I would imagine that outside of a couple positions, agents will steer their clients away from the Chiefs because those players will have a much better chance to make another team's 55.
That's just another reason why the absence of a 6th and 7th hurts the Chiefs this year.

If you're an agent w/ a skill position player, the Chiefs are a FANTASTIC landing spot. Lots of turnover inevitable at WR in the next 2 years and a RB room that's wide open in the near and long terms. No real backup TE apart from some flyers and a coach who likes to use different kinds of guys in those roles anyway.
I disagree completely - this is an offense that can make guys look outstanding and has a proven track record of getting production beyond a guys initial standing. The first contract will be nominal either way so it will be the 2nd deal that matters for those guys.
And over the next 2-3 seasons (when a guy's due for his second deal) a skill position player will have a far greater chance to demonstrate his ability here than he would most places. CB and LB is a similar situation given the performance of the defensive coaching staff in '19.
Roster spot limitations cut both ways - your position is that we'd like to have last day picks to fill 'em, mine is that by NOT having those picks, we stay in the running for those UDFAs because those guys are all on equal standing to win the roles.
