They aren't gonna extend Ford beyond the franchise tag and unless he doesn't produce all year, they aren't cutting Houston yet. I think they will try to sign Earl for sure unless Berry proves capable of staying on the field.
I also think you can take it to the bank that Tyreek Hill will be extended this offseason. Veach is not going to repeat Dorsey's mistakes of kicking the can down the road with elite players.

Just checked and Raglands salary is just over $1m for 2019, would be insanity to cut him.
I'm also not sure about cutting Sorenson, he's due $4.5m and dead cap would be $2m so seems not worth the cut unless you're desperate for that tiny bit of extra cap space, log jam at safety not withstanding.
Also can't see Pringle in the cuts or the team, I feel like he's the next good WR for Mahomes.

This. He's a bargain. You bring him back for quality depth if nothing else.
