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.

I feel like they'd prefer push more of that money towards their own guys if they can. I think they'll try awfully hard to extend Sneed, for instance. I could see them approaching Gay with an offer as well.
And I'd like to keep some rollover in place for Bolton and Humphrey when they're extension eligible the following season.
We're better served trying to keep this foundation intact than go hard after 2nd contract guys (or 3rd, in some cases).
Maintain the core and supplement with 2nd wave FAs.

I know you guys won't like it, but they're gonna have to branch out somewhat either via trade or trade up or get lucky in teh draft and find a LT or DE core type guy.
I think you have to pay Creed. Then just draft G's as you have to. Sneed probably has to stay IMO, but I'm just not sure their feelings on CB"s.
