uhhhh....35 TD's is nowhere near mediocre.

A decent defense could mean fewer TD passes and more running the ball, protecting big leads in the second half.

At any rate, it's not really realistic to expect Pat to put of 50 every year, I mean he's only the 3rd guy ever to do it period in the first place.

I mean, thanks Tom. But that's been expected all along.

35 passing TDs is mediocre? ROFL

Exactly.

I hear they're trying to make him a coach.

In the video they say the Chiefs Defensive staff was finalized last week. Wondering why nothing official has come from the Chiefs.

The franchise record was 30, which stood forever. CP never fails to entertain.

Probably because if Spags has a conference he has to say what they expect Dee Ford to be in his new scheme. If he says DE the Chiefs have to pay him $2m more.

Or get rid of Ford and we have 15.8 million more

So this is the third time I have heard that the Chiefs are trying to figure out what to do with Justin Houston and Eric Berry since our season ended. First it was from Mellinger, then Rappoport and now Pelissero.

Something is happening with these guys. Idk what, but there’s too much smoke to think otherwise.

I'd imagine they'll go to them and ask about a restructure or lowering their money or they'll cut them.

Easier to do with Houston for sure.

Dee Ford is going to end up getting over $17M, he's a defensive end now.

As for the cap space, you factor in PPE and bonuses and another $3M disappears. $4-5M for rookies. Sign Tyreek Hill and Chris Jones and the rest of it is gone.

They're not signing any marquis free agents. They don't have any money to do so.
