Top 5 Chiefs Entering Contract Years in 2024
https://kckingdom.com/posts/top-5-ch...4-01j0xnwhd5wc
1. Creed Humphrey 2. Nick Bolton 3. Justin Reid 4. Trey Smith 5. Harrison Butker They all take hometown discounts to keep winning Super Bowls and we good? We draft/ find cost effective league vets to replace them and keep winning Super Bowls? They all leave and we're doomed? Somewhere in the middle of all of that? Those are definitely five guys that will be disappointing to see go if the business side of things dictates as much. |

I'd really like to see Bolton get a deal. I don't care how well Tranquil did last year. We are only two seasons removed from the abortion crew of LBs that was Anthony Hitchens and Damien Wilson.
You can tell me all about how you shouldn't pay your LBs and how they're not a valuable position yadda yadda, but if that's the case, then what the **** caused the defense to go from mediocre/meddling after the 21 season to the unit it is now? Sure, every unit got some kind of upgrade, but no more significantly than the LBs. And I love it too much. I don't want to go back to some Anthony Hitchens jackass taking bad angles and whiffing on important tackles that have to be made near the LOS. You can find great LBs anywhere? Okay, then why did a team with a great GM like Veach and a terrific coach like Spags take this ****ing long to find some? |

We may have already drafted our Creed replacement. Same with Reid. I think we can find a replacement for Trey. The other two are harder for me to discern.

Bolton would be my pick if we can only keep one. In addition to being a great player he is the QB of the defense, and in perfect synch with Spags. A guy like that makes everybody else better.

Will be super easy to move on from Creed. Smith a little more difficult but those are pretty easy positions to replace compared to other positions.
Pay Butker whatever he wants. He's a future hall of famer Think I'd sign Bolton. He helps lock down the defense and I've seen what this defense is like with shitty LBs. Reid is either or. We've been good at replacing that position but he's a good player. Last edited by BWillie; 06-23-2024 at 11:52 AM.. |

I’d guess we find a way to pay Creed, Bolton, and Butker.
Maybe Bolton walks if he’s unreasonable. Trey Smith isn’t worth what he’ll get on the market (or close to it). Reid is a nice player and I wouldn’t mind him getting extended, but I trust Spags/Veach to figure it out with DBs. Can’t let Butker walk. Pay him what it takes. |

I know Hilton’s going to get paid an it will be the same discourse as when he was drafted. It’s all really about how much he gets paid. And I guess the structure. He’s really good at a lot of things but there’s been times where he and Reid have been the target in the pass game on third and long every time the other guys needed it. |

Butker isn’t even a concern. There is zero chance he’s leaving unless he absolutely does not want to play in KC.

With some luck we don’t have to break the bank because he’s saving some work by not doing kick offs. Imagine how mad other fan bases will be if we get him on a deal.

As much as I love Veach and everything that he's done building a dynasty team, my biggest gripe is how he doesn't get players extended prior to them hitting free agency for the most part. Things would be so much simpler if a couple of these players had been extended this off-season. Are we really going to play through the season with 5 starters pending free agency? I guess that he knows what he's doing. He's built a dynasty. But I still don't understand the logic in not extending our homegrown talent before they enter a contract year.

And isn't Thuneys contract up or they can save a lot of cap by cutting him? |

Creed is the best pass protecting C in the league and has incredible athleticism on pull blocks and screens. He’s an ideal Center for this offense |
