Bailey's ability is pretty obvious at this point; he hasn't gotten a drop better in 3 years (in some ways he's gotten worse, IMO). I don't think there'd be a massive market for an obviously plateaued 29 yr old player who's new to whatever system he's put in (and is, to be completely frank, a very stupid man by all accounts). Could be wrong.

Yes, which is why it's difficult to see the Chiefs move on from Bailey, Parker, Sorenson and maybe even Zombo.
Smith, DJ and Hali are definitely goners but that might be the extent of the big contract guys. While Gaines isn't likely to return, it would be surprising to see them give up on a guy like Acker, who will likely play for Vet Minimum. If Revis finds the Fountain of Youth in 2017, it wouldn't be surprising to see him stick in 2018. Veach will need to draft extremely well and make trades like he did this year for the Chiefs to be competitive in 2018, especially considering their most recent 2-8 run. |

Thing is, they were only a few plays from it going either way in a lot of those games, as bad as they played. Very easily could have been 4-2 thru it, or even better. I don't think it'll take a lot to turn around the defense but what they need, isn't easy to find. An OLB that isn't shit, another DL or 2 and a corner. A lot of it is going to have to be guys already here improving and or continue to play well. |

You have to consider that the 2018 team will essentially be adding Eric Berry to what we have seen this year... that's a major difference maker for a defense. They should be better for that alone.

But the fact of the matter is that Houston and Berry will be 29 years old to start next season and no one know how Berry, Conley and Ware are able to perform. Veach will need to hit on at least 3 players in the draft, meaning Week 1 impact players, and guys like Chesson, Robinson, Ragland, Eligwe, Jones and Kpassognon will need to ascend. That's a lot to ask, especially with what will essentially be a rookie starting QB. |

The defense wouldn't be as shitty if they had another OLB that didn't suck rushing the passer like Zombo and the DL played with intensity all the time.
Exhibit A: Last Sunday. |

Those guys hurt losing though for sure. If Mahomes opens up the offense a little more than Smith does, which isn't likely early Smith has been good this year, it'll go along way. I'm interested to see how the rest of the year plays out. They seemed to have a defeatist mentality after the Steeler loss that took a while to get over. Hopefully thats done. |

It's perplexing why they won't increase his snap count and get him rushing the passer. It's crazy that the guy only needs to take 2 steps and he's in the QB's face because his arms are so damn long.

2018 Salary Cap
Rush the passer, sure, but unless you’re planning on paying him $20m per year to only play 3rd downs he’ll have other responsibilities. Can he rush the passer at 3-4 DE and also take on double teams in the run game? Does he have the lateral mobility to drop into coverage at 3-4 OLB when we decide not to send him after the QB? Can he rush from the interior as opposed to the edge? |
