RNR is your NT if Logan isn't re-signed, a punter should be a undrafted Free Agent and the Chiefs have Ford and Houston as their starters, with Nicolas in development.

They're not spending massive amounts of money in Free Agency. Any replacements will be through the draft.

They're not going on some $40 million dollar shopping spree, even if they do release Smith. They'll use that dough to lock up Peters and others.

March is on his way to being a cut and Ramik Wilson will be a UFA next year. KPL is a FA too.

RNR is a FA next year.

They will have to add someone behind Ford, and ideally find his replacement if they aren't certain they will lock him up long term.
