We let Morse go cuz his head was maybe going to scramble, but I don't think there is anyway they give a ton for a C because we never have problems replacing them.
I also don't extend Smith and just try to get one in the draft. We have no problem finding interior guys and we need to have some guys in rookie deals.

I'm gonna have to really sit back and re-evaluate my cap math over the coming years.
Because shit's about to get weird. I read an article today talking about Devin White possibly getting $22 million/yr like it was just an afterthought - an off-ball backer.
The cap expansion is gonna start creating numbers that look awfully insane to us.
Instead I think we have to kinda think "okay, how many 'top of the market' guys can we have?"
So if you figure on Thuney being gone, that creates an 'opening' for Creed. Is that where you want to allocate it? Hard to say, but it's an open question. The thing with Creed is that he's damn smart and a true set and forget player.
Yeah, we've had success replacing our Cs, but remember that we TRIED to extend Hudson in-season andcouldn't get over the hump with him. We walked from Morse because of the concussions, IMO. I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that we aren't interested in bringing a guy back who could have a Jason Kelce kind of career here in KC.
