Brett Veach is one of the rare general managers in the league who is loved by their team’s fan base. Veach’s forward-looking attitude has made sure that the Kansas City Chiefs are always one step ahead of the curve.
The GM’s latest move to free up $5.3 million of cap space has brought a twinkle in the eyes of Chiefs fans. They suspect, apart from DeAndre Hopkins, another person will be joining their roster soon.
Brett Veach Has $5.3 Million in Hand To Spend for the Chiefs
The Chiefs shocked the footballing world as they grabbed Hopkins. The addition of the veteran helps their precarious injury situation and provides a mentor for the young wide receivers.
However, ESPN’s NFL reporter Field Yates on X (previously Twitter) outlined the back-to-back champions’ moves after the Hopkins trade. “With cap space tight after the DeAndre Hopkins trade, the Chiefs restructured the contract of OT Jawaan Taylor by converting salary into a signing bonus, creating $5.3M in 2024 room,” he posted.

Chiefs fans were in a frenzy and couldn’t help but applaud Veach. “Brett Veach at work again. He’s cooking up something. Will probably come next week, but the door is open for another move to take place. Maybe another receiver?” replied one fan.

Brett Veach Is Building a Formidable Unit Around Patrick Mahomes
Patrick Mahomes has wowed NFL fans with his skills for several years. However, this season, the QB’s game is noticeably different. He has 1,389 yards for six TDs and eight interceptions this season. While his stats are not his usual best, the QB remains undefeated at 6-0.
“There’s been a lot of turnovers, especially by me,” confessed Mahomes. “So, I think it’s just showing the versatility of our team. It’s not just about me. It’s not just about the stats and the light show and stuff like that. It’s about playing team football.”
Veach’s newest acquisition, Hopkins, will take the field against the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday. The division rivals will go head-to-head for the first time this season after challenges have already been made.
