Mandatory Credit: Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images \/ Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_hpl45slz9\">The Chiefs escaped Carolina with a narrow 30-27 win over the Panthers, but it&#8217;s become exceedingly obvious that Kansas City has a large problem at right tackle.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_7tdxsvsm9\">Jawaan Taylor has been a net negative overall since signing a mammoth four-year, $80 million contract. He has the fourth-largest cap hit on the team that only grows worse, representing a major mistake by general manager Brett Veach.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_u4rxrpulg\">He doesn&#8217;t screw up often, but Veach needs to wear this one unfortunately. Patrick Mahomes was sacked five times by one of the worst defensive lines in the NFL, and Taylor was a main reason why.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Chiefs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Chiefs<\/a> Jawaan Taylor over the last 3 weeks:<br \/>11 pressures<br \/>5 hurries<br \/>4 sacks<br \/>4 penalties<\/p>\n<p>He isn&#39;t a second year guy. He isn&#39;t a rookie LT. He got $80M in FA. <\/p>\n<p>It&#39;s time we talk about this. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ChiefsKingdom?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ChiefsKingdom<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5hSXMUxF9f\">pic.twitter.com\/5hSXMUxF9f<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; All Chief&#39;d Up! (@AllChiefdUp) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AllChiefdUp\/status\/1860807064114569603?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 24, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_hwesna96g\">It&#8217;s easier to write off Kingsley Suamataia and Wanya Morris&#8217; issues since they&#8217;re young players, but Taylor is in his sixth year and one of the highest-paid tackles in the league. His performance has been inexcusable, especially considering the opportunity cost associated with his contract.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_1lfkx38yr\">The Chiefs can&#8217;t realistically escape it until after next season. Taylor carries a dead cap hit just shy of $35 million in 2025, though it drops to $8 million in 2026. Based on how many penalties he draws and the general ineffectiveness, expect Veach to seriously consider eating the dead cap hit instead of paying him the $26 million salary.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_8jtk7hd5l\">For now though, there&#8217;s nothing to be done. Mahomes has been relentlessly pursued all year long, causing issues with the offense, though the team still has just one loss.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_doifsbtof\">Looking ahead to the playoffs against the best defensive lines in the NFL, this is an issue that could ruin Kansas City&#8217;s attempt at a three-peat. Taylor grades poorly at Pro Football Focus and fans are growing tired of the constant tackle struggles.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_rafjkmojx\">Here&#8217;s hoping he improves over the next two months. Otherwise, the Chiefs could have a surprise early exit against a stout opponent.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_0j3u9w824\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chiefs escaped Carolina with a narrow 30-27 win over the Panthers, but it&#8217;s become exceedingly obvious that Kansas City has a large problem at right tackle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4379,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
