Also, I wasn't implying he was dogshit but that the rest of the list, outside of the guys I mentioned, were dogshit. That said, I have a hard time believing that Coughlin will let him walk, especially if they tank this year with Bortles and decide to draft a QB in the first. Robinson would be the rookie's best friend. |

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agen...ensive-tackle/ There aren't any inside linebackers that will command much money, if anything over Vet Min http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agen...de-linebacker/ The best of the OLB's (Melvin Gordon, Vontaze Burfict) will likley be re-signed by their current teams. The rest of the list (outside of Aldon Smith, someone I think the Chiefs would absolutely avoid) is pretty meh and certainly not deserving of a huge deal. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agen...de-linebacker/ Quote:
Furthermore, the Chiefs have really pretty much busted on their high priced Free Agent acquisitions (re-siging Bowe, Maclin, Vance Walker, Dunta Robinson, Anthony Fasano, etc.) with the lone exception of Sean Smith, whom they let walk at the right time. If they do cut Smith next year, they'll just use that money to extend Ford and Peters and maybe bring back Logan, then rollover the rest into 2019, which is probably the best move considering all of the uncertainty surrounding the 2021 CBA. |

Here's my deal... the Chiefs didn't even attempt to ask Maclin to take a pay cut. Not at all. So they clearly wanted to move on, just as much as they wanted the cap room.
They want the young WRs to play, IMO. |

I like that the Chiefs are going more towards signing players that truly love the game instead of receiving big pay checks.

Their 'committed cap' for '18 wouldn't change any, but the amount of spending cap they have available to them goes up by any amount unspent in '17. And yeah, it changes cap calculations quite a bit and makes backloaded contracts completely painless because money saved up front can 'pay forward' on itself in later years. That's why the extension that Smith signed in '14 was often unfairly criticized. Smith was due to get $8 million in '14 but by extending and restructuring the first year, he lopped that year 1 figure down to $4.6 million and effectively created a $3.5 million 'surplus' that forward paid on his '15 number. So while his '15 cap figure was $15.6 million, the extension created an additional $3.5 million in carryover that effectively reduced that second year to just a tick over $12 million. Cap rollover has changed the way you have to look at cap situations and cap casualties a great deal. That's why I've been calling for Colquitt's scalp for 2 years now. You have to always be looking 2-3 years down the road because it all continues to accumulate.

They'll either pay you what you're owed or if they decide you're not worth that, they figure they've got somebody that can replace you. I don't remember the Chiefs ever seeking a 'paycut' during the Dorsey era. I know Carl was ALWAYS doing that but I can't recall this regime going that route at any point.
