Linder's age, cap hit and history of injuries makes him an unlikely candidate for trading as well. If this team makes any type of trade it's going to be something that comes out of left field.

Josh Allen, Dawuane Smooth & K'Lavon Chaisson are more likely to be traded due to overall value and former first round status.

When you only have four wins in two years and a year coming off of being dead last in the rankings offensively and damn near close defensively? Your stock and value is low already. Making you that much less desirable.

Until free agency and the draft are settled I still think these guys will be here. A new coaching staff brought on this late in the year with a holdover in Baalke still in place to make personnel decisions is why I think this will be the case.

You still need some degree of continuity. I don't expect this team to be too splashy next month. April is going to be where this team really has to earn it's bread and butter.

That could be "coach speak" building him up, so other teams might express interest in trading for him, because anyone that watches him play knows he doesn't fit into a 3-4 scheme. 

I don't think any team in the NFL would give up anything at all for K'Lavon Chaisson. He is a complete "bust." If we could trade him, I would in a heartbeat, but I don't even think any team would even offer their assistant equipment manager for him. Chaisson needs to be cut. Period. He's as useless as teats on a boar hog. 

In the 25+ years I've followed this team people have talked about the need for continuity, even after seasons in which the team performed terribly. You know what that has gotten us? Continued failures. The Chiefs went out and got an entirely new O-Line. No continuity at all and they improved. Continuity is completely overrated and it's unnecessary when you have bad players.

Everyone else you keep, trading subpar players for next to nothing won’t help us.  We need to draft good players and when we have a plethora of depth with stars all over the roster, we can talk trading away guys who may not see the field much but offer great value to other teams. Sure, we could trade our player now, but for what? 6th round picks? You’re better off rolling the dice on UDFAs.

Trading bad players for anything is better than keeping bad players. At least the picks you trade them for could turn into something. Teams have found valuable starters and backups in the later rounds. I'd rather trade a liability for something, rather than keep that liability.

Did the Chiefs really improve though? They were out of sync a few times all year and had to pull a miracle out of their [BLEEP] to beat Buffalo followed by a let down against the Bengals. There's also reports of a rift between Bieniemy and Mahomes. He's very likely not coming back.

Also. Comparing an Andy Reid coached football team with Hill and Kelce on the offense spearheaded by a QB that's played like an MVP is probably the primary reason that team looks successful.

It's hard to get continuity here because the team [BLEEP] sucks. That's why you get tier III and tier IIII free agents at a tier II contract rate. Again, they're going to have to hit home in the draft and rely on what they already have.

A lot of it's fixing to come down to how quickly and comfortably Pederson and Lawrence can become a successful muscle and brain's operation to get this franchise out of the basement.
