I had no intention on holding out...I just ran out of gas on the way to camp and my cell phone battery died. It was a long walk I tell ya.

Jamaal Charles and the #Chiefs have struck a deal, source says. He’s heading to camp now.

Chiefs are giving RB Jamaal Charles a two-year extension that makes him 2nd-highest paid back in league and ties him to KC for four seasons.

Jamaal likely will get 40 million over the 4 years if I had to guess. (He is between Shady's 9 and AP's 12), however with Smith I'd have to let him play this year out if he is asking for too much. If he earns the money, then okay, but otherwise no need to budge. Tag him if you have to. Houston should be next.

Makes you wonder who will get cut next year... Tamba, S. Smith, Fasano, Daniel, etc. days looking numbered. Would love to have Tamba just take a huge paycut.

BS, not when it comes to W's.

Yes Charles is far more elite than Alex, but if the alternative is Chase ****ing Daniels, we are ****ed.

Now assuming we can develop Bray or Murray, maybe you have something

OldSchool · 07-23-2014, 02:56 PM

Cool, at least they got one deal taken care of.

Dante84 · 07-23-2014, 02:57 PM

This explains the Smith/Houston hold up.

All that time we were worrying about those two, we didn't think about the fact that they might be working out a deal for Charles.

The table is set, and now they can take care of Houston. Alex's deal will get done next year, or he'll get franchised.

That would be cool. It's possible, but that's just asking a hell of a lot from any player, especially a RB.

That's basically 1,000 carries. If he averaged 250 carries over the next four years, that puts him at 2k at the end of the contract. And 2k is what Herm Edwards said last week is usually the plateau for running backs, FWIW.

It’s a 2-year extension for #Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles worth $18M in new money, source says. Extra $5M over the next 2 years. Top 5 RB money

Not bad at all really.

WhiteWhale · 07-23-2014, 02:58 PM

I kinda thought the 'don't give him more money crowd' was stupid for this reason right here. Happy to see Charles is signed through what will probably to the end of his effective career.

Of course Charles proves to be pretty unique. Many players would have held out for more. He could have really squeezed this team and forced their hand.

E) It sends a message to other players/agents/free agents... KC Cheaps don't ****ing exist. Chiefs take care of their own.

There is truth to this. I'm just looking out for the future.

I guess, THIS is exactly the reason that you let the Dexter McClusters, Tyson Jacksons, and Jon Asamoahs of the world walk- so you can pay guys like Charles and Houston.
