HOT NEWS: Kansas City Chiefs’ Roster Reveals 3 Potential Cut Candidates Ahead of 2024 Offseason!!!
Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Kadarius Toney, Lucas Niang
Despite a less than flawless season, the Kansas City Chiefs secured their third Super Bowl title in five years with Patrick Mahomes’ talent and a resilient defense, triumphing over the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in Super Bowl LVIII. With aspirations for an unprecedented three-peat, the franchise’s offseason moves will be critical.
While acquisitions are crucial post-season, tough decisions loom regarding veteran players and their impact on the salary cap. Currently holding $22 million in cap space for 2024, the Chiefs face dilemmas with impending free agents like Chris Jones and L’Jarius Sneed. Here are the top three candidates for potential cuts as the Chiefs aim to create cap room:
Valdes-Scantling’s performance hasn’t justified his hefty price tag, with his 2024 cap hit of $13.98 million far exceeding his production. Cutting him this offseason would save the Chiefs $11.98 million, a significant boost to their cap space.
With lackluster stats and issues like drops plaguing his game, Toney’s $2.5 million salary could be better utilized elsewhere. Though releasing him would mean eating his entire salary, it’s a move that could benefit both the team and Toney.
