Schwartz was a good run blocker but a poor pass protector; he was not worth what the Giants paid for him but good for him that he was able to get his pay day.

The only reason why he looked good, compared to our other interior guys, was because he was the most experienced.

Overpay him? Show me his contract details....otherwise you're just speculating.

cool, besides the fact that there is still a ****ing entire 2014 season to play.

I mean if this was like the Madden video game where we could sim through it right to 2015, that would be neat. But it isn't, so we still have to watch this team play an entire new season before you get to your "grass is greener/light at the end of the tunnel/Wizard of Oz yellow brick road" dream scenario.

Shut the **** about overpaying him now.

Meh, he sucks in pass protection. Again, Chiefs fans and wanting to hang on to mediocre talent.

I'm anticipating several things here:

1. The Chiefs are only shopping in the bargain bin this offseason, and thus should bring in 4 compensatory picks next year (my guess: a 3rd, two 4ths, and a 5th).

2. The Chiefs could open up cap space for next year by releasing Tamba Hali, Brandon Flowers, and Sean Smith.

If the Chiefs do bring in 4 compensatory picks, they will have 11 picks, 9 picks in the first 5 rounds in 2015.

If the Chiefs do cut those players, which I reckon they might, that would open up about $24m in cap space. On top of the $24m they're already projected to have (pre-Alex Smith and pre-Justin Houston extensions which will take up cap space, and pre-Eric Berry extension, which will free some up), that'll leave the Chiefs with $48m in cap space in 2015.

That should be enough to account for extensions for Smith and Houston, and still have over $30m left over for tons of free agent signings if they so desire, and tons of draft picks to either (a.) trade for talent, or (b.) bring in great talent in the Draft.

Just some food for thought.

Keep reaching, reerun.

First it was he was going to get overpaid. Now he sucks in pass protection.

He does suck in pass pro. You're going to argue differently?

Maybe you should take this season off. Take a mental health break.

No one really knows what the **** the Chiefs are gonna do. Dorsey comes from a team that doesn't play FA while Reid's history says he does.

Either way this is a rebuilding team, in 2 years Hali, DJ, Flowers and probably Charles unless you want to shell at big bucks for a near 30 RB will need to be replaced.
