Both Creed and Butker made too much sense to not get done this offseason.
Both of those guys can/should/will re-set the market. So just go get it done. There's no sense in acting like you're gonna get some screaming bargain on either of them. We know the market will be there for them if they get to FA and we know what it will be. It'll be the last best deal inflated by increases in the cap.
If this isn't done with those 2 by the start of the regular season, it's because the Chiefs have decided that neither position is worth spending the money on.
Now as for Bolton - that's a guy that they are probably going to have to let get to the market. I think he sees himself in the Fred Warner tier and he's just not demonstrated that.
He's gonna want Tremaine Edmunds money ($18+ million/season) to re-sign without testing the market and I think he's more akin to Oluokun at $10 million/yr. It would be a mistake for him to take, say, 4/$44 million without testing the market to see if he could get 4/$72. So I think that's what you have to let him do.
Let him test the market and see what happens. That just doesn't seem like a deal that's likely to get done.
