According to Spotrac.com we're sitting at $25.5 million in cap space.

If that’s the case, HAVE to get rid of one of them.

25.5M is close to what Joel Corry suggested a week or so ago, and he’s a cap specialist guy. So it’s probably pretty accurate tbh.

It's going to be great when they spend their entire cap keeping Ford and Houston and neither one of them are healthy for the entire season next year.

You can't do it. Changes are coming. As much as we'd like to take the easy way out and "because Chiefs", it's not going to work like that anymore.

Definitely not as fast as we'd like, but I'm telling you; the scrutiny level on these players is headed WAY up. The "buddy-buddy" shit is slowly but surely going to end up in the trash can. There's only ONE player on this team who stays at all costs and who is "the face". Everyone else is expendable.

It has to do with bonuses and escalators built into the current contracts.

Starting with $25.5 million.

Cut: Houston, Sorensen, Ragland and Murray.

That gives you $44.5 million to work with.

Didn't both miss games in 2018?

Oh I forgot you wouldn't know. You don't watch games and aren't a fan.
You just parrot others.

Ford hasn't played a full season in almost TEN YEARS.

Technically, he was available for all 16 games his rookie year but he played so few snaps, he really didn't have a chance to get hurt.

For the most part of the second half of the season he didn’t have Hunt or Watkins. He still threw for 24 touchdowns.

Hell, he had no problem putting up points against Chris Harris, Talib, Von Miller etc... when he played with backup linemen, receivers, tight ends and running backs.

Because he still had Kelce and Tyreek.

And if you replace Houston with Ford that’s about $46.5M, either way, plenty to work with while losing one real contributor.

Know what’s crazy?

Tyreek didn’t catch a pass in the 2nd half
Kelce only had 23 yards and didn’t score
We only had 30 total rushing yards from our running game

We still scored 31 points.

The Patriots game? Kelce had a touchdown.

Welp I guess they weren’t ****ing around when they drafted Speaks. Looks like they are rolling with him.

I assume you're talking about the franchise tag?

One of these days I want to have a sit down with John Dorsey. No interview, no filming or taping, I just want to get get HIS take on what went down in KC because I'm getting REALLY ****ing tired of these false narratives regarding cap mismanagement. If the Head Coach and Owner are flat out TELLING you who gets signed, WHEN they get signed, and what you're going to give them, then how the **** is that HIS fault? It's bullshit.

And now THIS media clown wants to trade the OLB on the backside of his career, whose value is far less than the younger pass rusher that we could actually get REAL value for, assuming we can find a team willing to overlook his inability to play 16 games more than one season in a row, and keep the guy with ZERO mental acuity and leadership experience.
Great idea!

The people who want to keep Dee Ford will probably get their reeruned wish. But I've taken notes and when this turd ends up on the bench( most likely )or performs another brain fart in a crucial situation, I'm coming for scalps with no mercy shown.

Maybe you are the one printing the false narrative.

Do you have a link to the coach or owner flat out telling Dorsey anything about contracts?

Who got paid first again? Houston or berry?
