And restructure Chris Jones as well.
They can create space. The question is how much they want to create/need to create.
They can generate $15M easily from Jones and could push it to $20M if needed. Same with Mahomes.
I don't know that they'll touch Kelce again, but they can extend Mathieu and pick up a bunch, they can extend Hill and add some, and they can either extend or injury settlement Eric Fisher to create some. Same with Schwartz, who - even if he retires - will function like a regular cut and save them $6M.
There are no major extension candidates this year.
The Chiefs will be able to find room. I think it makes the most sense to find room to spend on a C or RT as there will be some good ones available and the prices on those positions are generally reasonable in free agency.
