LNBS-Looking at the 2018 Salary Cap

[RunKC]

Holy shit what a mess. Here are the top 25 paid players, basically everyone with a cap hit of $1 million plus:



Couple of things stand out here:

-Tamba is gone.
-No way in hell is DJ playing for $10.25 million.
-Dee Ford has no dead money unless his back is ****ed.
-No way should Allen Bailey play for an $8 million cap hit.
-Ron Parker’s value deal is over. $7 million cap hit is way too high for him.
-Revis will be decided in March. Doubt he’s back.
-Dirty Dan is $4.8 million to our cap. Holy shit.

There should be some cuts/restructures coming. I think we might see a lot of new faces on defense next year.

Other than that the article was pretty solid.

If you cut Revis, then you pretty much HAVE to go out and get a FA corner to replace him.

Yes, but with Revis set to cost somewhere around $10M to the 2018 cap once his salary becomes guaranteed, virtually any corners they sign will be cheaper for the 2018 season.

I'd just go grab someone else that can be relied on for 3-4 years, and draft one too.

Nothing to adamantly disagree with in that AP article really

I'd like to see both Bailey and Revis take a shave and stick around, have waffled on both lately but just hate to create more glaring holes that will need to be filled... keeping both at a lower price that helps Veach shop around for push/depth at those spots would be ideal

Its not like Bailey is a total bum, and I'm willing to forgive Revis on some of his tackling 'attempts'... keeping Ford in his contract year also seems like a no-brainer

And replace him with whom?

The Chiefs had tried replacing him with O'Shaugnessy, Travis, Escobar and Orson Charles and unfortunately, they are all worse than Harris.

I think he'll actually be better with Mahomes at QB.

If Orson Charles makes 1 goddamned catch on his hip the Chiefs beat Tennessee. Harris drops 30% of his targets but he seems to be getting better, he needs to stay unless there's an obvious upgrade and not some developmental bum.

We can only hope.

The Chiefs can't afford to spend a quality draft pick on the tight end position and free agency doesn't offer much in the way of an affordable yet productive tight end.

Maybe Jace Amaro will learn how to stay healthy...

He might get more looks like the time that Alex didn't throw him the ball in the Titans game in the 3rd quarter after the turnover. However in the end Harris' biggest issue is drops and that's not on Alex.
