Mahomes didn't start right away.
If a Vet only signed for 2 years and we drafted a QB to grow behind them what's so bad about it?
The vet is off the books after 2 years..... keep in mind that Ballard has left 45+ million in cap every year hes been here so why not?

He had already been there for a few years--they didn't sign him THAT YEAR, then ALSO draft Mahomes. His contract was coming to an end, of course a team should plan for the future at that point. If the Colts sign Rivers, then they could pass on this draft's QB prospects since none of the realistic options seem to be impressive or have any skill set that couldn't be found in next year's draft. Use this year's first rounder on edge rusher or receiver.
