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.

how bad is the Franchise Tag on a guard?

It's basically tackle-grade.

I think you have to spend resources to trade up and get a LT in the 1st round.

Move Morris to RG. Kingsley is your swing.

Pay Bolton, bring back cheaper impact players like Omenihu (who I think will be manageably cheap) and Brown. Drop a resource or three for a RB, and keep that secondary bodied out.

That should keep the team Super Bowl competitive.

Wow. Verderame said Veach made a huge push to sign Trey Smith in the Summer. Really tried to get that done but couldn’t.

Also said they tried talking to Bolton and he didn’t want to talk about an extension. Wtf

I bet he tried to give Trey and Creed twin deals.

Probably tried to get Bolton on a discount after injury-riddled 2023 season. Probably gonna turn into another OBJ situation.

I hope we can keep some of em but at the same time I really DGAF. The money would be nice to have too cause I am sure there are numerous FAs who would love to come play for the Chiefs. Or, we can focus on retaining the 2022 draft class.

Either way, we are gonna be acquiring some more nice young cheap pieces next draft that we need.
