Hopefully Bolton doesn’t rape us.

I think this is the most likely outcome unfortunately. Trey is gonna get $21 million APY.

Hoping we can keep Hopkins, Hardman and Juju on fair deals, maybe Uche if he’ll agree to a fair deal and extend Thuney’s deal to free up cap space and push that can down the road a bit.

Hicks can replace Reid. Wanya will likely replace Trey and we’ll look for a LT somewhere.

Would hate to have to replace Thuney, Smith & Morris in the same offseason… leaving Creed and Taylor.

Especially when Mahomes’ confidence is seemingly tied to the amount of pressure he gets.

Willie Gay is a free agent this year, right?

Maybe they move Tranquill to Mike and bring Gay back at Will.

Oh yeah I would totally do that. Not sure Spags will let it happen though unfortunately

This shows that they would not pay all of those salaries at once if they kept Trey.

The uplift on spending on the Oline would only go up ~$5m if they kept Trey. Most of the Chiefs contracts work this way. https://t.co/GTxUukJ2Gm pic.twitter.com/MegbKUbSXA

ESPN had WR Higgins over Trey Smith as the #1 FA… I just don’t see it, Higgins isn’t that special, his numbers aren’t that great IMO. Trey Smith is the #1 NFL FA this year.
