You can absolutely bring in a bandaid on an easy to cut contract. Especially veterans who are willing to take more money up front. If Evans won't do that we've already has guys like obj, dhop... I'm sure Keenan Allen or a Corey Davis at some point. You pay for these guys by backloading guys you know will be here long term. You still have mahomes bonus money designed for this purpose. You still have Jones extension as an obvious candidate to free this up.
You don't want to abuse this by buying everything on credit. But every team has flexibility to backload. One short term bandaid isn't going to break the bank. It's the long term guys strapped to mega signing bonuses that become tougher to work around.

The guys you want here are going to have to be traded for and their contract either re worked or added to. So no, that won’t work. You have to have the money up front on that years cap, which we currently don’t.
Unless they get cut and wanna come here for a lot cheaper, no it won’t work.
They’ve invested a ton of resources on the offense, again, you just don’t seem to like where it’s invested.
