At this point, I think the Chiefs need to consider keeping almost everyone outside of DJ/Tamba/Alex.

If Dee Ford's back isn't ****ed, I don't mind keeping him for 1 more year. Like Allen Bailey, these guys have proven that they can rush the passer.

I'd like to focus on adding young guys to the front 7 in this upcoming draft so that we have a ton of guys who are talented enough to make plays and build depth.

Yup. Same thing they did with Nelson and Conley for example.

Cutting the big 3 frees up the money they need (plus maybe Revis and or Colquitt) so they may need to keep the other guys and hope shit works out.

I dunno.

The ever increasing cap makes the contracts given to Berry and Houston are suddenly more more palatable. Frankly we are in great shape so long as Mahomes is the real deal and ready to take the helm.

I think its foolish to propose cutting this guy and that guy just to get a large available cap number. You keep guys like Parker IMO, because you can deal with his cap number. The same with Zombo, I think he's more valuabe as a backup than the 1.1 million in space he creates.

If you can trade a guy like Bailey great, but he's in the last year of his deal so again, the additional cap space is only good if its really needed. Its not like we are a team that is going to be overly active on high dollar free agents.

The easy moves are these three.

Trade Smith - $17 million
Cut DJ - $8 million
Cut Hali - $8 million

Then is becomes a question of which FA is out there that we absolutley must have?

The cap space we need to to retain players, not go buy them on the open market.

ROFL

If they're gonna move on from Peters when his rookie deal is over, I'd be interested in paying for Trumaine long term.

Yeah CB is one of the positions where there is actually some talent available.

Even then that’s only, what, half the time?

Idk, man. I’m just not keen on handing over a huge contract to a guy after one breakout season, especially since we’d likely be forcing him to change positions/scheme/responsibilities.

I thought we played the nickle a majority of the time. I could be wrong.

And I wasn't advocating for signing Lawrence.

I thought 610 said yesterday DJ would only save a million?

You might be. Based on percentages I’ve seen posted over time I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re in sub packages over 50% of the time.

Lawrence isn’t happening either way, I’d say. Stud pass rushers in their prime aren’t generally allowed to hit the market.

His cap hit in 2018 is $10,250,000 or $2,250,000 of dead space to cut him.

That would be beautiful. Would we be able to afford it?

We will have to throw some cake at NT (Logan FA) and a competent backup QB (AS cut and Bray FA). Also need to resign Colquit and KPL.

Ragland minimized the need for MLB but Zach Brown will be a FA. He is tearing it up. MLB are relatively inexpensive.

Eh, he’s going to be 28 in a few weeks.

Just need to trade Alex since he's the only problem as far as I know of and once he's gone its all good. We know this is the case since every thread reverts to this theme.

Everything else is good to go. No need for a better oline. No need for a running game. Just putting Patrick in for Alex gets rid of all of those problems.

The D will be better with Patrick in there too because Alex wont be screwing things up all the time.

Superbowl bound next year, who's in?
