Of course, the Chiefs DO have that cap room, unless the new GM decides to go on a shopping spree. As for LJ's tradability, the new team would assume LJ's base pay. From what I understand, LJ's base pay is pretty high and the new team might not be willing to accept that salary for a guy that could receive a years suspension for his next nightclub run-in. A team trading for LJ might demand to renegotiate the contract with LJ, before doing a deal.

Well, someone took a chance on Jared when he was one strike away...and if LJ wants out of KC as bad as he says he probably would re-do his contract then.
Question is: Jammal Charles an every down back? or do we then have to use another high draft pick on a franchise RB?
Thought: If we keep Tyler and keep running the spread Sproles would be perfect for that IMO....
