Make a splash.

[Direckshun]

Right now, overthecap has given us about $50m to play with.

Here's the roster heading, with impending FAs listed in red.

QB: Mahomes, Gabbert
RB: Pacheco, McKinnon, Edwards-Helaire

WR: Toney, Moore, Valdez-Scantling, Watson, Rice, James, Ross
TE: Kelce, Gray, Bell, Fortson

LT: Smith, Morris
LG: Thuney, Allegretti
C: Humphrey, Allegretti
RG: Smith, Caliendo
RT: Taylor, Wanogho, Niang

DE: Omenihu, Anudike-Uzomah, Herring
DT: Jones, Dickerson, Wharton
DT: Nnadi, Coburn
DE: Karlaftis, Danna, Thompson

WLB: Gay, Tranquill
MLB: Bolton, Tranquill
SLB: Chenal, Cochrane

CB: Sneed, McDuffie, Watson, Williams, Jones, Johnson
S: Reid, Cook, Conner, Edwards

K: Butker
P: Townsend
LS: Winchester

If you could make a big splash in free agency at one position, what position would it be and why?

[Direckshun]

Oddly enough, I don't think the answer here should be LT.

We're paying Thuney and Taylor big money. We'll be paying at least one of Humphrey/Smith big money.

You can't pay 4 or 5 guys big money along the OL.

I look at that listing and, honestly, DT makes the most sense to me.

S'why in a recent mock I ran, I paid DJ Reader big money.

If you're going to pay a DT big money, just pay Chris Jones.

Personally, I'd pay Chris Jones and Sneed and then look for a WR. Then focus the draft on finding a young LT and eventual Kelce replacement.

Leo Chenal is under contract through 2025

Correct -- I've confused my white linebackers, heh.

Fixed.

WR was the other option I was looking at.

The Chiefs have been trying to pay Chris Jones for a full year. I don't think it's possible.

I think Mike Danna is someone they should really work to sign. He's a really good rotaional piece and can line up inside or outside.

I'll be fascinated by what he commands on the market.

30 year old Jones at $30 million a year or 28 year old Wilkins at maybe $24-25 million a year at most? Idk, it's a tough call.

Chris Jones, thank you.

I think that's an easy pick: you go with Wilkins.

First of all, that contract with Jones isn't going to work. It didn't work in 2023, it's sure as hell not going to work in 2024.

Second, the Dolphins just paid another defensive tackle, I think they're going to let Wilkins walk.

And for everything Jones brings as a captain and locker room leader, you're 100% getting it with Wilkins. He's not as good as Jones, but that's just not as important with Joe Cullen.

Veach needs to stop with the whole "look at all the advertising money you'll make" though, and just start pitching contracts. We've lost out on all the wide receivers doing that.

I'd go the opposite at DT. I'd go young and cheap and just throw draft resources at it, cheap free agents etc.

I'd probably look to spend at DE.

Maybe Chase Young.

That's interesting.... I don't know how that snap share is going to work.

Karlaftis/Omenihu/FAU are going to have large snap loads next year.

You've got George, Felix, AND Omenihu at DE. Why draft first rounders AND pay multiple free agents?

If im making a splash, that splash is a trade up for Marvin Harrison Jr.
