What will Pest do without all the escalades? He is now less valid for your mistake. Quantifiably so.

The only time I see Kam in the discussion is on chiefs planet. Unless you want to go back a couple of years. Thomas, yes. Matthieu, yes. Kam, not in the discussion. Do I think he's bad? No. But in discussion for best safety? Hell no.

Glad to see he got a raise. I know he was really struggling for money there for awhile.

How much money do the Cheaps have left?

More than enough

When you draft as well as Dorsey does, it doesn't matter how much cap space KC has.

There is always someone ready to step up and that's a credit to the ability John Dorsey has to identify talent and fill the whole roster with quality players with rare traits.

This. I've never understood the claim of "Hunt's Cheap". Seems to pay the players his football minds tell him to pay. Not sure what else you could want in an owner.

And he has spent TONS of cash to walk away from bad directions of the franchise and has always tried to put the best possible guys in the jobs that are important.

Dorsry was highly sought after for a long time in GB and Hunt got him in KC.

Andy Reid was the best available coach on the market in 2013 and Hunt went out and hired him.

It's arguable that Scott Pioli was the most sought after GM prospect in the league for a couple years and it was huge when Hunt hired him....it didn't work out, but at least he went out and paid top dollar to try to win.

Hunt has written a lot of HUGE checks, too....so that Dorsry can maneuver the cap however he wants and give guys like Eric Berry 78million dollar deals with a 5m cap hit year 1.

Same with Houston's, LDT, Kelce and other big deals Dorsey has signed guys to.

Hunt has been a terrific owner that took over a very old roster with an aging GM that was no longer effective...and has transformed it into one of the best franchises in football.

Think about this.....

In 2018, the releases of Alex Smith, Derrick Johnson, and Tamba Hali would add $32M to the cap. Holy shit.

I know that's easier said than done, especially with all-time guys like Hali and DJ, but we would have around $44M to spend after those moves, including Berry and LDT's new deal. The defense would still have Houston, Berry, Peters, Ford, Jones, etc. The offense would need to have Alex's replacement ready, which they should.

They aren't gonna cut Alex Smith next offseason.

They will trade him or let him play out the last year of his deal and get a comp pick in 2020.

We should get a third for Poe next draft...I wonder who walks next offseason to give us our annual third round comp pick...

HAHAHAHAHA

What a lovely little fantasy.

It's almost time for that extension folks!

I agree. Love Berry, but this D has shown it can plug and play at the safety position.

Well, to let him stay in 2018 would be reeruned if they have a capable starter ready. Saves $17M on the cap to release.

I don't see anyone trading for that.

He was being quoted by so many it was like he wasn't even on ignore.

If Tigger hates the deal, then it's a good deal.

I encourage SAUTO to continue in his Tigger-killing ways.

Amen.
