There’s a plan. There is always a plan.
Just last week, Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach admitted the team was preparing to go to work around a rookie contract at quarterback back in 2017. There was never going to be a quarterback controversy no matter what Alex Smith did or did not do on the field that season. There was a plan.
While a few teams will show that they operate without a set long-term plan (best illustrated by the Cleveland Browns’ inept leadership for, well, the duration of the franchise’s existence), the Chiefs are among the NFL teams you can expect to operate with a long-term plan.
