That certainly makes a lot of sense.

Plus I'm working off of the assumption that Clark and Jones are gone after this year in my head as well. |

And if we do nothing more than we've done thus far and cut them both outright next off-season with neither of them hitting any of their incentives, they'll STILL cost $14 million on our cap next season. The caps getting WORSE for us next year, not better. Especially if we take Hill and Brown and negotiate their Year 1 figures down to kick it out into next season. We gotta re-load a bit.

Really, at this point, they may be well served to consider transitioning Wharton out to DE.
I mean he's always moved more like a stand-up OLB. And at 6'4'', 260 he has the build for it. He also has really good first-step quickness for a large man. I'd have him working from the 5-technique next year and I think he could do it fairly well. He reminds me a bit of RNR on the inside in that he's just not steady enough in there in the run game to be more than a 3rd down rusher. Whereas if you put him on the edge, he might play up a bit in run defense without losing a lot against the pass.

The cap is exploding every year. I don’t know that I’d slow down on anything.

Nah.
Weakside but not with an Under alignment that would swing him out to a 7 technique kind of player. I think a 4-3 under leaves him homeless, at least on the edge. Not stout enough for SDE, not agile enough for LEO. So a 4-3 over w/ the SDE at the 7 to maintain leverage on the TE and the Weakside DE at a straight up 5.

Guess what happens if you plan for the cap to be less and it goes up more? You have more money to play around with. When it's the opposite...you end up ****ed.

Meanwhile if you plan for it to go up less and operate accordingly, if it does go up more than expected, you've created a competitive advantage, even if slight.

If you're out there advocating for dumping 1st round picks for aging veterans and tossing 8 figure AAVs at every brokedick DE or WR on the market, it's NOT because you're confident.
Your fear is that the Chiefs aren't good enough. I don't share that fear. My fear is....math. I have a little more confidence in my fear being proven correct than I do yours.
