I don't think we can pay Jones AND Brown.

That's 38 players, and then even with some trade ups in the draft they Chiefs are still probably drafting 7 guys, and you are at 45/53 with minimal cap expended.

That doesn't even count the cheap 1 year deals the Chiefs always do, e.g Burton, a veteran DE, maybe Saunders, bringing Bush, Bell back etc.

Great point.

We are in great shape.

The good thing about Brown is that he's still young. I would prefer him playing on the tag again unless his expectations have reset after this season. I'd love to slide him over to RT but I think he would be more butt hurt over that than taking less money. All in all, the Chiefs have some control over that situation which is good.

And Chris Jones, you just pay that man. Hard to imagine the Chiefs D without him.
