Has anyone seen him? His friends and family are worried.

What happened to our impact LB? The sack machine? The difference maker?

Thats True they are deep in the Rb position. I would just try to make Romo beat me. Chances are he will but take away Witten and see what happens. maybe.

What do you mean they have a ton of money to work with? The entire NFL works on the same salary cap.

O.city · 09-21-2009, 10:43 PM

yeah with that Ny money. You just have to be smart too. which i dunno about previous chiefs regimes. hopefully we will look back on this last two years of drafts in a few years and have a foundation.

They have luxury box cash teams like the Chiefs don't have because of their market, the Giants turn a ton more money than the Chiefs do so they can give bigger bonuses to work the cap.

They may have the same Salary Cap but every team doesn't have the same amount of cash on hand via luxury suites, etc. which turns into signing bonus money.

Do you think it's a coincidence that the Chiefs are below the salary floor?

Is it also a coincidence that the Hunts wanted $250 million in stadium upgrades, while throwing in another $75 million himself?

The Giants should get credit they haven't gone Redskins with their money basically their entire core has been drafted by them but they have the money to keep all those guys.

O.city · 09-21-2009, 10:46 PM

Yeah but don't we actually have some money to throw around right now?

Yeah, I do. I don't think it has to do with Kansas City. I think it has to do with knowing where this team is at and spending "wisely." I don't think Hunt and Haley are going to just go throw a bunch of money at guys when our core clearly isn't ready to compete for a Super Bowl. As that changes through the draft hopefully, I think you'll see us spending more money.

Of course this all becomes moot if something isn't done with the CBA.

According to the cap yea but the Chiefs don't throw around a ton of big signing bonuses every year and after the deals they gave Tyson Jackson and Cassel that was probably it on the bonus front this year.

Unlike the Hunts and Dan Snyder, the Mara's a great football family in the same league as the Rooney's.

It's no wonder why both franchises have so many championships.

O.city · 09-21-2009, 10:47 PM

yeah Daniel Snyder= not so smart

I'd say Jerry Jones could be approaching that with a few more crazy signings.

The money I referred to is about signing bonuses, the Giants turn more money than the Chiefs so they can drop huge bonuses every year if they choose and still make money.

It's no coincidence the Chiefs usually sign guys every other year...they don't turn the same kinda cash the Giants do.

O.city · 09-21-2009, 10:48 PM

I think the Hunts have been pretty good for the NFL but no where near the two you mentioned.

Bullshit.

The Chiefs stadium DOES NOT provide the same or even close to the same amount of income that's afforded to teams like the Giants, Jets, Cowboys, etc.

They just don't have the same cash.

Why do you think people like Jerry Jones wants the CBA to change? He wants LESS of his money to go to teams like the Chiefs and has said so recently in print.

O.city · 09-21-2009, 10:49 PM

Who do you see the Chiefs target next year?
