The Chiefs are, rightfully so, looking at the next 10 years plus, not 2017 or 2018. 2018 will be a rebuilding year of sorts as is, with DJ, Hali, Maclin and Bailey unlikely to return. The absence of a first round pick won't help the process, either.
Alex Smith will most likely fulfill his contract. Does anyone want Travis Kelce as the veteran leader of the offense?

I just disagree, dude... based on the widely reported intelligence and drive this kid has, he can reach a workable level of proficiency in the year and half he has IMO
Like RunKC says, thats two full offseasons and two full camps plus preseason play
Then theres the cap savings that Pugs mentions, between Smith and a few others contracts we could have plenty of dough to go sign some premier free agents
I could be wrong, its all up in the air right now... but I'm sticking with the idea that St Patrick starts in 2018
