The Kansas City Chiefs (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/kansas-city-chiefs) list of 2018 NFL free agents has a few notable names, including WR Albert Wilson (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/245881/albert-wilson). After seeing him go for 150 yards against the Broncos (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/denver-broncos) last week and seeing this offense without him, Wilson (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/255778/ramik-wilson)’s return is more of a priority. I don’t know if the Chiefs will be able to bring him back but he would be a nice addition to a receiver corps that needs the experience.
C Zach Fulton (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/245863/zach-fulton) is the other name that jumps out to me. He provides so much value as a backup center and even starting guard. The Chiefs would’ve been in trouble this year without him when Mitch Morse (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/254481/mitch-morse) went down. I didn’t realize how much of a luxury he is until he was needed. Hopefully the Chiefs can bring him back or identify another jack-of-all-trades lineman like him.
Finally, P Dustin Colquitt (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/2360/dustin-colquitt)’s name jumps out. The Chiefs made him the NFL’s highest paid punter back in 2013 (https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/3/4/4064144/chiefs-dustin-colquitt-contract) so that contract is just now running out. I want to say I expect the Chiefs to bring Colquitt back but I also look at how seemingly easy it was for them to replace Cairo Santos (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/245873/cairo-santos) with Harrison Butker. This could also be affected by whether Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub gets a head coaching job this year (https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2018/1/1/16837864/colts-expected-to-interview-two-chiefs-assistant-coaches-report-says).
Those are the names that jump out to me the most. There are others — like FB Anthony Sherman (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/130892/anthony-sherman), LB Kevin Pierre-Louis (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/245068/kevin-pierre-louis) and DE Jarvis Jenkins (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/130965/jarvis-jenkins) — who I would have interest in bringing back but maybe not at the level of the others mentioned above.
Chiefs 2018 free agents

*Note this list of free agents comes from Over The Cap (https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/kansas-city-chiefs/) and is NOT official from the Chiefs yet. It seems like every year there’s a contract void that makes someone a free agent we didn’t know about or a restricted free agent is listed inaccurately. So stay tuned for the official list. Also, here is a very good league-wide resource (http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nfl/77018/309/2018-nfl-free-agent-tracker) from Rotoworld.
QB Tyler Bray (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/194831/tyler-bray)
FB Anthony Sherman
WR Albert Wilson
NT Bennie Logan (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/193463/bennie-logan)
CB Phillip Gaines (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/245865/phillip-gaines)
CB Kenneth Acker (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/245062/kenneth-acker)
C Zach Fulton
P Dustin Colquitt
CB Terrance Mitchell (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/245487/terrance-mitchell)
LB Kevin Pierre-Louis
WR De’Anthony Thomas (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/1909/anthony-thomas)
G Jordan Devey (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/194301/jordan-devey)
S Steven Terrell (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/194791/steven-terrell?_ga=2.255457537.881018065.1515016994-564238235.1514830574)
DE Jarvis Jenkins
RFA: LB Ramik Wilson (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/254586/ramik-wilson)
RFA: DE Rakeem Nunez-Roches (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/254584/rakeem-nunez-roches)
ERFA: LB Terrance Smith (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/127149/terrance-smith)





So names that need to be resigned are:

Rakeem Nunez-Roches

Albert Wilson

Honestly that's all that jump out at me that need to be resigned


Colquitt I think we will find a cheaper replacement probably through the draft

Logan has for the most part been a disappointment

Sherman I would hate to lose but nobody uses a FB anymore for that money

Alex will go. Colquitt will go. Maybe Sherman. But we might trade Ware and keep Sherman. We'll keep Wilson but he won't be cheap.
