Brett Veach knew he had holes to fill. He was trying to do so on the fly even before the season was over.
When the Kansas City Chiefs general manager signed veteran Darrelle Revis with several regular season games left to play, press conferences made it clear that Veach had been calling all season long to lure the future Hall of Famer onto his team.
There was a reason for such repeated attempts to sign Revis and it had nothing to do with bringing in a strong veteran presence. It was an attempt to stop the bleeding that Veach apparently knew would happen on the outside opposite Marcus Peters.
