Sneed you keep unless Connor is a major hit.
It'll be ok as long as you hit on a few of these picks.

My personal plan would mostly be in line with this. I'd consider cutting MVS next year for the 2m dead, depending on how Moore, Rice, Ross, Toney show out this year.
Reid can walk.
I think I would keep Thuney for 2025, and I would re-sign both Creed and Trey, their first year lower cap hits would overlap with Thuney's final year and then you look to get cheaper at LG after Thuney leaves/retires
I think the Chiefs probably keep Bolton and Sneed, and let Gay walk (or maybe bring back the cheaper of Gay and Tranquil on a sensible deal?).
No idea what to think about Toney yet, reserving judgement until seeing him play for another year. No idea if he's a WR1 or a replaceable gadget guy.
Doing all that, I think the team still looks great, obviously our opinions on these players could change in another year. I think the future looks good, but there still probably isn't room to throw 20m+ at a premier weapon for the 2024 season, even though the intial cap space number looks nice for 2024.
