Mahomes had 3 lost fumbles all year. And I know at least two of them were strip sack fumbles. It's possible none of them were because of a bad snap, though I could be wrong.

In any case, Creed will be fine.

Justin Tucker is currently the highest paid kicker in the NFL at $6M per year. Would Butker expect that much more than Tucker?

Bolton, Humphrey, and Smith.

Why Smith over Butker?

You keep Bolton. Period.

You keep Creed. Period.

You keep Butker. Period.

Thanks...

Not too bad really.

Creed and Butker and then the rest go. Creed's the best pass-pro center we've had from the last 3 and I don't think that's as easy to find as people imagine.

Butker, Bolton, creed and Reid in that priority. But it’s all relative. If anyone asks for too much they drop down the list and are less of a priority to sign. And I would put Butker in a different category than the others. I think Mahomes Kelce Jones and Butker have been critical to our Super Bowl wins. The others have been important. I would also put Sneed in the critical list but I think/hope we will be able to replace him.

Said center sets all the protections for our pass happy offense. I'd imagine that's reason enough to keep him.

Bolton is so highly spoken of by Steve Spagnuolo that I don't think we're letting him walk.

Creed is a brick house who sometimes forgets how to hike the football, but his chemistry with his QB you don't walk away from.

Reid is great, but I could see one year deal after this year kinda territory.

Smith would have to have a shutdown, destroy your opponent kinda year to extend him too, but with the Guard market being the way it is, he gone.

Butker has been amazing, but he's a kicker, likely he's out like Tommy.

He’s not just a kicker though. People who devalue him because we have Mahomes need to go back and look at how many game tying/game winning FGs he has hit for this team in the playoffs. He is easily in the top 3 most valuable players on this roster throughout this dynasty. He and Townsend are not even in the same conversation regarding worth to this team.

Anyone who says Butker is out is likely a waterhead. The dude is clutch, has a monster leg and is responsible repeatedly for huge clutch kicks in the most important games.

They're not starting over at kicker, they're not going to try to save a few bucks at the kicker position. They're signing him. It needs to happen sooner rather than later and will likely be at least a 5 year deal.

Butker
Bolton
Creed
In that order of importance.

Smith is gone. Reid is likely gone given all our investments at Safety the last few years.

I feel like this is all obvious. I honestly don't know how anyone can see it any other way. Thuney is cut next year. Karlaftis and McDuffie get done the following year. Watson and Williams likely walk that year too.

Butker has the most FGs in Super Bowl history (9), with fewer appearances than Gostkowski and Vinatieri.

With 37, he has 2nd most points (non-QBs, obviously). Jerry Rice (48) is first, and Butker could easily surpass him in 1-2 more games.

Butker is 2nd all time to Tucker in FG percentage.

Tucker makes $6M per. Just pay Butkicker $7M and call it a day.
