Just last summer KC parted ways with Tyreek, presumably because he and Mahomes couldn't co-exist on the same payroll. Adams-Rodgers, same thing. At this point in history QB1s and WR1s are arguably the most overpaid of all positions.
I'm no capologist but I do know it'll be tough to juggle those two contracts (Burrow and Chase). To say nothing of keeping Tee Higgins as well. Not saying it can't be done, just that it'll be tough. It's why I personally find a deal like this (for Will Anderson Jr) so intriguing. It partly gets us out from under the weight of extending all these guys at the same time. But it also presupposes that Anderson will be a star- which is a gamble. Whereas we already know what Tee is.
Either way, if this team wants to compete on a sustainable basis they'll need to stagger the deals- one way or the other... and sooner than later.
Adams left GB after 8 years and KC traded Tyreek after being there for 6 year and mostly through his 2nd contract. It's not like they both left after their rookie counlikely.
KC got an absurd haul for Hill who was likely going to be gone after this year anyways.
It's not just Tee that we're losing in this proposal though but also multiple other picks. Which is what makes it so unliked.
