Chiefs Reworking deals? - Page 2

**jjchieffan** · 02-15-2014, 10:29 AM

So if Chase Daniels contract is way too big for a backup, could someone please provide numbers that would be acceptable? Starting QB's are getting as much as #20M per year, but the average has got to be at least $10M. Chase's contract is $10M over 3 years. That seems about right to me. I believe Casshole got more to go to Minnesota, and Orton got way more to go to Dallas. Excluding guys who are on rookie contracts, what is the average backup getting in the NFL?

Capable backup QBs are very important.

Chase's contract is one of the few deals on this team that makes sense.

What if the drop off Daniel to bra is only 10% as a player would you take that money for a playmaker opposite Bowe making both bday and smiths job easier?

**jjchieffan** · 02-15-2014, 11:23 AM

That's a big what if. But let's play. If the dropoff is only 10%, then sure. It's a smart move. But what if Bray is our next Croyle? Do you want to lose every game he starts to save $1.4M in cap space?

It may not be that big of an if. The kid has all the physical talent. And came from from some horrible coaching.

I guess it depends on how you see it. To me #2 is your future #1 not your forever #2.

I have no problem with Bray as the backup......as long as he has shown that he can succeed in the role. But until he does, I say Daniel needs to stay.

Daniel is a bargain.

Direckshun · 02-15-2014, 12:50 PM

Well, Bray would have to actually prove it, for one.

This is hilarious. It's way worse than fantasy football. In fantasy football, you manage players you've pseudo-drafted to start each week to track their statistics and convert their actual productivity to a points system for your respective league.

For this? You have silly software working with unknown numbers dealing with phantom agents to sign pipe dream contracts. It's hysterical. I'm going to laugh all day Sunday.

I think I remember one of the announcers saying in a game, that Chase was the highest paid backup quarterback in the nfl. not sure If I had one too many brews and misheard. but if it's true, I definitely don't think he's the second best backup QB in the league, and shouldn't be paid as such.

Orton's number is 4,377,500 for next year. Daniel is a functional backup don't get all the hate and I am not even a Missouri fan.

**jjchieffan** · 02-16-2014, 06:53 PM

I don't get it either. I asked the question previously. What salaries are other backup quarterbacks in the NFL not on rookie contracts getting paid? Your answer on Orton is the only answer I got, and it supports my view. I have yet to see anyone provide an answer that shows that he is overpaid.

Chase Daniel, prior to the final regular season game this past season, had taken only 3 snaps more than I have in regular season games.

He was an undrafted free agent whose only NFL game experience was presseason games.

That is why he is overpaid.

He's only overpaid until Alex Smith goes down with injury. All backups are overpaid because they are basically just insurance.

No, he's overpaid.

There are no 'untils'.

You earn your second contract based on your performance during your first contract.

He did jack.
