After 10 years here I'm still amazed at how ****ing stupid some of these "wasted season" and "Dorsey is terrible" people are.

say another injury situation occurs like bridgewater last year. if they come at us with anything like a 2nd or if we're lucky enough they may be desperate enough for a 1st then do it. let bray and mahomes sling it in preseason and let's just get this kids on the job training. it'll be aggravating and frustrating, but i'd be willing to stomach it. but if nothing of the sort transpires in TC then let's work these guys in on offense (mahomes excluded) and prep for the transition next year. |

And seriously dude stop with this rebuilding shit. Dorsey has been building the team up for a young QB for years. The entire OL is built and showing improvement as seen with Alex's low pressure score last season. 4/5 OL spots are locked down and Morse will probably be extended. Hill and Kelce are all pro's in the receiving game and the Chiefs just got their future RB to go with a solid one already. The offense will have experience, talent and chemistry in 2018 which is what helped Dak Prescott succeed in Dallas. |

In particular, earmarking Kareem Hunt as a draft success already is a choice bit of wishful thinking. And then there's the WR corps. A lot of ifs. But they are headed in the right direction. |

Remember the historically awful Chiefs WR depth chart in 2014? The group without a TD reception for the entire season? Dorsey, in his own words admitted after that season that he made a mistake the previous offseason by not being more aggressive in addressing the WR position. Hopefully history doesn't repeat itself. |

He's a better route runner than Conley and it's not even particularly close. I think Hill can be a very good WR as well. If he showed up with a strong knowledge of the playbook, that alone may have been enough for the Chiefs to move on from Maclin. If they want to see what he can do in the Z, they can't do it with Maclin on the roster. It is almost certainly as simple as talent development for their next 'window'. They could've tried to force this one open a bit longer but they made the tough (though likely smart) decision to rip off the band-aid and make the move now. It's going to sting in the short term but there are significant long-term benefits to be had here.

Hate to see Maclin go,really liked his leadership and ability but it happens and the $ savings make it worth it

Next offseason is going to be very busy for Dorsey.
Bennie Logan will likely be targeted for an extension unless he gets injured or flames out. Now look at all of Dorsey's draft picks that are in their last year. Dee Ford, Mitch Morse, Chris Conley, Steven Nelson and Cairo Santos (UDRFA but still dorsey pick up). Also consider Peters new deal or 5th year option. 2018 is going to be the year that we completely move forward from the old Pioli/Vermeil era. Bailey-4 Alex-13.4 Hali-5.5 Reid-2.42 Harris-1.8 DJ-5.75 Colquitt-let walk in FA We currently have $11.5 million, but after rookie deals that will be $7 million of potential rollover. With those cuts that adds up to $40 million in cap space plus the cap increase, so $50 million to sign these guys. |

The guy has a $10.5 million cap hit next year and the Chiefs can save $8 million of it by cutting him. There's no way they're paying a 35 yr old ILB $8 million more than they have to next season. He gone.

You also didn't want Mahomes and didn't think he was a 1st round QB but you flipped pretty ****ing quickly once he was drafted.
