DJ and Sherman take a pay cut
@FieldYates: Source: Chiefs LB Derrick Johnson has taken a pay cut for 2017. He got a $1M signing bonus & $1M base salary, creating ~$4.25M in cap space.
http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=2...130853782707-4 The full story on LB Derrick Johnson & FB Anthony Sherman's reworked contracts: The Chiefs - who were tight to the salary cap - have agreed to a major pay cut with linebacker Derrick Johnson, per league source. Johnson, who tore his Achilles last year, was due a base salary $4.75M for 2017 and up to $1M in per game roster bonuses. Under his new terms, he signed a deal with a $1M signing bonus and a $1M fully guaranteed base salary. It creates about $4.25M in cap space for the Chiefs and keeps a key leader around. The 2018 portion of his contract remains unchanged, other than the $500k proration of the new signing bonus. The Chiefs also negotiated a pay cut with FB Anthony Sherman, whose base salary was dropped from $1.55M to $1.1M (fully guaranteed). He had per-game roster bonuses of $12,500 that were dropped to $6,250, which created a total of $550,000 in cap space for Kansas City. These moves likely helped facilitate the recent signing of DT Bennie Logan. [http://a]Field Yates, ESPN Insider |

DJ has always been a team player. Old or not I'm going to enjoy his last year or two as a Chief.

Excellent, we need all the help we can get with the cap.
I think DJ knew he likely didn't have a choice in the matter - restructure or be cut. It's the crappy but necessary business side of football. |

Yeah, he's got zero ****ing reason to take a paycut. He knows the Chiefs aren't going to cut him and take on all of that dead money.

Tamba sent this tweet out last night:
"NO MORE FAVORS!!!!#PEOPLEAREUNGRATEFUL" - @TambaHali91 Sounds to me like they wanted a pay cut from him but he's done doing that... he also had retweeted a post from a guy who said something about him not needing to take any more pay cuts in his career about a week ago. |

Tamba is a straight up class act. I hate to say it, but its time for Dorsey to draft someone that can come in and TAKE the ROLB position and make Dee Ford a situational guy while seeing how a true professional goes about his day to day stuff like Hali does. Tamba should be playing 20% of the snaps till playoff time. Maybe less. He absolutely should take a paycut if they ask. Do like DJ did so they can add another guy to come in and help. |
