What's sucks is Houston's injury and the total money you've got there.
With him out and having to pay Kruger, you've got a big chunk in one spot pretty quick. |

When you cut Davis and keep Reaves, Reaves now moves into the 'top 51'. Cutting Davis saves you $700K but Reaves costs the veteran minimum and will count against the cap now at $500Kish. So the net gain is $200K. And it's like that with Flemming, Cooper, etc... You still have to fill a roster and when you're looking at cutting guys that are barely making above the minimum anyway AND carry dead money with them, you're mostly moving laterally when you try to make space by cutting them. As for Colquitt - probably too late. If the Chiefs wanted to mess with his money, they needed to bring in camp competition. He holds the cards now. The only way they'd convince him to take a pay cut is if they agree to lock him in on his money for next year and they shouldn't be doing that either. It's time to move on from the $4 million punter (it's past time, in fact, but the Chiefs are stuck here, IMO).

They don't need Zombo and Moses. And while I'd generally favor keeping Zombo due to his ability to play inside, we're probably going to keep 5 ILB. Sure, Zombo's a good special teamer, but so are lots of guys if given an opportunity there.
Zombo's looked pretty rough this year and Moses appears to have outplayed him. It's probably about time to move on from Frank.

Also, I agree 100% with Pest. Colquitt needs to take a pay cut.

They should've !@#$ing cut him. I've been saying that for awhile now. They probably should've cut him last season. But they have zero leverage. They're not going to cut their punter when they haven't even had a body in camp to push him. Not with the value that Reid and Dorsey put on special teams. Colquitt knows they aren't going to cut him if he doesn't agree to a cut so the only thing he'd agree to is a re-structure. Which would only serve to prolong the problem of our overpaid punter. Colquitt's ROI has been out of whack for at least a season and it's time to move on, but the Chiefs haven't given themselves a viable alternative.

Yeah, but the extension has virtually no guaranteed money in it so cutting him and Moses makes the roster instead, you're looking at a savings of about $400.

Mauga-$3 million
Colquitt-$4 million Restructure Alex and save $4 million That's $11 million next year with those moves. I would also look to extend Howard. The guy didn't play much early in his career so he's got a lot of miles left on him and he's in his prime. Extending him 2 years to 2019 would be a good move IMO. The guy would be turning 31 in late December of 2019. 2012-22 snaps 2013-48 snaps 2014-436 snaps 2015-752 snaps Jaye Howard has a lot left. He could be good until he's 31 IMO. Last year was the first time he was a full time starter.

I'm hesitant to move on from Mauga yet.

No, cutting Mauga doesn't save you $3 million. It saves you $2 million plus the cost of his replacement on the roster so more like $1.5 million. Kruger doesn't replace Mauga; he's an ILB. Somebody is going to take that roster spot at ILB and that person will cost at least the minimum. And Colquitt's not going anywhere. He just isn't. They aren't going to go with a street FA at punter and for the reasons already stated, he's not just going to agree to a haircut. As for Howard, if he wanted to sign away 2-3 more years, he'd have done so. We just signed him to the 2 year deal and the reason he took only 2 years was to ensure he hit the market for another big pay day. If he wanted to sign a 4 year deal or if the Chiefs wanted to give him one for whatever he'd be willing to sign for now, it would've been done in free agency.
