Williams looked average last night, I think he'll be feast or famine for awhile dependent on the match up. If he's anything above average that's a quality CB room and we have pretty good value even with a pay day for Sneed. |

I'm a lot more interested to see if he's getting toasted because of lack of athleticism, which he's not. He was in Allen's hip pocket. Allen just made a great move on the sideline that Williams may never have seen before. Give the guy some time to learn the game. I'm not ready to throw him out because Keenan Allen got the better of him on a big play. |

Jones, Bolton and Sneed are the one guy at each level you have to keep if we want to continue to see this defense progress forward and keep getting better.
Jones has taken his game to another level this year, and if not for Micah Parsons, would probably be the front runner for DPOY. Bolton is just unbelievably dependable. Always seems to get himself in the right spot. Always makes the tackle. Knows how to position people and lead. Trending towards being a better version of Derrick Johnson. Not as athletic, but a higher football IQ. Sneed is the swiss army knife that HB used to be that makes Spags defense work and makes it the best version of itself. Without his versatility out there, we would lose a lot on matchups. All 3 are essential going forward. The rest you can plug and replace and re-stock through the draft as necessary. Extend Jones this off-season for 3 more years (could add a 4th voidable year), give Sneed the money he deserves with a new contract (HB's old contract?) and we can worry about extending Bolton the following off-season. LOCK THOSE THREE DOWN. |

Yeah, I was mainly speaking to HB's first 2 years with us here, when he was effective in that role. Although he was never the blitzer that Sneed is.

Gay and Thornhill are plus players I'd like to keep around. Maybe someone like Saunders. |

Gay is a plus payer, but i don't think he's shown enough yet to say he def needs a 2nd contract.
Would like to have seen another step forward for him this season ala Sneed or Bolton. He's kinda still the same guy he was last season. |

Think this is fair, but I'd prioritise over Saunders and Thornhill.

He's going to go somewhere for too much money, the team that signs him will regret it and the Chiefs will be worse for losing him as well. He is just such a perfect complement to Bolton here. Those two guys HAVE to stay together. They are close friends, they have great on-field chemistry, they have matching strengths/weaknesses, they have mirrored personalities. You can't ask for a better matched set. Gay will never mean as much to the team that signs him as he'd mean to the Chiefs but it also means that he's probably not WORTH as much as some other team will give him. It's an irritating catch 22. I just really hope they figure out a way to lock those guys in for another 5-6 years past this season. |

While there is a large gap between Gay to Bolton, Gay is still the second best LB we've had in recent years. While that probably says more about how thin we've been at the position overall, I would like Gay to stick around.

You can’t keep Jones, Bolton, Gay and Sneed.
The cap math barely works with 3 of those guys. |
