Using one game without Kelce (against a team that is currently on a 9-2 run) as proof that a team should invest literally 50% of the cap (cap is $224 million, Joe has a $55 mil avg and assuming Chase + Tee is in the combined $55 mil avg ballpark) is kinda silly.
Lets say the Chiefs had kept Tyreke Hill and instead lost some of their key defenders to make way for his contract. Are we then talking about a 31-30 loss to the Lions instead of a 21-20 loss? It's hard to say. People who make these statements aren't accounting for who the Chiefs would've lost. They just look at the Chiefs current roster and add Tyreek Hill and assume the Chiefs would've won.
If we sign Burrow, Chase and Higgins all to big contracts, we won't know the impact on the rest of the roster for a few years. It may sound nice in our minds because we know they are all great players, and we don't know who we'll lose. Kind of ironic that the twitter guy says that people are being myopic when he's the one not looking ahead.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
