It's not like we resigned Terrell Pryor.

Reid and Dorsey know what there doing. That's why they get paid the big bucks

You need a better imagination.

When your 'best case scenario' for a 6'6'' quarterback with a cannon of an arm is that we flip him for a pick, then you've really been beaten into submission by decades of Chiefs fandome.

Where did the KC Wolf touch you, RKC?

Can someone post that LaCanfora tweet from TC where he said something about really liking Bray. I can't do it from my phone. Anyone know what tweet I'm talking about? I think it mentioned the Chiefs being a team to watch for in trading QB....

[Red Dawg]

Tyler Brays arm strength is double Jeff George's and Elway's put together. He could throw one of Tom Brady's deflated footballs through a mountain.

You just don't let guys like that go.

Time for these guys to start working on Jaye Howards contract now instead of letting him tear shit up at NT and DE for us this season.

Jaye Howard is under contract through the 2016 season. He has two years left.

For what the Chiefs could or should reasonably offer him at this point in his career, that makes no sense for Howard to accept that kind of deal or extension. He himself knows that he's better off at least waiting until later in the season when he's further shown the large strides he's made as a player and the Chiefs raise that contract number significantly. And even if the Chiefs would offer him that amount in the extension, not all players are Allen Bailey who will take security over the potential for ultra big bucks. And honestly, why would he? When Poe comes back, he's going to be on the field a bunch, but he probably won't be starting.

The Chiefs have time to either plan for his replacement or wait and see what his height is. It's highly unlikely they've got a JJ Watt on their hands, so I don't see them missing out on landing a great deal for an incredible player.

Daniel will likely be gone next season. I'm not sure what the drama is about concerning Bray...He'll have a few years in Reid's system. Makes sense to keep him around and see where he's at. KC will need 3 QBs....they've been able to develop him without taking a roster spot.

If he sucks...so what. This seems more like a contingency plan than anything.

Funniest line I've read on here in some time. .

Who the **** wrote this for you?

i see this as one of two ways - 1) they still believe he has solid potential, combined with chase daniel contract expiring, we are looking at murray and bray to compete for 2/3 spots next year, not a bad thing there, or 2) they sense somebody is sniffing around on bray, and don't want to release him. this locks him up even just short term at a minimum, so if somebody truly wants him to develop on their own, they gotta throw us a bone.

of course there is reason ... IF .... Bray sucks there is a reason.

Apparently he doesn't, which is the point being made around here.

A team doesn't extend an injured guy
A team doesn't extend a guy 4th on the depth chart
A team doesn't extend a guy who hasn't done a single ****ing thing on an NFL field


Unless the team really thinks there is something to the player.

Which is a good thing.

Everyone is just not used to good things about QB's in the Chief Kingdom.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

It's funny watching you guys laugh at these signings over and over and then say how smart if was 2 years later. It's happened before and it'll continue to happen is my guess. This front office has proven it knows what it's doing. Hard to believe out of 1 arrowhead drive, but here we are.

According to overthecap and sportrac he isn't under contract in 2016. I totally get the rest of what you're saying though. It does take 2 to tango. But he has been a complete animal against the run and he can play both nose and end and that is very valuable. I don't see what it would hurt to at least start neegotiating.

Howard was drafted in 2012, making 2015 his final contract year (4 years).

He'll be a free agent unless the Chiefs extend or re-sign him.

Personally, I think it needs to get done. Bailey, Poe & Howard for the next four years would be awesome.

Spotrac also has him at UFA after this season.

I don't know why that wouldn't be the case. He was a waiver claim, yes? So they'd get him with his entry level deal. As a 4th round pick in 2012, 2015 would seem to be his last year under that contract.

They have some dry powder if they want to keep him but they need to do it sooner rather than later, IMO. The closer he gets to FA, the more likely he is to want to test it. Every game he plays healthy will be one more hurdle he clears and if he plays well at all, the price will only go up.

Like SNR said, there's probably not a deal that makes sense for both sides here. If I'm him, I'd want a fair amount to give up free agency. And if I'm the Chiefs, I've not seen enough to give him that.

It's probably best to just let him play his ass off in his FA season and then see what the market holds. I just don't see a good point of intersection for the two parties here.

Whose leg is Bray humping? I wish I could get someone to hire me to sit on my ass for 1/2 a mill a year. Hell I'd take half that

I'd offer him the same exact deal as Bailey: 5 years, $25 million.
