Multiple top of market deals add up pretty quickly. They couldn't also pay for a top of the market WR and keep their defense intact. Hell, they couldn't afford to keep Sneed even with the discount WR corps. This is why most super bowl windows don't extend to infinity. If you resign people after a super bowl win they're not going to come cheap and if you let them go the turnover eventually eats away at your core.
Cheifsfags should have seen this coming but since most of them are lifelong fans of two years they don't understand shit about football and just thought it would be cake forever. Most of them will bail after Mahomes fails to win another super bowl this year.
