Wow RT @NFLCharean: Carr's contract is expected to be bigger than the five-year, $50 million deal that Cortland Finnegan signed with Rams

Yeah, it'd be kinda hard for the Chiefs to justify that kinda salary.

Why?

We're a bajillion under the cap, Clark Hunt is extremely wealthy, and it's not like we're signing a bunch of other free agents.

What is Flowers making?

Peanuts for a top tier CB.

We've been conditioned to be cheap, too because of the team's ways-they've lowered the bar and expectations...and most fall right in line.

He was on his way back to KC when Dallas turned the money truck over.

I ****ing hate the Cowboys too.

I think it'd be dumb to pay that much to two CB's.

That's the wrong way to look at it (even though correct).

Was Carr worth $3-4 mil per year more than Routt?

Then you have the perfect mindset of a shitty NFL owner like Clark.

Don't spend money, embrace mediocrity, but keep raising ticket prices for the sheep.

[RINGLEADER]

And are we using that cap space to sign stud RT/RB/DT?

That depends.

If losing Carr means we sign Winston, Tolbert, Soliai (however you spell his ****ing name), and/or Flynn or someone else then no. He isn't. But if we don't upgrade with all that money left over then this was the dumbest shit ever.

Exactly. That's what I was saying earlier. If we don't add anybody worth a shit in FA, we've taken a step backwards and for no other reason than being cheap.

[O.city]

Carr got essentially the same deal Flowers got.


If we had gave him that, how much would we have tied up in the secondary?
