the can down the road to where it hits us later.
Then you mention Creed, Smith, and Bolton who all need paid soon which actually shows we need the $ more than we needed the player.
And there is zero guarantee we get equivalent to a 3rd round compensatory pick next year.
We also still have a ton of roster holes to fill.
Its 1 player in a crowded room vs many players long term. Its that simple.
