$7MM in cap room to go into the season vs a veteran above average CB?

If I had to take a guess, to free up more room to get Houston a new contract.

Oh great I was going to change my Larry Johnson jersey to become S.Smith

EDIT:
So the options are:

Cut Flowers: Save 7.5M this year AND 7.5M next year. No extra draft pick.

Trade Flowers: Save 3.5M this year AND save 11M next year.... AND get probably a 3rd or 4th round pick for 2015.

Is that right?

[Mr_Tomahawk]

I'd rather keep and overpaid CB than an overpaid backup QB.

Not completely sure but I don't think that the CHIEFS would get a comp pick for a player they cut.

Pretty funny how much shit this board gave me last year for suggesting Flowers was done

Like say... Andre Johnson...

This. And / or feature Flowers in the deal if possible... I KNOW that the Texans NEED a CB and the Chiefs NEED a WR...

Might be impossible because I don't know how the cap situation of both teams would be effected by trading payers who both have high cap numbers. I think the $$$$ get accelerated to the current year.

Correct. They would not.

you're dreaming

unless Reid forces something, i don't think Dorsey is going to do shit.

I get the sense that Dorsey is a meat and potatoes type GM who doesn't believe in making a splash.

#Chiefs star OLB Justin Houston skipped OTAs today. I’m told he wants a new contract. He has a year left on his rookie deal at $1.4M.

You got that right. I would not expect much from Kelce.
