Chiefs | Could part ways with Matt Cassel after 2012

The Kansas City Chiefs could decide to part ways with QB Matt Cassel after this season and not suffer from a significant cap hit. The Chiefs have already paid Cassel $40.5 million over the first three years of a six-year deal and only have modest base salaries remaining. As a result, the team can make a move and still have plenty of money left over.

Good grief I hope this happens soon. No better way to shit on our party than for Reid to think he can "fix" Casshole.

It seems like closer to 3.9m, but that difference doesn't matter. But, since he costs 9,825,000 against our cap, cutting him only frees up around 6 mil. And between 11-14 million for Jackson.

So, we end up with $17-20 mill in savings from cutting them. Of course, we need a QB (or two) and a DE as well.

This is all elementary though, since our new signings are not likely to cost much against our cap anyway.

I'm talking about Cassel, not Tyson Jackson.

In 2013 Cassel is due 2,325,000 in bonuses, but $250,000 of that is a workout bonus.

In 2014 Cassel is due 2,125,000 in bonuses, but again $250,000 of that is a workout bonus.

As the starter, Cassel was largely ineffective in guiding the Chiefs to a 1-4 record. He committed 14 turnovers (nine interceptions and five fumbles) in his five starts while completing just 58.5% of his passes and only throwing for five touchdowns. The 2010 Pro Bowler’s $7.75 million 2013 salary is too much for a backup quarterback. Cassel, who has a $9.825 million 2013 salary cap number, would free up $5.825 million of cap space for the Chiefs if they released him.

The bottom line is that we are in a good position cap-wise, especially with Hali's salary (and cap hit) dropping 6 mill or so in 2014. Pioli left us with a couple good things. Low salaries on Charles, DJ, and Hali (besides next year).

We have a lot of positions to fill (and plenty of expensive fat to cut), but we are in very good shape currently. It would be hard to put us in cap trouble in the next two or three years.

Only good thing he was good for.

From what I've read on multiple sites, the June 1 rule is as it always was. I guess I was wrong. I thought that the date was sooner now. But anyway, for those of you asking, yes any cap hit can be spread out if we wait until June 1 to cut the dead weight.

**BossChief** · 01-06-2013, 07:54 PM

13 million in cap space.
14 million for cutting Jackson
7 million for cutting Cassel

That's 34 million worth of cap space to start with.

Now we get to the interesting part...we were 15-20 million under the cap in 2012 and that number can be rolled over.

That gives us around 50 million worth of cap space to work with if we max out everything and make the logical moves.

PLENTY to re-sign Bowe, Albert, Colquit and Dorsey as well as locking up guys like Houston, Moeaki and Asamoah...as well as going fishing for some big fish.

We are in a great spot capwise.

Yeah now it comes down to how much cash Hunt has left after the buyout of SP and RAC.

Pretty sure they don't count against the cap.
