We let Buggs go and currently have ~$16m in cap space...
Are we gonna spend it? Who should we spend it on? |

When you have Mahomes, Kelce, Jones, et al, you play for now - not later. If we have $$, spend it to shore up LT, RB & another DL.

That said, you don't just spend for the sake of spending. The right player has to be there. And honestly, I'd love to use some of that space to get extensions done on those guys that we need to take care of next season. But I think the rapid rises in the cap going forward are going to keep most players from extending early unless you're willing to blow the market apart to do so. Now Creed can/will and probably SHOULD re-set the market. So I'm a little puzzled as to why that one's not done yet. |

I'm assuming Veach has some 1-year deals he's planning on handing out to a LT, RB and possibly a DT. Still some guys out there, just no way I see them sitting on that much space. They'll spend $8-9M of it before all is said and done is my guess. |

I usually agree but man,we’ve got a really good team and a chance to keep a lot of those pieces the next few years. Mahomes’ cap hit becomes very real next year so I think we just use whatever we have left to absorb that blow. Let’s round out our roster with some vets but I think this is a good year to prep for the future so we can try to limit cuts next year

We need to replace about 20 personnel on the cheerleaders squad.

Lt insurance makes sense. But top priority should be to save up for future contract obligations.

Makes me wish we'd have held onto Gay at his price point. That athleticism was a big deal at times.
