Letting Chris Jones walk means the Chiefs will have about $60m to spend. They can use that to shore up the LT for the intermediate, bring back Sneed and Gay, and prepare for a payment to Humphrey and/or Trey Smith next year.
They can also make a splash. I don't see how the Bengals can afford DJ Reader while paying all the offensive skill guys what they want, and the Chiefs have the cap space and the massive need at DT. Reader shores up the run defense all by himself, while also providing an underrated pass rush. The Chiefs compliment him by dropping 2 of their highest 3 draft picks at DT: and that's how you make a weakness a strength.
I flipped a coin on bringing Danna back (didn't), and over Gay vs. Tranquill (Gay).
The Chiefs receiving corps is another year in and should be realizing their potential, but still lacks a natural Z, so Hardman returns for pennies on the dollar after riding the pine in New York.
Major reworking of the RB position, and voila. I think this team is Super Bowl competitive.
