Anyone feel this way? The beginning of the Mahomes era was filled with talent left over from the previous era with a big name guy added in (Frank Clark). Tyreek, Kelce and Chris were the best players on the team when Mahomes was drafted. They were the center pieces.

Now it seems like that’s being phased out. Tyreek is gone, Kelce is starting to decline a bit and is talking about retirement and Chris is gonna be traded bc he won’t budge from his asking price, he’ll be 30 and Mahomes will be extremely expensive starting next year. Long story short, $57 million from Mahomes + (at least) $20 million from Chris= $77 million from just 2 guys?? No way is that sustainable IMO.

I think phase 2 is starting to be in place. IMO it’s comprised of these young players: Nick Bolton, Trent McDuffie and George Karlaftis on defense. On offense it’s obviously Mahomes and…possibly Rice and maybe Pacheco (not sure we would pay him a 2nd contract).

Feels like now we need that receiver/TE of the future and will attack it in the Spring.

I think we are set up really well for the most part. Just need to keep drafting well, but this next year on offense. What do you guys think?

    We have enough talent on the DL to let chris walk if we wants the kind of money he wants.
