Got us at 122m. So around 8m.

This should be enough, combined with a Berry extension, to get us Alex Smith extended and Schwartz brought back.

At this point, I'd consider it an upset to keep our current roster in tact and bringing back any of the following players: Albert, Asamoah, McCluster, Jackson, and Abdullah.

We'll have to build through the draft, and hope Kelce and Commings come back better than ever.

The good news, as I've said before, is that that would likely net us 5 compensatory picks in 2015, giving us 12 total picks in that draft.

I'm with you with all of it except Dex. I want him back. I think the dude brings something to the roster.

He appears to have hit that "Dante moment" when he finally has his groove returning.

In the passing game he's still an undersized HB trying to play WR...

True, but if used properly - and this year they started to do that, he got it done more times than not. Dude had 500+ receiving yards. I just think he affords the Chiefs a lot of options. IF he doesn't want to break the bank, there's no reason why the Chiefs shouldn't want to re-sign him and give him a nice raise in the process. I think he's a good, young ascending player who is a game-changer on special teams.

I'll never understand why anyone thinks McCluster is anything more than JAG.

He's had one good return where he did something other than run in open field created by the blocking.

Then, looking ahead, the Chiefs possibly cut Hali, Flowers, Sean Smith, and Avery in 2015.

That would open up about $25m by itself. That would allow us to extend Houston pretty easily.

That does mean that, as many of my mocks have suggested, that drafting a passrusher like Dee Ford in the 1st and a corner like E.J. Gaines or Pierre Desir might be necessary this year, to protect us from losing that much talent. We could be trotting out two brand new starters at corner.
