Ty Law will be a Chief

[nolimitpk]

He will. Watch and see. Mark my word.

[4th and Long]

And when you're wrong, what do we get as compensation from you from this little prediction, which is dead wrong BTW?

[Wallcrawler]

I order you to lay the crackpipe down at your feet, and slowly back away.

[Kerberos]

unlike your username the cheifs have a limit.

It's called a salary cap.

Ain't gonna happen. :shake:

Besides, William Bartee would never give up his number 24 jersey.

Why aren't you banned already.

N00bs suck!!! Is there any way we could get them all together every morning at 7:00 AM so I could berate them as a group?

[alanm]

That was my prediction as well when FA started. So far he hasn't signed with anyone else. You just never know. :)

[beavis]

You will be banned. Watch and see. Mark my word.

The Chiefs already offered Law a contract once. He turned it down because basically $10 million was all he was going to get of the $42 million contract. The Chiefs have stayed in contact with Laws agent, and he's only had one contract offer since. We're just as much in the race to pick up law as anybody.

All it comes down to is how much money the tyeam is willing to defer to the future, and how much money Lamar is willing to hand over as a bonus.

Law has already turned down a 1 year contract worth 2.5 million...which is more than we have to offer him.

[BigRedChief]

He will. Watch and see. Mark my word.

Getting an injury settlement from Maz and Barber, along with resturcturing a contract or two will free up more than enough to get Law here now. I'm not saying it's definatly going to happen. But, I am saying that's it's VERY possible to fit him under the cap this year. Why people act as if this signing is impossible for the organization to achieve is beyond me.

[Red Dawg]

Not a chance in hell. We have not even signed our draft picks and he wants a ton of cash that we don't have.

An injury settlement with Barber will free up about 2.75 million, which barely scares the 2.5 he already turned down.

Who are you going to restructure? Not Holmes, Gonzo, or Shields. Maybe Green, but not likely considering this is the first year he is actually getting paid what he is worth. Easy to suggest, but can you actually name very many players that are both willing and deserving of restructure?

Obviously I don't know who the players are that would be willing to restructure their contracts. But, according to Lynn Stiles it IS possible to get him here depending on how much money the front office wants to defer. I'm fairly sure he has a clue about the financial side of the team. So if he says it's possible, then it's possible.....

I have a hard time believing he knows whether it's possible or not, considering no one knows what it will take to sign him yet.

[Chiefaholic]

He was on the radio doing an interview just the other day along with Gunther and Lamars son. He was asked whether it was possible to get Law under contract. And his response was yes, it's just a matter of how much money the Chiefs want to defer to the furure (basically putting us in cap hell a few years down the road).

[keg in kc]

Derrick Johnson's contract could conceivably influence it. He's got to fit within the confines of the rookie cap this year, but that doesn't influence his cap number any other season. Because of the CBA extension running out, his contract can't be spread out more than 5 years. But, without even considering the fact that he may be starting and was expected to be a top-10 pick, odds are his agents going to want the same kind of signing bonus 15th picks usually get. Which means he's going to cost more/year than a player would any other year. Which is a future ramification to keep in mind when we're working out a long term contract with a player like Law.

Add that to the major contracts already on the books...

You want to make it worse? I wonder how you'll feel in 3 years when following the Oakland Raiders blueprint gets us a 3-13 season....

[Chiefaholic]

Nobody wants to be in cap hell. But, we have several of our top players getting up in the years. The window is closing folks... Are you going to be satisifed going into the season with a glaring weakness? Or would you rather take the hit in a few years and have a legit shot at the Superbowl? The question doesn't seem all that hard to me.

The question doesn't seem all that hard to me.I guess thats where we differ in opinion. I don't see the loss of Warfield for a few games as a "glaring weakness" worthy of doing a naked cannonball into cap hell.

It's only going to be 4 games at the most. To me, you treat that like an injury. You don't f*ck your entire future over it.

If this team is going to be worth a sh*t in the play-offs, they're going to have to be able to win a few of these games. We won 7 games last year with McCleon as our #2 CB, and we didn't have Bell, Knight, Surtain, and Johnson. My feeling is this team will be better whether we have Warfield or not. I'm not ready to cut off my head to cure my headache.
