The Chiefs have about $50m in cap space for next year, but Jones' contract will probably eat 30 of that. That remaining $20m is what Veach likes to start with, ensuring he can sign his rookie class and that he can have extra scratch to do some deals throughout the season.
That means the Chiefs will need to carve out some space with Thuney/Mahomes/Taylor extensions/restructures if they see fit.
For the record, I believe they have Smith and Humphrey for two more seasons anyway. I really don't know what they're going to do with Sneed, and his contract demands will probably tell the tale of what happens to him.

Agree with most of this but Veach will make Creed the highest paid center in the league next year. I think they allow Thuney to walk and sign Trey just because of the age thing. We will also let Gay go and sign Bolton. Mahomes redo of his contract wont hurt our cap space the first year.
2025 the cap is going to explode up. These will look like bargains.
