Several months into his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs general manager, Brett Veach has proven himself to be decisive despite John Dorsey’s looming shadow. He quickly traded away the team’s starting quarterback Alex Smith in the days before the Super Bowl, and also jettisoned Marcus Peters when it was clear the team wasn’t going to re-sign the star cornerback after this year.
Since then Veach has signed linebacker Anthony Hitchens to a big money deal in free agency, brought in Sammy Watkins as his 1A receiver and allowed team legends Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson to leave.
