Chiefs on verge of a deal with Andy Reid (merged) (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=268357)

This was year 2 of 5 for Breaston.

He's scheduled to make $3.8m.

Oh hell, that's easy to deal with then. Yeah - we'll be glad to have him around in 2013, IMO.

McCluster and Wylie should fight it out for one roster spot in 2013.

I think Breaston will be fine under Reid.

still think we need more speed at WR though

I really like Breston's potential an a Reid offense. He could be a great fit as the #3 WR.

And if Tavon Austin ends up available in the 2nd, I'm on board with taking him now as I think he could be similar to DeSean Jackson.

We’re told Breaston received $5 million to sign and a $700,000 base salary in 2011. His $1.8 million base salary in 2012 is guaranteed for injury only and he has a $1.3 million roster bonus in 2012. It appears the Chiefs could get out of this after one year and less than $6 million but I can’t envision a scenario with that happening.

In 2013, his base salary is $3.8 million, in 2014 it’s $3 million and in 2015 it’s $4.1 million. He has $200,000 workout bonuses from 2012-2015 and $1 million reporting bonuses in 2014 and 2015. He has another $500,000 in escalators available each year from 2012-2015.

OC - Brad Childress
QB - Pederson
RB - ????
WR -
OL - Juan Castillo
DC - Rivera?
DL -
LB -
DB - Keep Emmitt Thomas?
ST -

Fill in teh gaps!

Reported that he wants Deuce Staley for RB coach, but not sure if Eagles will let him leave.

Breaston's contract gets out of control after year 2.

Don't think he sticks.

So is it still not official yet?

Eagles already nixed that idea.

Noooooooo. Austin has absolutely filthy speed. Bailey does not.

40 times be damned, Tavon Austin is as fast in pads as anyone I've seen this season. He'd be an absolutely perfect deep threat alongside Bowe.

Bailey doesn't really impress me, to be honest. He looks like a Robert Woods type. Nothing about him jumps off the page to me.

Reid still is not a Chief. Just sayin'

Just think, next year at this time we will be looking forward to a playoff game. It's really hard to wrap your mind around that concept but I think I can get used to it. I know that KC has the best BBQ in the country but I hope there are some places that make good cheese steaks too because Andy will become comatose if he has to live without his cheese steaks. On the serious side I really like this move and give Clark credit for reviving the fan base.

Word.

So basically if he's here in 2013.....he's at $5 million? That includes his base salary plus his reporting and workout bonus.

Nope and I have a feeling it won't be. not today anyway

He did play all year with a HAS, so there is that.

Anyway, best way to solve this whole speed thing, IMO, is send a 2 or 3 rounder to the Eagles for Maclin.
