So when does Clark Hunt start talking to Veach about an extension? Just make it a lifetime contract. Veach has literally told us what he wants to do with each player and he follows through on his word. No BS. If he told me tomorrow that they would cut the whole team and sign the entire Bengals roster I somehow believe we would win the super bowl. Veach has my 100% trust. This is what a perfectly run franchise looks like. No disgruntled players on the team. Veach let’s his players know that if you ball out we will re sign you. Just be patient!! Jones showed up last year to training camp and didn’t hold out. Veach told him he wants him in KC for a long time and boom what happens a deal gets done. I can’t find a single flaw in Veach. Not one. He manages the cap like a wizard, he brings players in that contribute. He will be in the HOF when it’s all said and done [Reply]

Could any have you ever imagined someone posting this on CP and not being immediately eviscerated? [Reply]

I use "trading" in quotes because IMO, it was either that or a keel haul.
Remember ... when that happened, many fans were pissed off as hell because they valued Peters and we did not yet know what we had in Mahomes.
Veach knew, however ...
He knew that (going forward) this was Mahomes' locker room and Peters was going to be a distraction and would eventually become a plague on our house.
Today, we have a culture that not only values winning, it values teamwork and brotherhood among the players and coaches.
Rare.
And possible (at least, in part) because Veach was confident that showing Peters the egress was the best move at the time.

Not only that but the corners on our roster left a lot to be desired at the time, our secondary also was our weakest part of the defense. Trading away Peters who was widely regarded as our best CB at the time was not a popular move.
Veach hasn't missed much while being the GM of the KC Chiefs- only move that I think was a bad misfire was Breeland Speaks but who gives a shit since the good heavily outweighs the bad. [Reply]

Not high on Speaks, but we still don't know what we have in him. Kpass looked great once he was out of Uncle Bob's clusterfuck. [Reply]

As some of you know, I won a charity auction at the last Big Slick in June 2019. As I was outside the Sprint Center getting an Uber with my friends, a man approached me with his wife.
"Hi, I'm Brett Veach, GM of the Kansas City Chiefs, and I really liked your style in there."
"Uhm, I know who you are."
We then spent a good 20 minutes on the side talking about the Chiefs. I asked him about the Tyreek situation. He gave me some details which I can't repeat but said, "Max 2 game suspension. Probably not even that." I asked him about the trade for Frank Clark and whether he felt he could get that production from a certain prospect who tested well in the combine. "Well, that guy wasn't even on our draft board for health reasons. But man, no one in OTAs can block Frank Clark." He then took his iPhone out and he was showing me video of Clark dominating in practices. We talked the draft class. We talked Mahomes. I only regret not asking him about Dorsey.
I think he was buzzed. I was hammered and it shows in the pictures. Veach is like if any of us ever became GM and we're just really fucking good at what we do and excited to be doing it. [Reply]
