Even though the report is that $15M is guaranteed, given the signing bonus, the first 3 years are pretty much guaranteed. The cap hit to cut him in year 3 will probably be about the same as the cost to keep him.

So we're looking at a Robert Quinn type deal.

This is a big blow for them they are hurting at CB.

The*San Diego Chargers*have given up on the idea of getting*Jason Verrett*back this season.

The teamannounced Saturday*that Verrett has been placed on injured reserve. The first-round pick had been attempting to rehab his left shoulder, which has a labrum tear in three places in addition to a rotator cuff tear.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported later in the day that Verrett*will have shoulder surgery this week, per a source who has spoken to the cornerback. The source also informed Rapoport that the cover man is expected to make a full recovery before next offseason.

Good, makes our rematch game against them an easier matchup.

Didn't he have injury issues in college too?

Not really, he only had that should injury his final year I believe. Had to get it fixed during the draft process.

Remember reading alot of teams had taken him off their board because they thought the shoulder would always be an issue

Nah, they dropped him because he measured under 5'10" at the combine.

You are an idiot. Almost all the guaranteed money was paid up front.

There were pre-draft concerns. #durability. RT:@UTgehlken: Chargers have placed Jason Verrett (shoulder) on IR. Labrum tear too significant.

I'm not looking for links but I vaguely remember seeing stuff about it

From a cap hit standpoint, ten of the 15m guaranteed is spread throughout the contract. But yeah... This is not an expensive contract. That part I agree with you

Will never happen.

Stuck, we are.

Fair contract, he's been very solid this year and earned the extension.

I keep telling you but you keep not listening about the cap increase... The Chiefs already have just over 135 million tied up next year in top 51 contracts before this move and before the Sherman move. The cap increases from 133 to 140 million next year. 140 - 135 = 5. They an rollover about 4.5 from this year. In the other thread they have 9.1 million with the cap rollover. They need, probably, at least 8 of that to sign the draft class.

That leaves you with the pool you described plus about 1 million. Justin Houston, if retained is easily going to cost near the upper echelon of pass rush contracts, which means about 14 million cap hit, on average per year. We'll see how that shakes, but it would have to be awful friendly to the Chiefs in 2015 and escalate to rather enormous numbers thereafter to hit what he'll command. So if you are intent on re-signing Houston, that ate up your pool.

That leaves you with Hali to do anything else of note, which would also include re-signing Hudson, who will probably command somewhere in the 4.5 to 7 million per range.

Even if you do all that, you have to re-sign some of the other 17 free agents the Chiefs have out there, most notably you'll need to re-sign about 10 of them. Even if they average out at league minimums, you're going to need around 9 million in space to do that.

My, your tone changed quickly.
