Tamba and DJ are most certainly gone. The rest is not likely with the exception of Smith depending on his play.
We are tight against the cap and cutting a bunch of players and thinking you are just going to replace them all with more talented players is not likely to happen. Teams do not get improvement at ever position that they replace players year in and year out. We do not have the cap space and drafting players doesn't always work out immediately.
The problem is we lost Berry who was the key to Suttons defensive scheme and without Berry he has not been able to adjust adequately yet, if he even can. The problem is more Sutton and this scheme than the players.

Oh ffs.
Barring a substancial improvement in the result in 2017 over the last few years, the Chiefs are going to reset and get rid of pieces that aren't working.
It's about getting rid of pieces aren't working and if they don't work than they don't work, no matter how you want to slice it.
There are a lot of pieces on that Defense that aren't working like they should and keeping status quo for the sake of continuity is stupid and how they've had some really shitty Offensive Lines.
2/3rds of the front 3 isn't working along with probably 3/4ths of of the starting LB group.
The Defense got old and fell off a cliff. It sucks but **** it happens and I'd say you gotta let go before it's too late, but it's already too late for some guys.
I don't see Dee Ford, DJ, Bennie Logan, Hali and Allen Bailey being factors down the road. They just aren't cutting it.
I think people are choosing to forget that this D had struggles with Berry in the line up, down the stretch last year with the platoff collapse and one player masking the major flaws doesn't mean those flaws don't exist.
I would absolutely gut what doesn't work and get out of the financial hole, finally. Trying to glue a crumbling boulder back together isn't going to work. We have to finally pay the price for win now eventually. Can't think of a better time to turn that page.
