I don't think we're as strapped as fans think...

We have $31m in Cap Space next offseason, and Chris Jones wants $30m per year, he's already owed $5m next season, so that leaves us with $6m. Let's say you need $5m for draft picks, so yeah, at first glance we're pretty strapped but seems obvious we let MVS go for +$12m, which gives us $13m.

Is $13m enough to also bring back Sneed? Maybe. If Sneed doesn't stay, that's enough to sign Gay, plus our other desirable FAs. We also have a few restructurable contracts with team friendly players like Thuney (Up to ~$9.5m), Kelce (Up to ~$8m), and Mahomes (Up to ~$6m). Two of which of been willing to restructure in the past.

Ultimately, it's possible for us to keep Chris Jones AND more.

or am I missing something?
