Welcome to this week’s version of Let’s Argue!
Let’s Argue is a recurring sequence that appears at sizzling takes, unpopular opinions, wacky predictions and extra from Kansas City Chiefs followers.
L’Jarius Sneed and Chris Jones might each be headed to new groups.
In terms of the NFL offseason, something is actually potential.
Nevertheless, I might be utterly surprised if normal supervisor Brett Veach let each Chris Jones and L’Jarius Sneed stroll out the door. With the 2024 salary cap set at $255.4 million, there’s an actual risk the Chiefs can retain each gamers.
As with all different negotiation, it would come right down to Veach’s quantity and in the event that they’re prepared to just accept it or vice versa.
There’s no denying the Chiefs don’t win Tremendous Bow LVIII with out the elite play of this protection. Even dropping one of your two greatest gamers on that aspect of the ball would harm rather a lot.
It’s going to be very fascinating to see how Veach performs it.
The Chiefs ought to pursue Mike Evans, main to six,000 yards for Patrick Mahomes in 2024.
Chiefs will pursue Mike Evans and Mahomes will throw for 6k yards

I hate to be the bearer of dangerous information, however Mike Evans won’t be a member of the Chiefs subsequent season.
Although Evans might be 31 when the brand new season kicks off, he’s coming off arguably the most effective season of his profession with Baker Mayfield throwing him the soccer. He completed the 12 months with 79 catches, 1,255 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns.
It’s greater than seemingly that this might be Evans’ final probability at a significant payday. It could be totally different if he didn’t have already got a hoop. Possibly then, you could possibly promote him on chasing for much less cash to solidify himself as a Professional Soccer Corridor of Famer, however he already has that.
Let this dream go, Chiefs Kingdom.
The operating again place needs to be getting broad receiver consideration.
RB room is as vital as WR room. Pacheco is nice, however want dependable choices behind him.

This isn’t a take you see typically, however I do suppose there’s some fact right here.
As dangerous because the broad receiver room was this season, the Chiefs had been nonetheless in a position to win the Tremendous Bowl. Granted, it took Patrick Mahomes utilizing his legs greater than you’d like.
Nonetheless, you’ve got a possible star in Rashee Rice.
You at the moment don’t have anything behind Isiah Pacheco, with Jerick McKinnon and Clyde Edwards-Helaire set to hit the free-agent market.
With McKinnon’s age and damage historical past, it’s unclear whether or not or not Veach needs to deliver him again for one more 12 months. With Clyde Edwards-Helaire, then again, it simply feels prefer it’s time to maneuver on from each events..
I’m not saying the Chiefs will spend massive cash on a operating again as a result of it simply wouldn’t make any sense. I do see a world the place they might deliver again McKinnon on an inexpensive one-year deal after which draft a man within the later rounds, a la Pacheco.
I’m nonetheless not a fan of Brett Veach.
I learn this as “I don’t like successful Tremendous Bowls.”
No normal supervisor is ideal, however, having acknowledged that, Veach was in a position to revamp this protection by nailing draft decide after draft decide (the apparent ones are George Karlaftis and Trent McDuffie).
Whenever you have a look at the later rounds, Sneed was a fourth-rounder, as was Joshua Williams. He additionally discovered a contributor in Jaylen Watson within the seventh spherical. How about Trey Smith within the sixth and Pacheco, like Watson, within the seventh?
Veach could also be the most effective govt within the NFL.
