I would say that type of money ($28-36 million) would drastically help the Left Tackle situation in Kansas City.
Other examples…
2024: Niners outspent KC by $40 million
2024: Cleveland outspent KC by $37 million
2024: Miami outspent KC by $25 million
2024: Jacksonville outspent KC by $24 million
2023: Cleveland outspent KC by $53 million
2023: Baltimore outspent KC by $52 million
2023: Buffalo outspent KC by $42 million
2023: Houston outspent KC by $42 million
2023: NY Jets outspent KC by $40 million
It’s absolutely hilarious that so many of these teams failed despite the big money approach.

Clark is lowering Mahomes cap hits through restructuring with his own money every year.
The bottom line is always drafting and finding great players. Baun and Becton were amazing low cost value home runs. Quinyon and DeJean were the steals of the draft. That’s a major reason they won.
The Chiefs also never pick early like the Eagles. They got Jalen Carter and DeVonta Smith with top 10 picks
