What do you want the Chiefs to do with their FAs?
 
This is an idea that's really been going through my head, especially with the Jah Reid re-signing. I think Reid may be provided some camp competition, but I believe they plan to start him next year. Which brings me to this question...

What do you want the FO to do with the rest of our upcoming FAs?

Roughly 31 million in cap space right now and 6 of that goes to draft picks. 25 million left, with potential to go up a couple million via cuts.

Personally, as of this day, I consider Berry, DJ, and Howard must keeps. These guys are playing at their highest levels and they don't have any true potential replacements on the surface. It will be costly to do so as well.

Then, I think if Tamba wants to truly be a Chief for life, you try to bring him back at a discount and hopefully Ford is ready to take over at least half the downs.

I think Marcus Peters' emergence and potential makes Sean Smith the most expendable of the class. If he can grow into the top 10, top 5 corner he can truly be, they need to save the cash here. (Though they likely won't have enough anyway)

Would also like to keep either Abdullah or Branch with the $ left at that point.

Keep in mind-- Kelce, Poe and Fisher are all due the following year and while Fisher will likely receive a 1st round tender for 2017, the other two will command nice contracts as well.

The Chiefs deep talent pool has created a nice problem, and one that fortunately we can wait a little longer to delve into as the 2015 season rolls along. Nonetheless, tough decisions are ahead and I'd like to see what different individuals want to take place.

In the meantime, go Chieeeeeeeeeeefssssssss

They can keep who they want, money shouldn't be an issue.

I love him, but Charles is going to be an interesting case. May end up cut

You think Sean Smith is expendable ???? !!!!

You're a dumbass !

I thought Howard was already given an extension. At least I recall hearing there were talks recently.

It's all going to depend on who is asking for what.

offensive needs:
RT
TE
WR

Defensive needs:
CB
CB

Sorry that I don't think it's a good idea to give a 29 year old corner 10 million a year when you have a kid coming up with elite potential? :shrug:

I can't see them cutting Charles

I think we need to draft DJ's replacement, unless he gives a hometown discount, and keep Smith.

I get what you're saying, but given that Andy has praised Jamaal as one of the greatest backs ever, I can't see them cutting him loose after an injury.

And it may be better for the team, I don't know, but I wouldn't bank on it.

I don't think k they will, but man, I dunno.

I think dj has been the most important player on the defense this year, with Hali being a close 2nd.

You keep the best corners for as long as you can while they remain productive.

We don't know yet what we have with Gaines.

Peters would be your only sure thing.

This is true, but to give out a big contract to a guy like that for past production could cripple the team for a couple years financially.

If they like what they've seen out of Nelson and Gaines, even in practice, and they like the draft class, I'm not sure you keep him.

I still remember Gaines being named a year two breakout player by Louis Riddick on ESPN this August. I think they like him a lot, and most everyone comes back as good or better from ACL's these days. Hopefully it's the case here.

With rollover, we will have 40m in cap space.
