LNBS-Looking at the 2018 Salary Cap

[RunKC]

Holy shit what a mess. Here are the top 25 paid players, basically everyone with a cap hit of $1 million plus:



Couple of things stand out here:

-Tamba is gone.
-No way in hell is DJ playing for $10.25 million.
-Dee Ford has no dead money unless his back is ****ed.
-No way should Allen Bailey play for an $8 million cap hit.
-Ron Parker’s value deal is over. $7 million cap hit is way too high for him.
-Revis will be decided in March. Doubt he’s back.
-Dirty Dan is $4.8 million to our cap. Holy shit.

There should be some cuts/restructures coming. I think we might see a lot of new faces on defense next year.

True but that will shrivel up pretty quickly because they have a BUNCH of young studs playing for cheap right now. Especially if they sign a QB for big money.

I think Smith is the man for the job there but we'll see. The Chiefs shouldn't give them Alex unless they pony up the best trade deal by far.

The Chiefs are last in the NFL in projected cap space in 2018. We are a projected $7 million in the red.

Thanks Dorsey

As many have pointed out maybe that is why Sutton is still employed here. Reid feels Dorsey screwed over the coaching stuff with lack of depth and undeserving contracts.

I really could care less what our projected cap space is. We have a ton of money we can move around without taking dead cap. The Chiefs are in fine cap space in 2018, and they'll be in terrific cap space by 2019. Especially if they trade Alex Smith.

the game is really being able to get out of contracts if need be. Chiefs are in a good shape. Situation is only going to get better

Yeah, that's one thing Dorsey actually did a pretty decent job of. Of course a Houston or a Berry will have a contract that's impossible to get out of, because you can't keep them any other way. But he had a ton of contracts like Parker, Bailey, etc... that look big $, but they're easy to get out of. The complete duff is on LDT and arguably Fisher. I don't know why they gave so much $ in those contracts that are virtually guaranteed. We can't get out of those for several years.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Idk man. LDT is one of the league's better guards right now, especially as a pass blocker.

$70+ million in Dead Money during Dorsey’s tenure is not a “decent job”, you ****ing idiot.

And LDT is one of the league’s better interior lineman who’s going nowhere.

[RealSNR]

Just getting rid of an expensive contract because it's a big contract is idiotic.

LDT's deal was perhaps premature, but he's earned it and will continue to earn it.

You need good players to go deep in the playoffs, and just because you're not underpaying them doesn't make them bad investments

I didn't say $70+ million was a decent job. Dorsey generally structured long-term contracts that could be exited in 2-3 years without much dead cap. He racked up dead cap because he impulsively cut too many players a year too soon or signed too many guys who could never make it 2-3 years. And LDT is fine as a Guard, but he's overpaid.

Qb's in general are way overhyped with all the emphasis on passing.

They need to rebalance things.

[O.city]

With the chiefs starting a new qb and having a young offense basically set, it’s not likely they’re a contender next year unless things go really well.

That being the case they need to get the financial house in order so I’d look to potentially get rid of any older vet that isn’t gonna be here in a year or two anyway
