Chiefs fan here, and I’ll take the under.
Losses of Hunt and (probably Hill) are huge, and the defense is going to likely be a sieve with what they lost.
Gaining a new defensive coordinator. That may be more important than the players lost.

You may be right.Gaining a new defensive coordinator. That may be more important than the players lost.
They lost a few secondary players as well, though.Hunt won't hurt that bad, but it would be nice to have him. Hill doesn't look like he is part of the investigation, so I don't see why he would be gone. His name isn't on the investigation.
Defensively, they lost pass rushers. Ford had 1 good year and wasn't good against the run. Houston was aging and they needed to get younger. They werent good before, so not sure they can get worse. They need to stop the run, and it seems that what they are moving towards. Honey Badger will help, and they have the ability to make a few moves in the draft to move up to get more secondary help and an edge rusher.
We'll see. I think the offense hums along and if the defense gets even a tad bit better, they are looking at around 11 wins.
I think we're about to see some interesting QB decisions in the near future as far as roster construction goes. The Rams with Jared Goff and the Titans with Marcus Mariota and eventually the Bears with Mitch Trubisky - they've all shown flashes but haven't established themselves as true franchise QBs who can elevate the team. Once these guys are done with their rookie deals I wonder what their teams will do. Commit massive money to a QB they aren't totally sold on or draft another QB and allocate that cap space to other areas of the roster?
They lost a few secondary players as well, though.
Admittedly I haven’t been able to follow as closely in the past few weeks, so that’s why I just assumed Hill was in deep water since that came out.
