Chiefs Chiefs forced to spend $20 million to meet new salary floor? - Page 16

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.

Every day.

I'm also a big fan of Micah Johnson who may well earn some quality playing time next year if he is fully recovered.

Sleeper linebacker for us.

Yep. Draft and develop. Fill a few complimentary holes in FA. Why not give the young, improving Belcher another year??? No, no, no trade for a guy rated higher now in Madden

Because, for all of your "David Harris was a beast without a NT" talk, Sione Pouha was better than anyone that we had at NT last year.

We need a NT more than we need david Harris.

In my free agent list I have aubrayo franklin and david harris as my top 2. I think our defense could be top 5.

Passing on a playmaker so you can draft someone with maybe a top. 25 pick isn't strategy.

A slot receiver is a HELL of a lot easier to find.

NT a first .. ya can't play the 3-4 without one ....

What part of we are going to have to give up a #1 draft pick to get David Harris is so difficult to understand?

Ahh, another Franklin lover. Maybe I'd take the 2009 version of Franklin because the 2010 version was shit.

He's a beneficiary of Patrick Willis being a freak of nature.

Watch the games sometime and stop forming your opinions on second hand information.

Why can't you explain why the 49ers wouldn't want to keep him whent hey have nothing else behind him?

aturnis · 07-16-2011, 08:29 PM

Who do you take?

Vontaze Burfict
Manti Te'o
Luke Kuechly
Dont'a Hightower
David Harris

And your source was your roomate. I watch just as many Niner games as you

.

I gave you answers you choose not to listen instead you come back with vague general responses.

"Franklin sucks"

"Willis is a beast"

"Why aren't the Niners re-signing him"

First of all the Niners aren't the model franchise organization.

Second of all 25% of the leagues players are going to be free agents. Do they suck too or is it just the guys you don't want that suck?

Third and I'll explain this again for you. They like Sopooga he's been there since 2003 they obviously think he can get the job done. Franklin is going to be asking alot they can get production from the one mentioned while re-signing other key guys because they do have a few others that need to be re-signed.

No, you haven't watched as many 49er games as I have.

I watched 12 of their games last year, which is about 11 more than I wanted to. I have 3 TV's set up in my basement where my brother watched the 49ers every single weekend at my place. Their run defense have nice stats, but they played 3 legit rushing teams all year.

Sop has been there a long time but has never played the nose full time. They are taking a chance on the guy being a fit instead of paying this earth moving force like you want to paint him as. Regardless of if they haven't been a model franchise or not, fat bodied NT's never hit the open market if they are dominant.

Franklin is a guy who plays for money. When he gets the big contract, he's just going to be a guy.

I won't cry if they sign him because it's not my money and they have a cap to meet, but those expecting him to put this defense over the top are going to be dissapointed for the 5 or so years he's under contract.

No, some of the free agents don't suck. Teams have various reasons for letting guys go. However, they franchised him last year, have no real replacement and NT is a sacred position for teams running a 3-4.

Ok you have me beat in the 49ers game watched department and I do apologize because watching that team was like watching those Herm ****ing Edwards teams. Dink and Dunk hand the ball off and wear out the star RB.

Like I said I would sign him but not for Wilfork money. I just don't see how signing the guy hurts us. I have faith in Romeo & Scott and you can't argue that Franklin is better than anything we have currently on the roster.
