Welcome to this week’s version of Let’s Argue!
Let’s Argue is a recurring collection that appears at sizzling takes, unpopular opinions, wacky predictions and extra from Kansas Metropolis Chiefs followers.
L’Jarius Sneed and Chris Jones may each be headed to new groups.
With regards to the NFL offseason, something is definitely attainable.
Nevertheless, I’d be fully surprised if normal supervisor Brett Veach let each Chris Jones and L’Jarius Sneed stroll out the door. With the 2024 wage cap set at $255.4 million, there’s an actual chance the Chiefs can retain each gamers.
As with all different negotiation, it is going to come all the way 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 shedding one in every of your two finest gamers on that aspect of the ball would damage so much.
It’s going to be very attention-grabbing 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 is not going to be a member of the Chiefs subsequent season.
Though Evans shall 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 yr with 79 catches, 1,255 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns.
It’s greater than seemingly that this shall be Evans’ final probability at a significant payday. It will be totally different if he didn’t have already got a hoop. Possibly then, you can 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 must be getting vast 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 vast receiver room was this season, the Chiefs have been nonetheless capable of win the Tremendous Bowl. Granted, it took Patrick Mahomes utilizing his legs greater than you’d like.
Nonetheless, you have got a possible star in Rashee Rice.
You presently 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 harm historical past, it’s unclear whether or not or not Veach desires to convey him again for an additional yr. 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 huge 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 convey again McKinnon on an affordable 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 capable of revamp this protection by nailing draft choose after draft choose (the apparent ones are George Karlaftis and Trent McDuffie).
If 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 government within the NFL.
