Like....somehow that's not the absolute BEST thing we could possibly hope for?
I mean...what the actual ****?
So what if we overpay for a swing tackle/insurance policy for one season. I give zero ****s, and actually feel GOOD about the fact that we went from zero LT's on our roster to having TWO.

There’s also the business aspect side of things. Agents will always take advantage of Chiefs/Veach when it comes to protecting Mahomes. They know how valuable he is to the team and the NFL, so the price goes up. It’s business.
Agents will always try to get more.
If we pay top dollar to two elite tackles, I wonder what our cap situation would be like. I wonder what players we wouldn’t be able to retain.
You can’t just write checks in the NFL. Moore actually saved us a ton of money and has a lot of upside. Gotta navigate with what’s out there. We’ll be fine.
