Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1554 - 1553: Grand Blueprint
In recent years, discussions around NFL players’ salaries have been incessant.
Though it ranks first among the Big Four leagues in North America, creating immense economic benefits annually, leading in ratings, impact, and more, completely overshadowing its competitors.
However, for various reasons, the league’s average salary and the highest salary are lower than those of its competitors; the enormous contracts in the NBA and MLB are simply insane. Plus, the commercial endorsement contracts are not even on the same level, resulting in football players facing ridicule.
Even the football players themselves are not immune, as the star wide receiver Little Beckham quipped, "Did I choose the wrong profession?"
However, the situation is now changing.
Previously, with Li Wei’s commercial contract figures increasing one by one, he aggressively topped Forbes’ global professional athlete rich list, becoming the League’s first man in the Big Four leagues of North America. This list has always been dominated by soccer, boxing, golf, and even tennis players, not NBA stars until Li Wei broke the shackles as a representative of the North American Big Four leagues.
And now, with Mahomes’ astounding contract reaching the pinnacle rewriting history, the NFL’s salary woes were swept into the trash heap, vindicating.
As the NFL League’s benefits rise yearly, the pace of increasing the hard salary cap is accelerating; Mahomes is just the first, as contracts equal to or exceeding Mahomes’ will become increasingly common, and the league will fully win its rightful status from teams to players.
History witnessed history’s birth again, and once more, it is the Kansas City Chiefs.
Calming down and thinking seriously, could it be Kansas City Chiefs again?
In an instant, everyone went crazy—
Four hundred seventy-seven million in guaranteed money, simply... inconceivable.
Moreover, astonishingly, a ten-year contract! An entire ten long years!
Following Li Wei, Mahomes also signed a ten-year contract, which means including the 2020 season, for the next eleven seasons, the partnership of Mahomes and Li Wei will be the stabilizer for the Kansas City Chiefs!
As long as both players remain healthy, the Kansas City Chiefs will be strong contenders for the Super Bowl every year!
Veach spent a whole year signing two contracts to secure the Kansas City Chiefs’ ten-year future. They will have ample time and salary space to continuously update the team roster, guaranteed to be Super Bowl contenders, truly laying the foundation for a dynasty.
This is truly astounding.
Mahomes stated, "I love Kansas City and am passionate about playing for Kansas City, where the rookie’s decision plays an indispensable role."
"I admit, I can hardly imagine playing for separate teams from the rookie. We entered the league together chasing dreams, and now we hope to fight side by side, leave our mark in the league, and face all challenges."
"I am ready."
Bang! Bang bang bang!
The entire league was turned upside down, stunned one by one.
Only now do they finally see Veach’s grand blueprint, and how the Kansas City Chiefs have repeatedly made history in just three years is absolutely not due to luck.
It all began at the 2017 draft.
That draft had Veach’s breathtaking moves unexpectedly causing a league earthquake, still echoing three years later, particularly after the Kansas City Chiefs’ three consecutive championships accomplishment, further admired for the miraculous stroke.
Yet, the truly astonishing part is that this stroke may establish the league’s next fifteen years’ format, Veach’s vision and pattern are beyond imagination—
Of course, different voices may express skepticism, Mahomes and Li Wei might get injured, their competitive state might decline, ten years is indeed too long, and potential possibilities and variables in between are uncontrollable.
Moreover, in the world of competitive sports, no one can win forever; it is truly unnecessary to panic over this contract.
Indeed, this is a fact.
But simultaneously, there is also a fact that for three seasons, Li Wei and Mahomes have countless times held their ground proving themselves, especially Li Wei, as a Chinese running back completely overturning the league’s format. Never look at them with ordinary eyes, as the skepticism, provocation, and attacks always become their motivation and fuel, striking back with spectacular performances.
Look at Gillette Stadium, during the New England Patriots’ twenty-year dynasty, they have never been so embarrassed and awkward; all because they provoked Kansas City Chiefs.
Furthermore, facts will speak for themselves—
The "Reed-Li Wei-Mahomes" iron triangle, from intelligence to tactics, from bravery to courage, they already possess the ability to write greatness and create miracles. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Maybe the Kansas City Chiefs cannot always win, but in the next ten years, no one can underestimate their existence, potentially surpassing the Belichick-Brady duo as dynasty founders.
Shocking!
It keeps spreading, as the entire league at every level is swept into this storm.
No one can be exempt!
But, to be fair, despite the shock, the league has mentally prepared themselves.
As early as when the Kansas City Chiefs completed their three consecutive championships, the alarm bells rang, the league teams awakened fully, one by one gearing up. They anticipated the Kansas City Chiefs would spare no effort to renew the team cornerstone quarterback Mahomes; maybe the only somewhat unexpected part was the contract’s ten-year length, but considering Li Wei’s ten-year contract, it wasn’t that surprising.
Regardless, teams still need to do well themselves—
Ten years? That’s too far; now, what’s right before us is the upcoming 2020 season, controlling Li Wei and Mahomes’ partnership is the top priority.
The so-called impact mainly concentrates on social networks, where fans’ fragile little hearts began to tremble intensely.
The bustling and clamorous discussions early exploded the expectations for the new season, needless to say, every fan could see Kansas City Chiefs aiming for a fourth consecutive championship, and even non-fans, passerby spectators could notice.
Thus, a scenario reminiscent of last year’s offseason plays out again—
Some believe a fourth consecutive win is wishful thinking, some firmly believe the Kansas City Chiefs can create miracles, others desperately ask what their home team’s plans are, some shout that Kansas City Chiefs’ dominance makes the NFL lose charm, some marvel at the NFL finally having a team truly worthy of being called a dynasty.
In summary, bizarre creatures, demons dance.
However, do these noises matter?
Last season, the Kansas City Chiefs already demonstrated with unrivaled performance, that it does not matter one bit; those who make the most noise, most exaggerated, most wild and fierce are precisely the most cowardly, most timid, and most shameful. Even giving them another glance is a waste of time.
Amidst this clamour and excitement, Veach continues his offseason tasks methodically; while everyone’s attention is still on Mahomes, a breeze silently emerges on social networks, yet in a short moment, it evolves into a tempest, directly blowing minds.
Wait, what? What happened? What did they witness?
No! Way! Really!
