Not to mention, if you do this, no Jones, and no Sneed, and perhaps no Bolton/Creed.
It just sends us back to stars and scrubs, and I think the last two years have taught us that having quality depth is very important and a big reason why we won two Superbowls despite our fair share of injury problems.

No, it doesn't.
It makes it a bit tougher on you, but you're gonna have to keep drafting anyway. With the way the Chiefs are winning, alot of these current guys on the team are gonna want to be paid accordingly.
Everyone wants to keep our own free agents, which is smart, but really....it's probably Bolton and Creed maybe and the rest are replaced. They could do a Jefferson deal if they wanted. It would cost a bit more than it would cost the Jags or the Texans, because of our draft spot, but they could do it.
Everyone gets up in arms that "we can't pay this or that, we'll lose this player" when we are currently paying a RT 20 plus million a year and a LG 26. You can drop the LG off and pay Jefferson spreading out the money to hit when Thuney is gone.
The bigger issue is gonna be the picks you'd give up IMO. You need those to keep developing as we lose guys. But we've been so good at hitting on mid and late round guys that you could cover it if you wanted.
