it’s crazy.
I never thought the Chiefs. MY CHIEFS. would make a Super Bowl EVER.
And they’ve made five. And they’re trying to win their third in a row.
Soak it up KC. enjoy it. Never going to be better than this.

At $20M in space here, KC would still be without:
Watson, Kelce, Cook, Hunt, Chenal, Pacheco, Brown, Thornton,JuJu, Omenihu, Tillery, Pennel, and Nnadi
Going to be an offseason of tough decisions and KC paying the bill on some of the missteps they’ve made over the past couple of summers.

Where does Veach look next?
Easy calls:
Taylor -7M dead money, +20M cap savings
Danna -2M, +9M
Post 15 restructure and these two moves, KC would be at ~20M in space.
Further Discussions for more room:
Tranquill -1.5M, +6M

KC is currently $43M over the cap with just 36 players on 2026’s roster
Good news, there’s flexibility there to restructure: Mahomes (44M of his current 78M cap hit) & Jones (23M of his current 45M cap hit)
You assume Mahomes restructure is almost guaranteed, that’s when the hard convo kicks in..

And then the Riot Inducer:
McDuffie trade - 0 dead money, 13M in cap savings, plus you’d expect he would fetch a solid+ asset back.
An easy button for Veach to free up flexibility with an ownership group not typically willing to spend a lot of dead money or use void years to get creative.

have to wonder if Veach’s poor prioritization and paying Spags’ favorites above their skill level may cost KC McDuffie this offseason.
Certainly don’t think you can pay him and Watson. Unfortunate that you lose great players because KC has been focused on rewarding the wrong things

I was four days early
Offensively, need a 2021 esque reset from a playcalling perspective. Running back investment.
Defensively, this defensive line room is tragic and needs to be fixed. This linebacker room is slow.

That feels like it.
What a calamitous season.
Time for Veach and Andy to reset.

Thursday is likely too soon but hard to see how Pierce wouldn’t be an upgrade over Mitchell/CEH in the short term
I can confirm the Chiefs are planning to sign RB Dameon Pierce to the practice squad. @schultzreport.bsky.social had it first. Pierce will fly into Kansas City Monday for a physical and sign if all goes well.
