Chiefs Chiefs forced to spend $20 million to meet new salary floor? - Page 22

FloridaMan88 · 07-15-2011, 07:54 AM

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.

Hali is about to be a rich man.

Chiefs can front load the contracts of their own free agents and make 35 million disappear into 'ink' in a heartbeat.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
