Chiefs Were Jones and Russel drafted to eventually replace Poe and Berry? - Page 2

**BossChief** · 04-29-2016, 10:20 PM

Gotta wonder...I know most probably don't want to hear it, though.

Both are probably wanting huge paydays as they are probably the premier players at their respective positions and KC doesn't have tons of cap space next year.

All three are going to command big time paydays and we probably don have enough to pay everybody.

Especially being they need to get a deal done with Berry just to open up enough space to sign these rookies.

I'll bet there's a 90% chance Fisher is extended soon.

Berry? I'm meh.

I don't think Poe is going anywhere and if so, the Chiefs will get some serious compensation.

I agree, but with the contracts these guys are going to want/need to be retained, it's gonna be tough to ink all 3.

I can see them drafting Billings incase things get ugly with Poe.

I would not answer that question definitively either way.

I would say, however, that they give us options.

Strictly depth.

**BossChief** · 04-29-2016, 10:38 PM

As of right now, we only have 24.5m in cap space for next year and that doesn't include Berry, Fisher, Poe or any of the rookies from this draft class or next years draft class.

The only cuts that make any sense are

Charles to save 7m
Colquitt to save 4
Mauga to save 3
Bray to save 1.2

By cutting all of them, we make it 40m in cap space

2 draft classes take up 10 of that.

30 left for Fish, Berry AND Poe?

I guess that can work.

you just answered your own question. We take on very little dead money for cutting Charles, Colquitt, Mauga they are as good as gone after this season, that money will be spent on the premier players you are afraid we won't have space for.

Idk, but our defense looks potentially insane for next year with athletes.

We can effectively rotate those 4 beasts on the interior, never allowing them to get fatigued.

We have the best LB corp in the NFL, period. March and Wilson may even push Mauga for his job.

And the secondary now, woo. Idk who is going to start at corner, but it's gonna be a battle. Deep at safety too.

Can it be September yet?

This is best case scenario, but there are injuries.

RunKC · 04-29-2016, 11:06 PM

The 2017 draft is supposed to be very strong at pass rusher. Lot of those guys coming out.

I'd draft to replace Tamba/Zombo

**DaFace** · 04-29-2016, 11:06 PM

Couldn't you ask this question for basically any position?

Sandy Vagina · 04-29-2016, 11:10 PM

Best 3 DL puts Bailey at DE. Howard and Poe could switch it up at NT and other DE spot.

Chris Jones is a pure DE. So if they don't get Poe re-signed, Howard goes NT.. which is fine for 2017.. and there is Jones----Howard----Bailey.

Russell has to be the plan as Sean's replacement at RCB.. and if things go south with Eric.. has the potential to be a S in 2017.

so like when we lost all of our pass rushers and our best WR in the playoffs

pugsnotdrugs19 · 04-29-2016, 11:13 PM

I've heard of some pretty talented defensive fronts, but on paper this is something else. I just pray that they use them right.

If they do, we're talking about really fresh versions of Poe/Bailey/Howard/Jones throughout every game, all season. They will wear OLs out.
