I just don't know why you'd give a kicker that long of a deal. Seems kind of like relief pitchers and volatility.

Getting all the smaller stuff sorted before moving on to the big man. I am curious what the hits on the cap look like this year before and after these extensions to Butker and Schwartz. May be moving some of what is owed to clear room for some of Jones’ contract requests.

mdchiefsfan

Now that they have the cap space from Berry, they’re wheeling and dealing. I think these are just the first few dominos falling in route to Jones’ extension.

Locked up a top 10, 24 year old kicker until he is 29/30, for 4m a year. Steal.

In 3 years when mediocre kickers are getting 5-6 m per year, we will be talking about how great Veach was at extending people at the right time.

06-13-2019, 02:11 PM
With the firepower on offense, Andy should never kick extra points anymore.

Just go all in on 2 point conversions unless it only takes 1 point to win the game.

Like Steph Curry/GS changing the game with the constant use of the 3.

This. Look at the shitpile of kickers at the bottom half of the league. Blair. Fucking. Walsh. Is still getting legit tryouts for starting jobs. When you got a good one, hold on to him no matter the cost.

Kinda funny to think... Buttker was so reliable in the stretch run this year that we barely even noticed him. Good problem to have

Paying for a place kicker I can get behind.

Paying for a punter is ridiculous. We're entering year 5 of 'we should've cut Colquitt' and have overspent by about $15 million over that period.

I agree with this, but it also seems like such a small sample size for Butker to make him one of the highest paid kickers in the league. Who knows, with the new CBA that will be coming soon, Butker could end up looking like a bargain even if he is only good going forward.

Colquitt is still great, but with this Chiefs team, there no good reason to pay him what they are. We could have signed someone off the street for league minimum and it would most likely have no impact on the win total.

jjchieffan
07-13-2019, 11:58 AM
I don't know about it being year 5. Colquitt probably won us quite a few games during the Alex Smith Era. He really didn't see a drop in punts until last year. I would say year 2, but an argument could be made for year 3. Not 5. But yeah, there is no need to pay a punter that much with an offense like this.

RealSNR
07-13-2019, 12:03 PM
I'm not getting my panties in a twist over the deal, but... yeah. Never trust kickers. Especially young kickers.

Blair Walsh had a booming leg and was dead on accurate. Until he missed a kick in the playoffs. Now he's a chump replacement-level kicker

Cody Parkey was doing pretty well. Until he wasn't.

Green Bay inexplicably stood by Mason Crosby as he struggled mightily for more than a season. And even then, he's just kind of okay now. Before then, however, he was among the NFL's best kickers.

Knock on wood, I don't think that's going to happen to Butker. But as soon as you think you can get comfortable with a kicker, they'll find a way to fuck you over. They always do.

You're right - I was a year off.

2016, when he made $3.6 million - that was the year I was fine with walking away from him. So we'll have paid about $9 million more over those 4 years than I'd have liked to have paid for a punter (and there's still a chance that they make a move on him this fall).

I'm just saying that it adds up. It's why I'm so protective of our cap at all times - I hate the 'have cap, will spend' approach because there are no rollover penalties. If you have it and don't NEED to spend it - don't. Roll it over, get your cap credits out of it and you'll have that much more the following season.

I just don't think a lot of people understand how those rollover dollars work very well. By not having Colquitt all those years, we'd have been able to bank those dollars forward and just keep plowing them into subsequent cap years. Now we'd be sitting on $9-10 million in spare cap that could make things a lot simpler and could've made pursuing someone like Kyle Fuller more feasible last season.

We have the best STs coach in football - you telling me we can't get league average punting out of a rookie or street free agent? Dude built Butker into a premier kicker, he can turn raw clay into something passable as a punter.

I trust bigger kickers more. I know I shouldn't, but with the levers they can bring into play, they can use a simpler motion to generate power.

Simpler = more repeatable. More repeatable = more reliable.

A guy like Santos was always going to make me nervous because he had to be loud to generate his power. Butker's is easy; guy has plus distance on an average leg swing. That means he's not 'overthrowing' so to speak, so his mechanics should stay sound and his accuracy should be all the easier.

It's like so many of us said about Mahomes when we got him - that easy zip on his passes means he doesn't have to gear up to get into windows. When you're not working as hard, you're more precise. Mahomes can make some of those throws more accurately because he's not having to reach back to make them - just a calm, easy release and the ball explodes.

Gimme that tall kicker with easy levers and a simple leg swing and I'll be more confident than I would in most guys.

Okay, I'm also now looking up some Butker stats. The stark difference in the power and awesomeness of our 2018 offense as compared to 2017 even reflects itself in kicking statistics. Lol. Granted, Butker wasn't on the Chiefs for the first 3 games of 2017, so these aren't perfect comparisons, but the differences are so great the extra 3 games probably don't matter.

In 2017, Butker attempted 28 extra points. In 2018, he attempted 69 extra points.

In 13 games of 2017, Butker attempted 42 field goals. In a full 16 games of 2018, he attempted just 27.

He converted 14 more field goals in 2017 vs 2018 (38 vs 24). That's a difference of 42 points. You'd think his total scoring between the two seasons would be insane, but it's actually not. Because he kicked so many freaking extra points in 2018, he's only off by 5 points between the two seasons (142 in 2017 vs 137 in 2018).

So... yeah. Mahomes hates field goals.

The Jack Fox kid is interesting. He has a huge leg. He was 2nd in the NCAA in explosive punt total.

Honesty I don’t care too much about accuracy inside the 20 anymore if a guy can flip the field booming the ball. This kid can do that.

I think this is Colquitt’s last year. We won’t be able to keep his price tag while paying all our guys big money.

The Jack Fox kid is interesting. He has a huge leg. He was 2nd in the NCAA in explosive punt total.

Honesty I don’t care too much about accuracy inside the 20 anymore if a guy can flip the field booming the ball. This kid can do that.

I think this is Colquitt’s last year. We won’t be able to keep his price tag while paying all our guys big money.

TC “injury”, perhaps.

What would they know about it? They gave their kicker 4/15M last year.

After jettisoning super accurate kicker Robbie Gould, champ.

That was three seasons ago. And they didn't go cheap with Parkey.

You only need a guy to boom a ball if you're constantly getting stopped on your own side of the field. With Mahomes and our offense, accuracy matters a whole lot more than distance.

Hes just got 2 years left under contract and his cap hit goes down half a mil so I'd say theres a decent chance hes on the team to finish his contract. He also took less per year money on this last deal so he might even do it again. I dont really see the need for him either but hes been our mvp in several seasons so I hope he wins a super bowl with us.

I don't know about it being year 5. Colquitt probably won us quite a few games during the Alex Smith Era. He really didn't see a drop in punts until last year. I would say year 2, but an argument could be made for year 3. Not 5. But yeah, there is no need to pay a punter that much with an offense like this.


MVP didn’t punt much last year. I remember him thanking Pat for letting him punt.

On Buttkickers right is a little photo framed with Brett Veachs name and General Manager Kansas City Chiefs printed.
Is that M. Peters in his Rams #22 jersey one of the players on it?

Or are those Michigan players?

Thank you sir. I didn’t know he played.

That’s got to be cool for the players playing for a coach and gm that ere former players?

I mean... the coaches and GMs who didn't play college football at all are kind of few and far between, aren't they?

Remember that it was so jaw-dropping to people that Todd Haley never played football.

True.

But with an offense as explosive as ours is, is it more important to save 10 yards when you're punting from the 50 (because how many of Colquitt's punts inside the 50 are downed at the 15 for a nominal benefit) or get another 15 on the rare occasions your buried inside your own end?

I mean we only punted 45 times last year - would you rather have the big league that can flip a field on the times we punted from deep in our territory or the more accurate one that can save a handful of yards punting from theirs?

I'm not actually sure that either side of the argument is correct, but I think there's enough of an argument either way that paying $2+ million more for a punter than you have to is folly. Especially when I think Colquitt's accuracy is largely overrated anyway. The Chiefs had touchbacks on 11.2% of their punts last year - as near as I can figure it, only 2 teams had a higher figure than that last year.

The only place the Chiefs punting unit truly excelled last season was on average yards per return and even that may be a result of excellent coverage as much as anything. Even with that, we barely had a net inside the top 10.

He isn't a truly great punter. He's a slightly above average punter on a team that has less need for a punter than any squad in football and who needs the cap space wherever it can get it to build it up and allocate it to the young core of this squad. It's time to move on from Colquitt and has been for awhile.

I think it’s more rare for the GM to be a former player?
Although:
Dorsey played LB
That gm dude before him, played.
Did CP, lol? I know he had a knack for UCLA playas

So with the Chiefs it would seem former gms played.
I always thought it was the coach who might have played?



So what was Veach? Safety? CB?

Good guess.
