Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1573 Twin Stars Shine
Calm and composed, they exude a strong sense of unity from within, like a pillar stabilizing the sea, firmly grasping the direction and focus of the team's continued progress.

That's quite remarkable!

Industry insiders can see that the Kansas City Chiefs possess a special power within their soul, a quality that has never been felt in any other team. After all, no team has ever achieved the feat of winning three consecutive Super Bowls in a perfect season.

After creating history and writing miracles, it's not just about leaving a magnificent mark on the annals of history; it also subtly changes the culture and temperament of the team. From players to management to fans, the invisible and intangible aura is indeed changing.

Of course, the Kansas City Chiefs are not perfect. Even a basketball team struggles to build a perfect roster, let alone a team of fifty-three players.
The Kansas City Chiefs still have various problems and need to make adjustments during the offseason. They also need to deal with the financial dealings of the professional league. The team's business is not stagnant; they must maintain vitality and dynamism, not just to remain competitive, but to continue to improve.

If anyone thinks that the Kansas City Chiefs, who won their third consecutive championship with a perfect record last season, can make a run for a fourth this season by maintaining the same roster, they are being incredibly naive. In professional leagues, every season is different. What happened last season is forever left to last season. In a new season, you must look at yourself and your opponents with fresh eyes, or you will soon be left behind.

Especially in the NFL.

Therefore, Viktor still has a lot of work to do.

Objectively speaking, the Kansas City Chiefs are currently in a smooth and harmonious state, and there is no need for any major disruptions.

As the absolute core players, Mahomes and Levi are about to enter their fourth year, which is the last year of their rookie contracts. On the one hand, the team can still enjoy the rookie bonus and make full use of the salary cap space to make adjustments; on the other hand, the team has already renewed the contracts of the two cornerstone players. In other words, Vicki can see the salary structure for the next ten years. He can start from the overall blueprint and make adjustments according to priorities.

In other words, as long as he takes a long-term view and focuses on the big picture, Vucic can make great strides within the salary cap without being constrained.

Next, Vic can proceed with contract extension negotiations with key players one by one according to his overall plan, from the offensive team to the defensive team and then to the special teams, leaving no one out; and then arrange the draft strategy based on the contract extension results and the team roster, without letting up.

Furthermore, as previously mentioned, the Kansas City Chiefs are one of the youngest teams in the league in terms of average age. After a complete overhaul and rebuild of their defense last season, they have continued this trend, which gives Vucevic more room to make adjustments.

Overall, the Kansas chiefs are in a reasonable and harmonious state; a virtuous cycle has begun to operate, and they certainly don't need to be nervous.

Everything can proceed according to plan.

This offseason went smoothly, everything couldn't be more perfect, and the Kansas City Chiefs are once again in a dominant position to start the new season.

Re-sign Mahomes, finalize the cornerstone duo, and ensure the continuation of the core strength of the offensive group.

With the signing of Watt, the Kansas City Chiefs have completed the initial rebuild of their defensive frontcourt. Chris Jones is the team's trusted leader, while Watt, along with Frank Clark, who joined last season, will add to their strength. The performance of the Kansas City Chiefs' defense next season is something to look forward to.

Obviously, that's not all.

Vic is also a rookie team manager, having only taken office for the first time in the 2016 season. He has a blueprint in mind, but it is not clear or complete. After the stunning move in the first round of the 2017 draft, this blueprint is gradually becoming clearer and is presenting a panoramic view in front of him.

2018, 2019, 2020, year after year, after winning three consecutive championships, entering a new season, Vucic's blueprint became clearer and clearer, and the work carried out during the offseason became more and more precise and thorough. The structure of the Kansas City Chiefs is being optimized step by step from the internal core.

Everything, all of it, originated from Livy—would anyone believe that if I said that?

But that's at least what Viktor believes, and it all stems from that morning of the draft, when he watched the game tape in Reed's office.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

It has nothing to do with winning a three-peat. Regardless of the outcome of the Super Bowl at the beginning of this year, Vicki's job as the team manager must proceed step by step. He must take a holistic view to control and manage the team, plan ahead, and always stay ahead of the team's development.

If we wait until rivals like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Los Angeles Rams rise to prominence before scrambling to respond, it will be too late to catch up with them. Forget about aiming for a four-peat; we might not even be able to achieve the feat of winning three consecutive championships like last season.

Similarly, long before his opponents launched their attack, long before he ascended to the throne of three consecutive championships, Vicki's overall strategy had already begun.

To be precise, last season.

The first step is the well-known key, which is also a major turning point that shook the league—

Li Wei.

After two seasons of work and adjustment, Vicki believes the Kansas City Chiefs have found their cornerstone and their Hall of Fame leader.

So, what's the second step?
Mahomes!

Without a doubt, without question.

Mahomes is another cornerstone of the team. The "Chiefs' Twin Stars" are indispensable. The partnership between Levi and Mahomes is the foundation of everything and the beginning of everything.

Some media outlets even jokingly suggested that if Levi and Mahomes had a falling out, then everything would be over, and the Kansas Chiefs dynasty would collapse.

Furthermore, some media outlets have publicly asked Viktor who the Kansas Chiefs would choose if Levi and Mahomes were to become enemies.
Instead of answering directly, Vickers responded with a joke, "Oh, none of us want our parents to get divorced, right? Choosing between Dad and Mom is definitely a question that leaves a childhood trauma. To be honest, I'm already feeling the psychological trauma, Jesus Christ."

So, what about in private?
Vickers sighed. He wasn't worried about Levi and Mahomes falling out. On the contrary, he was worried that Levi and Mahomes were too closely connected. Mahomes always followed Levi's lead, even in re-signing. Their friendship, both on and off the court, was too solid. This meant that if the Kansas Chiefs offended one of them, they might lose both of them, which would be the real breakdown.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and the Kansas City Chiefs and the Gemini signed a ten-year contract, ensuring they still have a bright future.

So, what's the third step?
The third step had actually begun long ago; even before Mahomes signed the contract extension, Vucic's overall strategy had already completed the third step.
