Doesn't matter what any players upside is

We want a GM that signs guys BEFORE they max out their talent level and trades/cuts a player BEFORE they lose that crucial step.

Knowing talent and be able to stay a step head of a player's talent curve is what makes a GM really good.

buy low,sell high

I think Dorsey has learned a lot his three years. After last offseason I'd trust him to make the best decision.

It's a shame a trade isn't an option...:D

Lane Johnson's contract extension is in no way, shape or form, "high end".

If a similar offer exists, Fisher should take it. He'd be set for life, the Chiefs would gain cap space and another piece of the puzzle will have taken care of itself for the foreseeable future.

If Fisher's play continues to ascend, he'd only be 31 years old if he saw the end of the 6 year extension which, if healthy, would allow him to cash in again in free agency.

If he improves this year, then let's lock him down.

One good year does not a career make after his first two shit seasons.

So the 3rd year of his career was good?

isn't that they case with virtually every player?

especially one with an injury that messed up his first 2 years because the team screwed up

One good year?

:facepalm:

The Chiefs should lock him down now. If they wait, he'll only become more expensive.

You're both right.

Fisher has only had one good year, but he needs to be locked down now.

Would be less sad to see Eric Fisher go than I was Hudson.

Just think if we would have been able to lock Houston up pre-2014. Probably would have costed 60 million TOTAL. Now, I know Fisher won't do what Houston did, but if he goes to a Pro Bowl? He's going to command a lot more than right now.

The higher priority was to lock Alex Smith up.

Like most others are saying, he is an ascending player... lock him up now before the rest of the league starts to take notice

True

If we lock him down now and he stops getting better or regresses? Then we have another Bowe situation.


All about the calculated risk.

Is johnson playing lt next year or peters? If he's playing rt then he got a sweet deal. I know he is supposed take over lt I didn't know when.

Not really, Alex Smith still had another year to go and was coming off a good year. The next year his numbers were less.

Hindsight tells us that signing Houston first would have saved up big,big money. Also might have saved us money on Smith's contract because it might have actually dropped a little.

QB > LB. Smith just went to the Pro Bowl and is only getting better.
