Yeah, the Chiefs aren't gonna lose anybody they care about because of the cap. Veach will re-structure, etc., do whatever he needs to do.
I DO think they will move on from Sammy and ask Pringle to fill that role next year. DRob may be back again on another one year deal if he doesn't get an offer from someone else he likes, mostly because he knows the offense and they're not losing two regulars in the WR rotation next year.
I think they'll keep Hitch. He's actually played fairly well this year. Chiefs will re-do Fisher's deal and extend him, likely reducing his cap number for next year. I actually think Mitch will retire, but I may be wrong. We'll see, I guess.
On the secondary, we've got a lot of young talented guys (Fenton, Sneed, Keyes) so it won't kill us to lose a couple there. Breeland will likely get a deal somewhere else this off-season. Ward is a RFA, but I could see the Chiefs putting a 2nd round tender on him and someone else offering him a nice deal and the Chiefs just deciding to let him walk and taking the pick. I think they will bring Sorenson back on a short, fairly cheap deal. Spags really likes him and he's a valauable veteran piece of that secondary. They may also look to re-do Honey Badger's deal and extend him.
I do think all the O-Line guys that are eligible to leave they'll let walk. Sign maybe one FA and pick up a couple more in the draft (likely mid-round picks). They'll also have LDT and Niang coming back next year, which will help with depth.
All in all, they'll lose some pieces but no one major, unless you wanna argue Sammy or Ward are major. I won't and think they'll be just fine without both of them.
