Chiefs forced to spend $20 million to meet new salary floor?
So it appears from most reports that the agreed upon 2011 salary cap will be $120 million with the salary floor constituting AT LEAST (and this could be increased) 90% of the salary cap (about $108 million)
Most reports had the Chiefs payroll last season near $90 million. This means that the Chiefs will be forced to spend about $20 million just to meet the salary floor. Clark's Chiefs will be FORCED to pursue an aggressive approach in free agency. |

The Bucs have nearly 50 million to spend. A shock to the owners system.

I thought I heard someone around here say Matt cassel needed a raise.

They can sign our own free agents and/or restructure deals to push money up front to raise our cap number this year. don't expect the chiefs to do any more in free agency then they have been. |
chiefs are at 83 bud not 90

Expect to see the Chiefs free agents to see front loaded deal like Cassel got.
|
We are finally building the team the right way and people are bitching about it. Geez spending money on free agents generally does not work. Lock our own guys up first.
|
It is a weak FA class, however there are a few really good FA's that can be had for decent money.

It's all too easy to front load contracts or rearrange things via accounting to get to where you need to be. Think about it, if it wasn't then EVERY team would be going crazy in FA to make the floor. That won't happen.

I expect the Chiefs to make 1 big signing.
As much as I'd hate it, Franklin will likely be pursued. I'm hoping they go after Tyson Clabo from Atlanta to be the RT. A line of Albert, Asamaoah, Hudson, Lilja and Clabo for the years to come would be awesome. |
That does sound like a damn decent line if you have confidence in Albert.
Clabo definitely my number 1. I don't necessarily want franklin, but I'd be thrilled with the signing. It means Pioli is trying to compete this year. |

If the 4 years players are allowed to walk un restricted, it should be one of the strongest classes in years. |
The free agents are licking their chops! They'll be loaning money to Tiger soon.
|
I dont' know the numbers but wouldn't the last year of the rookies contracts that we are going to resign be fairly close to what their cap # would be in thier first year of the new contract.
Just saying that if our # was 83 mil including our own players that we now need or want to resign then we actuallly have more than the $20 mil to sign players. |
Quote:
Weak? You have all those 4 year restricted free agents available now instead of the 6 year guys. It's going to be an enormous free agency pool. |
Quote:
With that line, JC will be ****ing raping. |
I'd be shocked to see Clabo. He wants to be the most expensive RT ever.
|
bring in J.J. Stokes
|
88 bitchin about the Chiefs spending money again...I'm shocked. Not drafting and developing our own players well got the team in the position it was. The team is finally on the right track. Lock up the studs we do have and make a couple of nice complimentary signings.

Breaston please
|
NFL payroll figures are like gallup poll results. It's all about how/who you ask the question & it can be bent to mean about anything you want it to
|
Quote:
Along with Steve Breaston or James Jones at WR. Maybe some help at MLB? Takeo Spikes? Barrett Ruud? Aubrayo Franklin at NT? |
Breaston and McClain and I'll be pretty happy. We're not signing Clabo so it's not even worth thinking about.
Takeo Spikes would be a nice stop gap, but I think I'd rather give Belcher another year to see if he can take the next step. |
Quote:
|
I think it's pretty much a given that they are going to spend some money on a WR that can play slot...Steve Breaston, Steve Smith, Santana Moss come to mind.

The only blue chip free agents are corners. |
Is Ricky Watters available? We need somebody to share the load with Charles and Thomas Jones sucks now.
|
Quote:
I love the way you threw "Chiefs Could Use" in there....considering we only have two glaring holes....nice. |

Pioli would be trying not to compete if he doesn't sign a big name? |

Quote:
The definition of "big name." No one is expecting Pioli to go out and sign a Albert Haynesworth type circa 2009. But there are a lot of guys out there that can help this team, that I don't consider Tier A FA's. Steve Breaston Ryan Harris Chris Hoke Michael Bush (potentially) Etc. To pass on guys like this in favor of slugs like Urban, Long, Engram, Toomer, etc would be pretty ****ing stupid considering this roster still has a lot of the same holes it had 3 years ago. |

I'm not the fan of Stanton you are, but there's not much out there at QB. |

FTR, I agree. Not a fan of Franklin. IMO, we need a couple of Lilja-like signings. Tier B guys that are going to make an impact. Ignoring your gaping holes, or trying to fill them with trash isn't going to cut it if this team expects to improve. |
Mike Tolbert and Le'Ron McClain are two other backs that no one is talking about that'd would GREAT additions to this team.

Tolbert could grab his ankles & roll for more yards than Jones

Franklin isn't it. |
We good, cuz we good the non reading SOB named POWE
|
I read McClain wants to be a tailback and has slimmed down considerably.
|
How in the **** is Franklin a marginal player?
|
Quote:
He probably is marginal in the sense of value for the dollar. |
I would LOVE it if we made a trade for Solai from Miami...they were pushing 126 million last year and I doubt they can afford to give him a good contract and stay under this new cap number of 120 million.
Send em a second and change, if that's enough. Guy reminds me of a bigger Dan Saleamua. Do that and sign a starting caliber OT and I'm ready to roll. |
Quote:
The only addition is a guy that apparently can't read and hasn't had the luxury of getting coached up for the past 4 months. If the defense is going to take the next step, management has to address the NT position. |
Quote:
We got some holes needed to be filled the moto should be "Spend Baby Spend!" I'd love Clabo, Steve Smith or Breaston or Jones, Franklin, and let's flush the Javon Belcher turd with Barrett Ruud. |
Quote:
Edit: 5year 40 million 25 guaranteed is what Vince got. |
Anyone else think gm's are already getting deals ready with agents?
|
Quote:
... Belcher is gonna be the linebacker version of Brandon Carr. Better pump those brakes, billay. |

He got a fat one year deal last year and his play fell off a cliff. He's going to get paid, and stay lazy. No thanks. |

:spock: Belcher is not a "turd"
|
Quote:
He had one good year. I live with a 49ers fan and saw more of them than I cared to the last 3 years. He had one monster year two years ago. He was awful last year and was a rotational player before his big year. The 49ers who have a lot of money available, and no real backup are letting him walk because they know he's not worth it. |

Dan Snyders is one of them. |

Get the **** out of here. Keep reading the stat sheet and act like you have a freaking clue about the way he played last year. |

I'm saying that whoever gives it will regret it. |

The 49ers are flush with cash, are letting him walk and have nothing behind him. Care to explain that? |
