The guessing game says if you guys want what you want, there just isn't the space to do all of it. You have to give in a couple of places.
Running the scenario (I'll put below) that puts kind of a good portion of what everyone wants into a bag sans re-signing Chris Jones (extend Humprhey, Smith, and Reid, re-sign Sneed and Tranquill, and fill in the holes in the roster puts us at having to cut MVS and Omenihu plus push $30.9m Mahomes money. That's provided I'm relatively accurate with numbers, which I'm speculating aren't going to be terribly far off...
This scenario skimps at LT plus not having Jones or Gay back. If you want to sign a LT, then you must give it somewhere else. Maybe you gotta draft a LB instead of re-signing Tranquill and you don't cut Toney, etc.
