I'd rather pay Burrow and Chase and put Higgins money towards defense and or protection towards Burrow if it was my call. Everyone wants to talk about how little the two superbowl Champs were paying there running backs but the Chiefs didn't have any big contracts in the receiving department. Outside of Kelce who Chase could be our # 1 target.

That's a fair point...but you have to be able to actually sign an elite lineman with the money freed up. There aren't many elite lineman out there in free agency.

I think Burrow would be a great QB with only 1 elite WR and then some above average receivers, but I'm not 100% sure it's a given. But, if you put an elite O-line in front of him, I think it's 100% given he'd be an elite QB in that scenario. IF that makes sense.

ie You probably don't need 2 elite WR's if you have an elite line. That seems to be the model that a lot of teams use that pay a QB a large portion of their cap to win.
