Brett Veach, the Kansas City Chiefs’ general manager, is responsible for constructing a roster that enhances the team’s competitiveness every year. He’s also expected to extend the team’s Super Bowl window. This demanding task requires a delicate balance of strategic and assertive moves and prudent fiscal management.

The Kansas City Chiefs are known across the league for playing every game around its players. So, it’s quite a surprising statistic that the team that plays football the most around its players isn’t the biggest spender when it comes to the salary caps of their players.

The other teams have pushed the Kansas City Chiefs down

If the Kansas City Chiefs overcome the Baltimore Ravens in the upcoming game, they could appear for the fourth Super Bowl in five years. A crucial element in the Chiefs’ sustained success lies in the strategic selection of Patrick Mahomes as the 10th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Mahomes’ presence on the roster has fortified the team and positioned them as contenders at the highest echelons of the league.

For this reason, the Chiefs spend 25.2% of their salary caps on the quarterback position. Still, after spending $45 million, they’re placed second as their rival Ravens had spent $52 million. Reportedly, the Chiefs had spent $178 million on their starting lineups but were left behind by the Ravens, who spent $224.5 million, while the San Francisco 49ers spent $235.9 million. However, they were one step ahead of the Detroit Lions, who only spent $151.5 million.
