What do others think of this idea?

On a depleted roster like the Chiefs, it probably wouldn't make much difference, but if you get to the point where the Chiefs are letting people go who have value it could. The example that comes to mind was the year they cut Ryan Lilja from a team that still had a really good offensive line. Lilja, of course, went on to get a bunch of starts over the next couple of years for the Colts. Punters and kickers who get cut often wind up on other teams too unless they're nobodies like Conner Barth.
