Wow. That's a LOT of money. I know he's been stepping it up, but he's going to have to have an incredible year next year to earn a similar contract. Restructuring FTW.

So that's the reason we won't be spending much on free agents.

Terrific "article" on Tyson Jackson. I'm sick of the know-nothing fans and KC media who still thinks Jackson was underachieving this year. Yeah it sucks that we spent the #3 overall on a 5-tech. But in 2011 he did his job, and he did very well.

If we had drafted Rodgers instead of DJ, T-Jax would be dancing in a State Farm commercial.

No, it doesn't hit a crossroads. They'll restructure that. You don't put that kind of roster bonus jump in your contract and expect to actually pay it. The Chiefs will probably decide to extend him and convert that into a roster bonus.

Jackson knows he has no leverage. It's not like he can walk into the open market and get paid a salary near that close. If Jackson refuses to relent, the Chiefs can just cut him.

I actually expect them to put Dorsey on the market and see what we can get for him in the way of 2013 draft picks. Especially with Gilberry and Bailey waiting in the wings.

Which is pretty much exactly what Pioli said when he drafted Jackson and compared him to Russel Maryland (multiple SBs coming of course).

3-4 DEs are suppose to make tackles in the run game, period. Too many folks get lost seeing a hybrid 3-4 ( like Wade Phillips ran in Dallas ) and except to see sacks like a 4-3 DT.

Per NFL.com, among all defensive linemen:

7. Glenn Dorsey @ 62 tackles
15. Tyson Jackson @ 55 tackles

Speaks for itself. Its not flashy but its exactly what they are asked to do, and they do it really, really well.

Just an FYI, there was a thing on NFL Network the other day that specifically credited Pro Football Focus for their player evaluations. Guess they've arrived.
