I’d think if they added Collins the Chiefs would either be looking to use him as a LE in the 4man base alignment (Clark-Nnadi/Reed-Jones-Collins) or stand him up in a odd set, with Clark and Jones playing 5tech roles and Gay and Collins as your outside backers (335 look, basically).
It would give Spagnuolo some versatility in his defensive alignment and an odd front might let them maximize Jones’ skillset while making best use of what Clark is now. We’ve seen him stand a DE up a bit, but traditionally he likes those 4-man down lineups. Not sure it works.
It definitely would improve their matchup against teams that are looking to use their QB in the run game. Not sure it helps against a more traditional team like the Browns.
Though it would hopefully mean Ben Niemann is no longer an option except in case of injury at LB, so there’s that…
