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.

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.
Pioli indeed

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...

Launching Cassel will only generate around 7 mill I believe (current cap hit is under 10 right now). Jackson generates about 11 mill.

Still, we don't have to worry too much about the cap.

Good contracts for Charles, DJ, and Tamba once we get by next year.

Cut Cassel and Jackson, give their money to Bowe, Dorsey, Colquit and Albert.

Profit.

Then switch to the 4-3.

The crazy thing is that with the new CBA, we're going to be paying a #1 QB 1/3rd of what Cassel made...dramatically improving QB play at 1/3rd the price.

Now THAT's the process.

I completely forgot about the CBA. I was just thinking how ****ed we were going to be after signing the number one overall pick.

I'm not entirely familiar with the salary cap process in the NFL. I know there are a lot of stipulations on how it works. My understanding of it is rather rudimentary though. I'm sure Cassel is due to hit a high number...so cutting him could save us a lot of $$$ this upcoming season. At the very least, we could restructure him to that of someone playing third string, which suits his talent level far better than number one overall. Also Jackson is due for some ungodly amount like $15 million. Restructuring his contract or outright cutting him should be something to consider.

You can't help but wonder what exactly Scott 'Team-killer' 'Team-killer' 'Team-killer' Pioli was thinking by signing Cassel to a $63 million contract. And giving up a second for that steaming pile of suck? lol Good bye Scott 'Team-killer' 'Team-killer' 'Team-killer' Pioli!!!! Thats right up there with taking Tyson Jackson third overall... The Chiefs have a SIGNIFICANTLY brighter future now that he is gone.

Edit: I love the "Scott" "Pioli[/b]" filter. Cant even say his name without that filter automatically kicking in! lol

I agree, which why I think they could very well draft 2 QBs because they are so cheap

Tyson Ackson has a 17 mil cap number? What idiot did...........Oh wait. Never mind.

The worst part about that?

Pioli actually gave Jackson a contract extension last April that actually gave him MORE money over his original 57 million dollar rookie contract.

It's like Pioli was trying to fail.

Romeo
Cassel
Jackson

Unbelievable that Dungver and Philly have that much room. Philly has been spending big in free agency the last couple of years yet had $20 mil in cap space. Dungver gives Manning what? $25mil a year? And still has $12 mil left? Seems unlikely to me. But maybe I just don't get the cap
