If I'm guessing, they'll try to fix their cap by extending Tua, restructuring Chubb, and cutting Ogbah and Baker loose, then trading Ramsey for a soda and popcorn if they can.
The Browns might try to trade Amari Cooper and the 49ers might do well to move Brandon Aiyuk.
Cooper might come relatively cheap given he's going on 30, has 20m per for the next 2 years, and the Browns don't save any more by cutting him versus trading him. Cleveland doesn't have much draft capital this year (a 2, 3, 5, and 6 with all being late picks) so they may take whatever capital they can get within reason. Throwing a 3rd at them might be a decent short-term investment.
The 49ers will be a curious case to watch. They could cut Arik Armstead or Trent Williams with a June 1 designation or they could trade Aiyuk to give themselves some cap relief. Hell, they could do any combination of the 3 depending on how much they want to reload. They may opt to trade Aiyuk for a 1st rounder and then try to move for a LT to replace Williams and cut him loose. Not ideal for KC to trade a 1 and pay a WR when this draft sets them up well just to draft one in the 1st if they want.
