Will the Kansas City Chiefs re-sign Tyrann Mathieu?
Veach is right. The NFL salary cap creates some issues for Kansas City. The cap dropped in 2021 due to a $4 billion revenue hit caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. But the Chiefs spent significant money to overhaul the offensive line this spring and the 2022 salary cap will rise significantly thanks to $100 billion TV contracts.
Veach probably has learned a hard lesson in regards to signing aged vets with a load of Guaranteed and long term$$$. As much as I'd hate to see the Badger go his price wlli most likely exceed his worth in the Chief's mind. It'd mostly be in the Badgers hands on how cheaply is he willing to play for. He certainly is not making a big fuss about it all.
