We could, of course, cut our own guy and overpay another guy that someone else let walk - remember Adam Archuleta?

Depends on how you look at it.

The Chiefs gave Joe Thuney ~$32M guaranteed when he signed, with a potential out after 2023. His cap number is $17.8M in 2022, $18.9M in 2023, and $19.4M in 2024-2025.

WFT paid Brandon Scherff $33M over the last two years, and owe him nothing more, unless he signs long term.

Once Thuney signed his deal, the market for an elite guard became at least $18M/yr.
