I don't think you can. This is a playoff team and even if that's all it is, that's still another season of live-fire for guys like Peters, Kelce, Hill, Jones and Ford. These are the young guys that need to experience playoff football.

If you just give away a season (and yes, that's what you'll be doing with Mahomes under center; the schedule is likely to be damn tough at the front based on what teams are projecting), you've lost the opportunity to get those snaps for your young core. Hell, even as a backup, Mahomes could get something from the intensity of playoff preparation.
Nah, there's too much long-term value to be gained by a successful season and even a single playoff game to just wad it up and toss it for a season's worth of cap relief and a 3rd round pick.
