Kpassognon is a question mark, as is Dee Ford's health. Dadi Nicolas may be done and there's zero depth at the OLB position.
The Chiefs desperately need an upgrade at LG and don't currently have a slot WR under contract, nor do they have a 2nd or 3rd string QB or a punter.
They not only have a shit ton of starting holes to fill, their depth sucks as well.
This team is not what anyone would describe as "ascending", although with a little luck, they should "ascend" from the 30th ranked defensive spot.

Keeping Peters next year actually is helpful to the cap. You have someone who can play at a pro bowl level and has a low cap #. They should or could depending on Bailey and a few others have over 20-25 million to work with. The back up QB's I expect to be bargain basement, one maybe low round draft pick (the teams all in on Mahomes and probably a 2.5 million backup). The 2nd and 2-3rd rounders will solve 3 of your problems above. So you need to sign a starter and depth for somewhere north of 20+ million.
Not the Jets or the Browns but it is doable. Unless you getting 2 starters for Peters one of which is a pro bowler it does not help next years team to move him.
