Well for one they didn't sign their version of Chase, they traded him and have signed a bunch of cast off WRs and won with their QB being great.

They invested in some areas while replacing most the skill positions with a revolving door of draft picks and retreads. The exception being Kelce which makes sense since he is on his own level at TE.

The 5 highest paid players on their team, QB, DT, LT, G, DE.

Then Kelce, then a safety.

That's how they navigate it, throw the money at both lines and QB and then let you QB elevate the play of retreads and rookies. It's the smart way to win.
