Moss is familiar with Cassel, is supposedly in great shape, will be motivated to revive his career next season and will probably be had for a managable contract.

Rookie WR's rarely make an impact, so let Baldwin learn under Moss and Bowe his rookie year.

Yeah, Moss is familiar with Cassel.

So familiar even, that he quit on routes because he knew Cassel couldn't get him the ball.

Yeah, ol' Randy Moss.
Exactly the kind of influence I want on a young receiver.

This shit is gonna be like christmas to us Chiefs fans.

I think the timing is good, too.

We won't be losing any of our young talent any time soon and we should have enough to fill the positions we still have needs at with quality veterans.

Should be interesting.

He damn near trips over his own feet when he comes out of his stance he's thinking so much.

The primary reason, though, that Albert was seen as a potential LT was the fact that he does have naturally quick feet and the strength of his game at the guard position was his ability to work out in space.

Return him to guard, and his natural ability should return.

Kinda how I saw it.

deal knock that number down to like 8 million this year.

not really.

The numbers posted earlier about our bottom line last year were including Hali at his base salary from the last year of his rookie deal.

I expect them to front load his contract because he plays for "honor" and the risk of him getting paid and having a performance dropoff is very minimal.

Yeah, I thought about adding "Imagine Moss' surprise when the ball did actually get there".

They should, and often.

LMAO Yeah, let's just bench Baldwin for Randy Moss.

I was thinking the Glazers had cash flow problems. Having to fork out 59 million ain't going to help

Chiefs Will Need To 'Spend Very Big' To Reach Salary Cap Minimum
 
This is the latest read on the subject:

http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2011/7...efs-salary-cap
Now that the NFL is close to re-opening its doors it's time to start focusing on training camp, free agency and how much money the Kansas City Chiefs have to spare. The Chiefs were reportedly on the low end of the salary cap and will need to hit 90 percent of the salary cap minimum by the end of the year, assuming the leaked numbers on the new salary cap are accurate.

An ESPN report pegged the Chiefs cap space at approximately $34 million (not counting the restricted free agent tenders they've handed out) and NFL Network's Jason La Canfora says the Chiefs, along with the Arizona Cardinals, Cincinnati Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will need to spend "very big" to hit the minimum.

You can tell money isn't as big of a deal in the NFL as other sports considering both the Chiefs and Bucs -- two of the four teams with the lowest reported salary cap numbers -- won 10 games last year. Even the Cardinals are considered a quarterback away from competing.

We've already explained the Chiefs can spend the necessary money in a number of ways. They'll sign their rookies and undrafted free agents, which will knock out some of the money. They'll also pick up some guys in free agency and likely extend a player or more during the season.

GM Scott Pioli has the Chiefs in a very healthy position with the salary cap so they will have a lot of options throughout the season.

This is a welcome trend. VERY welcome.

Next thing we see will be 'Chiefs sign own, have cap room for Draftees and couple of mid tier FA's'

followed by an adam teicher article listing the cap cost for the roster.

followed by weeks of people crying about how much cap space Cassel and Jackson are using.

Then we will just have MORE to spend next year. No point in front-loading a bunch of contracts if the floor is going to be there every year. We can lock up our own and sign a monster FA and still have room for a few supplements to our roster.

title suggests that Chiefs will have to spend big money IN Free Agency.

last paragraph shows that the chiefs can spend 'big' in ways that the fans won't even notice.

only if Pioli wants to sign a monster FA ... which i don't know that he does.

Okie_Apparition 07-20-2011 11:21 AM

I hope Pioli leaves plenty of cushin. You never know who may become available next year or if one of your own breaks out & deserves a payday
