Chiefs cap room for 2013

[Gary]

With a cap hit of $9,875,000 in 2013 for our beloved Matt Cassel, gotta think the Walrus is sharpening his axe right now. Then he has Tyson Jackson's $17,245,000 cap hit to address.

We won't cut him until after the league season starts unless they want to eat it all. If they cut him later, they can spread the cap hit over 2 years.

I don't think this is right.

That's his salary for the 2013 season.

It is NOT guaranteed. His guaranteed money is GONE and already paid out. $28 million. He has already made like $40 million as a Chief.

We cut him tomorrow owe him nothing, no cap hit.

Plus, teams can no longer spread a cap hit over two seasons.

That ended in 2009, IIRC.

I'm gonna try and look it up, but I believe the change was that you could still spread it out over two years, you just had to wait until the beginning of the new league year instead of June 1 in order to give players more time to find another team. Again, I could be mistaken. I am looking it up now

From page 93 NFL Players Association NFL CBA – August 4, 2011

(1) For any player removed from the Team's roster, or whose Contract is
assigned to another Club via waivers or trade, on or before June 1 in any League Year
prior to the Final League Year, or at any time during the Final League Year, any unamortized
signing bonus amounts will be included in Team Salary for such League Year,
except that for each League Year preceding the Final League Year, each Club may designate
up to two Player Contracts that, if terminated on or prior to June 1 and if not renegotiated after the last regular season game of the prior League Year, shall be treated
(except to the extent prescribed by Section 6(d) (iv) below) as if terminated on June 2, i.e.,
the Salary Cap charge for each such contract will remain in the Club's Team Salary until
June 2, at which time its Paragraph 5 Salary and any unearned LTBE incentives will no
longer be counted and any unamortized signing bonus will be treated as set forth in
Subsection (2) below. If acceleration puts a Team over the Salary Cap, the Team will
have seven days to conform with the Salary Cap, but may not sign any players until there
is Room to do so under the Salary Cap.

His original contract was about $31 million guaranteed I believe.. so that makes sense that about $3 mill remains.

Actually, it appears he has only made about $24 million, per this site. This year is the crazy one though.

HOLY CRAP I thought Cassel had a much lower cap hit than that. HOLY SHIT on Jackson though.

Yeah, I think our cap room freed up is going to go up considerable. Not sure the exact numbers but it looks like launching Cassel will generate around $15 million in new cap space and Tyson Jackson will generate about $15 million as well. Neither player is worth another $.01 IMO and we can easily replace them with solid FA's with that $30 million in free cap space...
