Chiefs cap room for 2013

[O.city]

Surely to god we wouldn't lock up Albert then draft a RT at 1?

[BossChief]

Will they use Winston's money to sign Albert to an extension and make some cap room?

Just seems pointless to tag Albert at LT if their plan is to draft an LT and play him at RT?? If you want a franchise LT at number 1, than let Albert go and have Winston stay at RT. It would be cheaper as well

The 3.5 Winston cap savings basically means cutting Cassel and trading for Smith carries no additional cap increase for the Chiefs.

They should have between 10-13 million million at the start of FA.

Any chance they made this move because they are about to pay Canty?

I think more of them going after a big name corner, like sean smith or someone who wants money.

If the 3.5 is legit, that would put us at 15 under if they cut Cassel and Andy.

Right?

If its not right, that leaves us at around 12 under.

Chiefs will have another 1m vs the cap I counted Jackson at 5.2m but his cap number is 4.2.


Tyson Jackon can make up to $5.2 million

Chiefs defensive lineman Tyson Jackson, the third overall pick in the 2009 draft, was due to earn a base salary of $14.72 million in 2013.

And he had no better chance than the rest of us to make that much money.

Jackson recently re-did his deal to stay in Kansas City. The initial reports of a new contract omitted the details.

Here they are, per a league source with knowledge of the contract.

Jackson is due to earn a base salary of $4.2 million. Of that amount, $4 million is fully guaranteed for skill, injury, and salary cap.

The one-year deal also includes a $500,000 workout bonus, and an incentive that will pay another $500,000 if he participates in at least 50 percent of the snaps on defense.

So he can make up to $5.2 million. Which is a lot less than $14.72 million. Still, most of the rest of us would take it.

Maybe with that we end up getting Albert longterm and increase that 15 number?

Look for most teams to back load the contracts this year. 2014 new TV deals cap goes up.

This is why it confused me that you were arguing against re-doing Tamba's deal and wanting to bite the bullet this year. If there is more room next year and after that wouldn't it be easier to push the money back?

I just don't wanna add years to his deal. Hali at 33 wont be any good.
