The Chiefs have zero -- zero -- 1-techs under contract for 2023, and there's a couple names I love there but I wouldn't call them intriguing.

Looking for a true 1-tech is never super interesting (it's a pretty boring position), true.

But I see some names at DT that would be pretty interesting/exciting. Da'Ron Payne, if he gets to free agency, among them (Commanders may franchise tag him, but it is not an easy decision). He's capable of playing the 1-tech and has made big strides as a pass rusher. Fletcher Cox and Javon Hargrave both have plenty left in the tank and each offers big upgrades as a pass rusher. Onyemata, too.

I guess my thought is that if you're looking to upgrade the pass rush, adding another kick-ass pass rushing DT shouldn't be completely discounted.
