Fucking mid-range, overpaid, bull$3it......fuck this team...

[DJ's left nut]

Really?

Blech. I mean, he was slightly better than JMJ but the dude couldn't hold his gap to save his life. I hope that doesn't have much in the way of guarantees and we're left with an easy out after 2 years. I could probably tolerate him for 1 season alongside DJ (because DJ will cover some of his dipshittery) but we still need to be drafting an ILB with an eye on replacing him in short order.

2.67 mil/year.

If DJ is healthy, the Ted backer is pretty much the 12th most important person on this defense and I could honestly be convinced that the 4th rotational lineman is more important as well, making it the 13th most important spot on this D. Mauga can't really do that much damage either way.

So that kinda makes you question why we gave him actual money to come back.

The structure is what matters. I'd be shocked if this isn't something that could turn into a 2yr/$3 million commitment with marginal dead money pretty easily.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Too much for a turd

[Rausch]

Too much for a turd

We discussed this in a thread earlier.

What we do is sign turds away above value and ignore high talent/priced FA's...

I'm thinking he'll be gone after this year if we can get an ILB in the draft that's worth a damn.

It's worked out far better than what we've done...

[Just Passin' By]

They reached the Super Bowl two years ago, so...



Yes, it's been working out for Denver.

I guess so, if winning the division every year and a trip to the Super Bowl count as "worked out".

Oh no

[DJ's left nut]

Yeah, I think the contract they gave Mays is pretty instructive. Really, DeVito's kindof is as well.

I'm thinking we see something like a $2.6 million signing bonus with a base salary of about $700K in 15, maybe $2.1 million in year 16 and $2.6 million in year three. If he doesn't work out, you can walk away next year and end up saving about 500K in cap space. You overpaid in pure cash but that's Clark's money, not mine. It wouldn't have much impact on the cap either way.

I just think his style is an odd fit. He's a drag tackler and not terribly hard-nosed. If he's the guy we're playing alongside DJ then we're definitely moving away from that 'thumper' mold of strongside ILBs that I'm certainly more used to.

[the Talking Can]

i mean it's probably ver low guaranteed cash...still 'looks' like a big number for an ass sucker

I mean Sutton's in the dime so often it doesn't even matter who's next to DJ. I'm just worried we're putting too much stock into him atm when we really need to be looking to move on from DJ via the draft.

he doesn't play that fast though

Over paying an average QB

[O.city]

How old is he?

[NJChiefsFan]

I didn't expect the depth to be fixed by the beginning of last year so I was never really pissed at Mauga's mistakes. He is what you get when a team has no depth and loses a guy like DJ. I would be fine with him on the team for backup-money. Even back-loaded, that is quite the deal for a guy that we could replace easily enough. The only time I lost it was when he completely shit the bed on his gap coverage during the huge TD run in Oakland that sealed the Chiefs fate for the season.

[Hammock Parties]

KEY PART OF OUR CHAMPIONSHIP DEFENSE! DORSEY RULES!

#ChiefsFreeAgencySuperBowl

[Meatloaf]

Well, I'm probably a minority of 1, but I don't think this is a bad signing. I believe the guy started pretty much every game for us, and did a good enough job that the defense was pretty darned good. I know he had a ton of missed tackles, but gents, this is a team game and with him at one ILB position, his team had a rather stout defense.

So, there's at least one person on this board that isn't horrified with this signing.

[RealSNR]

It's official.

Dorsey can't fucking negotiate. He's an awful GM.

He needs to hire a co-GM who can do negotiations similar to how Denny Thum or whoever it was for Carl.

There is absolutely ZERO reason why Josh fucking Mauga, a guy who has NEVER been able to stay healthy before his one year in KC, and who is nothing more than glorified special teams depth, should be receiving THAT MUCH fucking money.

I've seen enough awful and stupid contracts out of Dorsey that now it's time to face the facts. He can't get people signed for what they should, he can't bargain with other teams, and when he does, unless the agent/player is nice, he's going to get fleeced.

[O.city]

We don't even know how much guaranteed money it's for uet.

Hell it could be like 3 mil guaranteed

[OnTheWarpath15]

Money aside, what the fuck was the rush?

You're scrambling to clear cap space and you're signing the Mayor of Scrubville?

Does anyone think teams were going to be lighting up Mauga's phone on Tuesday?

[Snapplez]

SNR, buddy, easy does it. Do you really think all of these signings and departures are just random one-at-a-time deals? Good heavens, give the front office some credit for at least a modicum of planning/strategizing on this stuff. They've known their players, contracts, cap room, etc for a long time, and I'd imagine that this was all pretty much planned.

Obviously, you don't agree with this particular signing, but why let this relatively minor deal put you over the top as per deciding that Dorsey is a crappy GM?

Pioli had pretty much ruined this franchise and this current regime has had to pretty much pick up the pieces and attempt to construct a competitive team. They've now been at it, what, 2+ years? Gotta give 'em more time than that, don't you???

Did they "pretty much plan" to be cutting nearly every player they signed over the last two years?

They weren't left crap. The best players on this team have been the best players on this team since Herm Edwards was here.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Mauga is a guy you sign in June for the league minimum.

Dorsey may be an average-ish talent evaluator, but that's irrelevant if he can't negotiate a contract or trade to save his life.

Every single FA deal he's made so far (or re-signing) looks like a massive overpay, save Charles.

Wrongo, Warpath. What's the most important position on the team? Who did Pioli leave them at that position? Yeah, they had a few decent players, but the team couldn't win for shit. The attitude of this franchise was abysmal thanks to Scooter. The current regime has had to overcome a lot. And, to my way of thinking, they've done pretty well.

As per best players being from the prior regime, we duh. You counting on a couple of drafts to change that? Ain't gonna happen. Free agent signings have been ok so far, and at least Dorsey's wise enough to know when something didn't work out. He gets bashed for resigning Mauga, but no "credit"for letting other guys like Walker, Mays, etc. go. Kinda can't have it both ways, can you?

[OnTheWarpath15]

FA signing have been OK so far?

He's cut almost all of them.

LMAO

[Meatloaf]

Like I said, he gets not credit for not keeping these guys, but gets nailed for signing Mauga to a relatively minor deal. PLUS, how do you know that our defensive coordinator didn't tell Dorsey that he really wanted Mauga on his team?

As per overpaying these guys, another way to look at it is that Dorsey is decisive. He ain't gonna beat around the bush hemming/hawing this and that. He signs the guy. If it works, great....if not, he's gone. To me, it's kind of refreshing compared to Peterson who ALWAYS tried to screw the guy.

[Deberg_1990]

11-12 the last 23 games of the Dorsey regime.

[RunKC]

Some posters here have no clue about contracts.

The 2013 FA's didn't get the bulk of the money of their contracts that were backloaded. And our dead money is only $11 million right now, $5 million of which came from Pioli contracts to Flowers and Succop.

Dorsey has done a solid job clearing space so far, but he needs to get rid of DeVito and Chase's number by cut or restructure (preferably cut).

[RunKC]

11-12 the last 23 games of the Dorsey regime.

The very definition of pick and choose.

Jason, I have no idea if he asked to have him on the team or not. Just offering that as an option as per everyone bagging on Dorsey....when perhaps they should be bagging on someone else. But, Dorsey's a big target, so he's obviously the problem. Seems like many might be jumping to conclusions. WHICH, is kinda what makes this board fun. Every night I read this stuff and come away thinking, Meatloaf, you're a really bright fellow. This place is great for my ego. :D

[RealSNR]

Mauga was the best ILB not named Derrick Johnson this franchise has had since Jovan Belcher.

Therefore... massive overpay! W00t!

[kcxiv]

He played ok for us. We got other needs, but they adressed this one DJ is back. We just need some damned Oline help in the worst fuckign away, especially when we got Smith under center.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

It's worked out far better than what we've done...

yea and then we spend a season eating most of the rest of it as dead money like we are currently doing with Mays/Walker.

Fast enough to run himself out of plays.

Mauga sucks dick, but that contract has to be nearly vet minimum. It's not that outrageous.

The ILB situation in the near future looks bad. Missing completely on Nico Johnson hurts.

Chris Ballard negotiates these deals with existing NFL players, not Dorsey.
