Kansas City Chiefs general manager faced criticism from veteran sportswriter Scott Kacsmar on social media this week ahead of the 2026 NFL trade deadline.
In response to a tweet about the virtues of former Chiefs GM John Dorsey, Kacsmar sounded off on Veach, describing the long-tenured executive as a "leech" on his predecessor's success.
Kansas City failed to win a Super Bowl during Dorsey's tenure, but the Chiefs undoubtedly benefited from his eye for talent — which saw the team select Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, and Travis Kelce in the NFL draft.
Take a look at Kacsmar's assessment of Veach, which was posted to Twitter on November 9:
Veach is a leech of Dorsey's success. https://t.co/IST8pFYVSu

While Veach has struggled to convert early draft
picks into superstars over the last few seasons, his resume — bolstered by three Super Bowl championships — makes him one of the most respected general managers in the NFL and has provided Kansas City with unparalleled stability during his time as the Chiefs' top decision-maker.
