Yes FA costs money, but you need to spend some to solidify things. The DL/pass rush was a joke last season. Attack it.
Sammy Watkins better be a 1000 yard, 8 td receiver....

30-40MM in cap space next offseason. KC isn’t going through a re-build, but they are going through a youth movement. Veach/Reid are not interested in players 30+ and they aren’t interested in 1-year deals...making the pool of players they 1) want and 2) can afford this offseason fairly small. KC has a 3-4 year window to build a juggernaut while Mahomes is on his current deal. No reason to panic, over-pay, or step outside of that mindset.
The upcoming draft will be VERY crucial to the immediate success of this team over the next 3-4 years.
