Of the free agents we have only 5 are slated to make over 1.7m this year: Sneed, Reid, Ominihu, Butker, and Toney. With that, we're going to kick the can with Mahomes again in all likelihood, you know that much. We can cut Thuney for 10.5m I'm guessing we try to re-sign Bolton, Creed, and Butker. We'll see about Justin Reid. I think, by that point, they'll be comfortable with Conner and Cook as the starters and fill in with a new 3rd safety. Trey Smith has been good at times, but not so good at others. He's a guy you'd love to bring back but if he gets stupid money then you let him walk. I wouldn't overpay for an LB either. I wouldn't go handing Bolton 18m per or something like that. Off-ball LBs can get you production on the cheap with regularity and you can get starters on day 2 every single year. Veach will patch the DT room around Jones with low-price FAs like he's one most seasons here. It'd be prudent to take a DT this year in the draft but I'm not worried about what he does there. Some guys will be here not on the OTC list of 23 who are ERFAs that you get for cheap. We're not sure yet if one of those is Araiza or if he has a 3-year deal. We don't know how long Winchester was signed for. Overall though, you're looking at needing to re-sign the back half of the roster with about 80 m available to you if you want it. And you get two draft classes to add to it. Your worries are for naught. |

Some more contract restructure stuff. Maybe making room to keep Sneed on the tag?

I suspect Thuney's was the same thing. So I don't think there were any 'restructures' there. Just contract language triggering at the start of the league year. |

Chiefs like these rolling guarantees a lot nowadays; helps find a middle ground between players getting guaranteed money but Clark not having to escrow it all from the day of signing.

This is nothing but positive for the team whichever way it goes.
Sneed gets to test the water and see what his market value really is, which will not be better next year at 28. So he might want to cut a long term deal here in KC, which would be in his best interest. If he goes, we'll get draft compensation. If he gets poor advice from his agents, he can play on the tag and try again next year, but it isn't going to go up. |

The Hunt family are the 4th richest owners in the NFL. Why do we have a cash problem?

Why does caring about cash flow mean they have cash problems? Most enterprises work to maximize profitability. If there's an option between having something sit in escrow, or earn more money elsewhere, I think most would choose the latter.

If the Chiefs can get a LT in the first rd that they really like, it opens up a lot. You can easily afford Taylor and Creed and have your bookend tackles and stud C for the next 4 years
