He'd let them all walk, pick up some scrap heap stopgap guys and draft a bunch of guys. This is what you must do when you have a Superstar QB.

I'd be fine with that if we had BB.

We desperately need to upgrade talent. With just some minimal improvements the AFC should be ours. Now is the time to strike.

Tag and trade is the most appealing option probably.

If the Packers offer their 2nd and a 2020 pick.....I'm taking it.

Releasing Houston, Sorensen, Ragland and Murray gives the Chiefs $54 million in cap space to work with.

The problem with that though is that you've gotta fill those spots with guys too.

It's gonna all come down to hitting on draft picks to play immediately.

Ragland has no position. You have Watts coming back. Pick up some pass rushers in FA and the draft for Houston.

It's 4 spots and $50+ million dollars. Sign some freaking UDFA's. The only guy on that list that might be marginally hard to replace is Houston.

This draft is stacked full of defensive talent. Load up picks and use the freed up money to land a free agent or two.

When do you ever see a player be tagged and traded?

Now is not the time to trade or release any of our great trio of passrushers in Jones, Ford and Houston.

Next year you can get rid of them, not this year. This is the offseason where this team is going all in heading into next season.

Man, I just don’t see how you lose Ford and Houston then expect this defense to be good in 2019

Because there are other players that can rush the passer other than those two.

You know....draft picks and FAs.

The one thing I'm not doing is paying a combined $37 million dollars for two DEs. Especially for one that can't stay healthy and one that can't stop the run.

Other than Houston I don't think that's going to be a challenging task

What ****ing spots exactly?

Lucas can be your third safety and take over for Sorenson.
Ragland is garbage and doesn't have a spot.
Murray is garbage and doesn't have a spot.

You can find a cheaper and younger DE for the $21 million that Houston is going to get paid.

Ford doesn't even really have a spot. They HAVE to tag him.

I'd love to keep Houston but they need that cap space back too.

Gonna be hard to get it all done but while you find it hard to expect the defense to be good if they're both gone, I find it hard to expect the defense to improve much if they're both still here.

They're about to be over $36 million dollars. For the two. Literally.

Well just about all of the FA’s won’t hit the market, and it’s hard to expect a rookie edge rusher to come in and be that guy day 1.

I understand we probably should get rid of 1, but I just don’t see them getting rid of both when they want to make a run.
