No ****ing excuses why Albert shouldn't have a new contract this season.

Theres no excuse why Carr and Bowe werent signed, and everyone else with an upcoming contract issue shouldnt be signed, provided its reasonable.

I wonder if Hunt has been talking to Glass too much. At least Pioli has been hitting fairly well with the guys he does bring in.

And before it starts, I understand you don't spend money for the sake of spending money. You have to choose your shots and spend wisely. But getting Carr would've been completely reasonable, especially with a front-loaded deal.

How are the eagles up there with us?

Anyways, SNR is right Albert should already be signed to a longterm deal

They must have front-loaded all those deals when they got all of those free-agents a while back. That's the only thing I can come up with without actually looking it up.

You can't win them all. Pioli did very well on Hali, DJ, Flowers, and Charles the year prior. This offseason he was 0 for 2, but he gets a second chance on one of them. If we can get through three years of contacts to extend and negotiate of key home-grown players losing only Brandon Carr along the way, I'll call that a victory.

But he needs to finish it out. Albert and Bowe are the most important. They both need to stay in Kansas City long-term for our window to remain open several more seasons. It would be great if he could extend Colquitt and re-sign some guys like Daniels and Gafford whose contracts are up at the end of this year.

The 2013 free agency pool sucks ass.

Is anybody hitting the market that's worth big money that isn't going to be immediately franchise tagged?

Pioli should drop some serious money during this season. Sign Albert, sign Colquitt, sign Dorsey, sign Hillis. Keep the tag open for Bowe.

Keep a team core for the next few years. This is a really difficult 2013 offseason.

i think the outcome of the season (and Cassel) will depend on if these guys want to stay with a losing/mediocre culture or leave for maybe a better team/a team that wins or for more money.

Hard to do the Patriots Way and lowball young players when your team and your crap QB cant ****ing be a consistent winner.

If the team wins this season it will be much more easier for Pioli to sell these guys on a prayer and a hope, that is Matt Cassel

OH! we did have room for Peyton afterall...

we had room for pretty much anyone we wanted lol

I don't know the exact details of what he's getting, but I'm guessing we could have paid him most of his existing contract all in his first year here.

Not that I want that brokeneck horseface on my team anyways.

Albert and Bowe, and Dorsey should be signed.

Wouldn't that number increase if they get TJ to renegotiate his deal?

Here's the problem.

We need an aggressive move in the 2013 offseason to land us the next quarterback of the future.

We need to trade from the low 20s to like #5 overall or something.

We need to make a noise that will scream WE WANT A CHAMPIONSHIP.

We need to resign our tackle, keep Bowe and make him happy, bring back Hillis and Albert and yes even Dorsey because, let's face it, getting that QB is going to take so much effort we cannot afford to replace him on the DL. Bring in the best backup corner in free agency.

March into 2013 with an elite QB prospect, two stud WRs locked up for years, the league's best backfield with an elite OL. An experienced, powerful DL with tons of versatility and Poe entering his second year. A linebacking corps complete with passrushing, coverage ability, and line of scrimmage power, and a deep, versatile secondary.

If the QB doesn't pan out, who gives a shit? Find the one you want, trade the world in 2013 to get him, sign all your talent, and give that QB the best possible education money can buy.

This QB class looks very solid, so moving up that high may not be necessary.
