Sign the elite players you have, let teh good players walk and draft more good players. Simple formula right?

That's not what people want though.

Don't most CPers want Chris Jones gone?

As he should. I will never understand this mentality. Why should every player max out his earnings? It's not like they're making pennies out there. They're still getting millions. And before you start with the millionaires vs billionaires narrative, that isn't the case at all. There is this thing called the CBA. The CBA sets a salary cap and a salary floor. Most teams, including the Chiefs, are up against that cap every year. So the extra money going to top players isn't affecting the owners in the lear. They're spending that money anyway. The ones being affected are the blue collar type guys that are contributing every week. Those guys are taking less because the stars are taking most of what is available. Don't get me wrong. I want to see Sneed get paid. But I don't think that he's going to have trouble taking care of his family if he gets $10M per year instead of $18M per year. But if we pay him $18M, who is going to have to lose their job because there's not enough money left?

McDuffie is that guy. He was vital in the Bengals AFCCG. I'd argue Bolton is viewed by the team as that too.

Karlaftis and Rice could be on their way. They both have potential

No. They don't want to lose a ton of talent or the opportunity to improve at the cost of keeping one guy who wants to break the bank.

The other HOF player was traded.

If you don't want to sign your best players to instead fill the roster out with guys that are good but not special, just say that's what you want to do.

And you are in even more of a world of pain if one of those three high paid guys becomes day to day or loses his spirit.

Not if you just turn off the salary cap like in Madden.

In my amateur opinion, Jones makes the entire DL function just by being on the field. Does Sneed do the same for the DBs? I don't see it. I like Sneed as a player, but he's no unicorn.
