If you want to go down a high level rabbit hole about how we matched them late in the game you can see us do that on a couple key plays. If the Chiefs had another WR at an above average level it’s pretty easy to say you flat out aren’t stopping them. The Chiefs have stayed looking for a high level 3rd receiver enter Sammy Watkins, Mecole Hardman for a 1st, trying to sign JuJu to play in the slot last off season, etc. They will once again this off-season be on the hunt for their 3rd receiving option.
It’s a straw man argument because again there is plenty of financial flexibility to tackle the O line. This idea his money is somehow stopping this is wrong and simply spreadsheet watching without taking into account the ramifications of such a move. In all honesty, his salary isn’t even out of line for his production or skill as Nelson Agohlor signed a deal last off season at 11 million per year.
The idea is that his position is not as his of a priority as a talented olineman, DT or even CB1. Look at all the slot guys Brady used and he didnt have Chase and Tee. We dont need a $10M slot, we just need a speedy or possession receiver who can catch.
Tee is not Chase or Tee great or as valuable. In his biggest game for the team he made huge errors. But I am more concerned over his position more than I am him as a player (if he were Kupp or Hill valuable that would be different).
This is an opinion-based debate, teams do things differently obviously and we have differing views. Its all good. I simply think a very solid oline with Burrow, Chase and Tee we can be very good with a better than average slot, TE and RB to be honest.
