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. |

Doesn’t cutting Thuney free up a ton of cash?

I think Creed, Bolton, and Butker are basically locks. Sure, Creed is replaceable, but be careful trying to save a few bucks at the position. You want the best out of Mahommes or the next 6 years, don't **** with his pass blocking center. Its not like Nourzad can't play guard. And money wise, its cheaper to extend Creed than Smith. Which is an absolute no brainer in my mind. |

I love watching Bolton play.
He reminds me of when you choose the correct play on defense while playing Tecmo Superbowl. He's a magnet to the ball carrier. |

I bet if you could walk in to Bart's office today and told him that Nourzad should be our starting center next year and we should let Creed walk if would call you a dumb ****. Just because the team let Rodney Hudson (mistake) and Mitch Morris (smart too many concussions go) doesn't mean they will always do that. |

I agree that they are not letting Bolton, Creed and Butker walk...I could see them try to squeeze in Smith too but that would take some finagling. Honestly I think Reid could take a discount to play out his career here and finish with more Super Bowl rings....but if he doesn't we still have the personnel to replace him. |

The Chiefs are a much different team these days than back then. Back then a player wasn't going to take a little less to stay. Now they will. |

We can replace anyone other than Mahomes. The Patriots already showed that during their dominance.
Losing Kelce to retirement will suck but an all-pro WR or TE would soften the blow. Doesn't have to be as good as Kelce. |

Humphrey would be my first choice because keeping Mahomes healthy is our number one priority. Trey would be nice but he is going to be too expensive.
Bolton is number two. He is solid but he better not be asking for top dollar. He is really good but he isn’t the best on the market. Butker is third. Great kicker. However….What is he going to ask? Are we paying 8+ million for a kicker? I guess this goes for all of them. Creed and butker are the only two that I would make the highest paid but they better not be going too high. Reid should be begging to come back. |

Yes, it also makes him a bad center if every other down he's completely missing the QB like a Buffalo kicker in the playoffs, but that's not what Creed is doing. Because of who Mahomes is, if he only improves his snapping a little bit and never fully corrects it, I'd say you can call his snapping good enough. Because it's the other parts of his game that really matter, and that's where he's among the best at his position. |
