Mock Offseason - 2/11/2020
 

My numbers could be off....so if you see something that doesn't make sense....point it out. I'm not a cap expert.

Starting Cap Space: $13.7 million

Cuts:

LDT: $5 million in savings
Cameron Erving: $3.25 million in savings
Austin Reiter: $3.425 million in savings

Dustin Colquitt retires.

Trade Sammy Watkins to the Giants for a 4th round pick.

Cap Space after moves: $38 million

Patrick Mahomes extension - 5 years, $190 million. $114 million guaranteed - $48 million signing bonus.
Contract extension keeps his 2020 cap hit at the current $5 million and then his 2021 cap hit will be the
5th year option of $24 million.

Chris Jones contract - 4 years, $76 million. $45 million guaranteed - $19 million signing bonus.

One year minimal deals - Stefan Wisniewski, Anthony Sherman and Mike Pennel.
ERFA deals - Andrew Wylie, Deon Yelder and Marcus Kemp

I believe that this should put our cap space at around roughly $11 million.

NFL Draft

The Chiefs trade the #32 pick to the Panthers for the #38 and #103 picks.

2nd round (from CAR) - #38 - Jaylon Johnson, CB, Utah
2nd round (KC) - #63 - Lloyd Cushenberry, C, LSU
3rd round (KC) - #96 - Jordyn Brooks, LB, Texas Tech
4th round (from NYG) - #100 - Isaiah Hodgins, WR, Oregon State
4th round (from CAR) - #103 - Adam Trautman, TE, Dayton
5th round (KC) - #160 - Alex Taylor, OT, South Carolina

Starting offensive line: Fisher - Wisniewski - Cushenberry - Rankin - Schwartz

I dig it. A lot.

Well thought out and realistic.

So we don't have dick at CB? No Fuller, no Breeland, and a rookie CB to replace those two? Chris Jones better get 40 sacks.

I can get with everything you have here but echo Hoover in the "who are our other 2 CBs" camp?

I like the draft.

In this scenario, I don't like re-signing Jones. I think too many holes left because of it.

I think you look at either a veteran on a 1 year deal like Breeland or Veach pulls of a trade like he did for Ward.

I think I’m going to do an offseason where we trade Jones tomorrow or Thursday.

Wouldn’t the Chiefs have 3 4ths in this setup (their own, plus the two you traded for)?

It’s a reasonable proposition, though.

I can’t see them cutting all 3 OL in the same offseason but maybe 2.

For a mock that includes keeping Jones, it would be just fine with me.
