Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 974: 973 Magic Magic

Since the Super Bowl ended, the Kansas City Chiefs’ management team has been holding meetings non-stop to finalize this offseason’s task list—

Renewing Li Wei’s contract.

This is the very first item on the lengthy task list, and also the most important one.

Perhaps outsiders may find this unbelievable—a running back? Really?

Despite Li Wei’s undeniable excellence; despite his groundbreaking presence redefining the running back position within and beyond the league, thrusting it back into the spotlight.

However, for now, the overall league trend hasn’t been completely overturned—passing dominates, quarterbacks’ value remains higher than running backs, and wide receivers, offensive linemen, and defensive linemen have seen their market values rise as well.

To outsiders, losing linebacker Ford while signing defensive end Frank to an even larger contract seems unwise from a salary cap control perspective.

True professionals, however, wouldn’t see it that way. The rising value of defensive linemen and declining value of linebackers were key considerations in the Chiefs’ transaction—they didn’t lose out but rather gained on this deal. Clearly, Brett Veach had a plan.

So yes, the quarterback position remains unshakable.

This is a fact Veach is acutely aware of, and he isn’t trying to challenge the league’s norms—trading Ford and bringing in Frank is direct evidence of that.
