As far as left tackles correct still think if that's the scenario you go best player available: Maybe pass rusher, Bateman, Toney etc.

A veteran placeholder + Little is one of the better ways to address LT, IMO. You need the bet to bandaid the position until either Fisher is back or Little/Niang has shown enough in practice to earn a shot.

Looking at what’s likely to be available and costs, Kelvin Beachum probably is the top “reasonably priced” option out there. He’d be a considerable upgrade as the swing tackle from Remmers and is just the type of guy likely to be squeezed by this market (solid vet who is a little older).

1 year, $5M on Beachum is do-able for the Chiefs and would stabilize things quite a bit. He’s not a great all around tackle, but he does skew better in pass pro and is solid/slightly above average.

If that doesn’t work, I think Peters is pretty close in line in terms of next-best option for that type of approach.

Some details about LDT's contract.

LDT's current cap number is $4,750,000 for 2021. The Chiefs if they cut him, would have $6,750,000 of Dead money, because the contract is set up to pay an additional $2,000,000 in 2022.

If the cut him post June 1, they would have $4,750,000 of dead money. with the additional $2,000,000 cap hit in 2022.

BUT...

We could trade LDT post June 1. We would save $2,750,000 of cap space and have $2,000,000 of Dead money for 2021 and $2,000,000 of dead money in 2022.

I think the probability is that LDT will be on the Chiefs roster for 2021.
