MVS (Save 12M, leaving 2M in dead money)
Extension Possibilities:
Thuney (Due 22.6M)
Reid (Due 14.25M)
Restructuring Mahomes (Saves a varying amount, for this thought experiment let's say it lowers his cap hit from 46.7M to 38M, saving 8.7M)
If we tagged Jones next year (if no deal worked out), we're looking at somewhere between 14M (no extensions or restructures) to north of 30M of cap space (restructure Mahomes and extensions)
I think we have enough wiggle room where if he plays this year and wants absurd money still, we can do a tag and trade next year.

MVS aint going anywhere. Average WR(past their rookie deal) = $10 million in todays NFL. He's a cheap WR in todays market.
Creed is first up nest year for a long term contract. He will break the record for a center and be the highest paid center in the game.
