Other than that, guys are replaceable. This past offseason they replaced all 5 offensive linemen and some defensive players and they were fine. The just beat us without Honey Badger. Did they beat us or did we let them off the hook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chiefs designed the Mahomes contract (zero signing bonus) to have his contract able to convert salary to roster bonuses each year that frees up almost his entire cap hit for the year. The will do this until it's time to tear up the contract and make a new one. Additionally, Hill will be needing a new contract and they can significantly lower his cap hit. Same with Chris Jones, who also had no signing bonus. The only FA they need to resign is Orlando Brown, who has overperformed many expectations. He had a rough start but has looked like a top 5 LT. They could tag him. I like Mathieu, but the Chiefs would be wise to let him walk. He had his worst year this year and is a twitter headcase. They will need to replace his leadership though because after he left the game the DB"s were confused and a mess. Additionally, they will get two extra 3rd round picks for the GM hiring and if Eric Bienemy gets hired for a HC they get another 3rd round pick. (I disagree with this affirmative action type carrot-rule) If they can continue to draft even half as good as they did this last draft then they are going to be in the SB conversation for the next decade. That is not really true. He has minimum salary and most is already roster bonus which can be restructured. BUT all his signing bonus and restructure bonus has to be paid. There is nothing "magical" about his contract. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/patrick-mahomes-21751/ The Bills can restructure Josh Allen just as much. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/josh-allen-25102/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
