Their C is still on his rookie deal; he's about to enter year 4.
If the Chiefs go, say Humphries/Suamataia-Thuney-Humphrey-Smith-Taylor as their OL configuration for 2025, you're talking about:
Rookie deal/small vet deal-Big FA deal-extension still under AAV-extension still under AAV-Big FA deal
or
1.5M/3m-$26M-11M-12M-26M
It's a lot of cheese, but I'd wager it's not all that different than the Eagles when it shakes out (and they may extend Jurgens before the 25 season, yet).

It may not be all of that difference from the Eagles in the end, but that goes back to my point that the Eagles OL is significantly better so we're paying just as much for an inferior product.
