Chiefs cap room for 2013

[Superturtle]

How much do we have ATM? I know it has been addressed recently in another post nut I can't seem to find it. Lets assume we cut Jackson and Cassel outright.

I'm guessing some players earned player incentive in 2012 that will count vs 2013 cap.

I'm proud to say I have no idea.

The cap is irrelevant.

It's all about guaranteed money, i.e., upfront bonuses.

Now THAT's the process.

I completely forgot about the CBA. I was just thinking how ****ed we were going to be after signing the number one overall pick.

I'm not entirely familiar with the salary cap process in the NFL. I know there are a lot of stipulations on how it works. My understanding of it is rather rudimentary though. I'm sure Cassel is due to hit a high number...so cutting him could save us a lot of $$$ this upcoming season. At the very least, we could restructure him to that of someone playing third string, which suits his talent level far better than number one overall. Also Jackson is due for some ungodly amount like $15 million. Restructuring his contract or outright cutting him should be something to consider.

You can't help but wonder what exactly Scott 'Team-killer' 'Team-killer' 'Team-killer' ***** was thinking by signing Cassel to a $63 million contract. And giving up a second for that steaming pile of suck? lol Good bye Scott 'Team-killer' 'Team-killer' 'Team-killer' *****!!!! Thats right up there with taking Tyson Jackson third overall... The Chiefs have a SIGNIFICANTLY brighter future now that he is gone.

Edit: I love the "Scott" "*****[/b]" filter. Cant even say his name without that filter automatically kicking in! lol

ChiefsGator already pointed out that we don’t save 17 million by cutting Jackson. Tyson has a $31 million guarantee, so we don’t save $17,245,000 by just cutting Jackson.

If Jackson fits into the new Chiefs defense, maybe they can renegotiate a new contract.

I am not saying you are incorrect or anything. But I would like a link to this.
If we have to pay Jackson that kind of money whether we cut him or not. He will stay and it is just another reason to hate *****.

Wilson8's information is incorrect.

Clark is so cheap

[ChiefGator]

"Jackson's 2013 base salary remains at $14.72 million, $3.22 million of which is guaranteed for injury and cap."

http://www.macsfootballblog.com/2012...-contract.html

So, we could save $14.72 million perhaps. I heard a figure of $11 million somewhere else though. Either way, we save a lot cutting him, so I'm sure it happens or he restructures again.

But, we aren't going to clear quite as much as some around here hope.

I don't think this is right.

That's his salary for the 2013 season.

It is NOT guaranteed. His guaranteed money is GONE and already paid out. $28 million. He has already made like $40 million as a Chief.

We cut him tomorrow owe him nothing, no cap hit.

[ChiefGator]

Question: Can we still spread the cap hit across two years? This upcoming year is now his last, since the 2014 year was cut off his contract with the restructure. If not, then we can cut him sooner, rather than later.

Chiefs | Could part ways with Matt Cassel after 2012

The Kansas City Chiefs could decide to part ways with QB Matt Cassel after this season and not suffer from a significant cap hit. The Chiefs have already paid Cassel $40.5 million over the first three years of a six-year deal and only have modest base salaries remaining. As a result, the team can make a move and still have plenty of money left over.

Jackson cut chiefs only on the hook for 3.2m
Cassel cut chiefs only on the hook for around 3.5m

Plus, teams can no longer spread a cap hit over two seasons.

That ended in 2009, IIRC.

His original contract was about $31 million guaranteed I believe.. so that makes sense that about $3 mill remains.

Actually, it appears he has only made about $24 million, per this site. This year is the crazy one though.

No. That ended before the uncapped year of 2010 and with the new CBA in 2011.
