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?

If we're not going to spend our money on a top defensive tackle, top defensive back, or top ILB... than what do we want to spend that money on? Who else is coming up for a contract in the near future that's more important? If you want a vet FA WR, why not ask our offense to restructure and make it happen?
