Yup. That's what happens when you build a team around Alex Smith. That should change soon. Our old guys will be restructured or cut. I'm guessing we'll make some D cuts over the next few years that will hurt. We will build our D through the draft, not free agency. So that makes decisions like Dee Ford and Chris jones and Allen Bailey and Kendall fuller over the next few years really really interesting.

I'd bet next year at the very least we'll restructure and extend Houston, franchise Ford, let Bailey and sorenson go. Keep Nelson and scandrick only if cheap.
Why in the hell would they keep Scandrick? He's been benched the last two games for being a ****tard in the Chargers game.

Check out their free agents.

He's the kind of guy you keep for depth on a cheap deal.

I disagree. I think he is a liability to even be on the roster. Our cheap deals need to be first contract guys, not veterans who have clearly lost their athletic edge.

For reference, here are our UFAs for next year and their current cap number.

Allen Bailey - $8M
Dee Ford - $8.7M
Anthony Sherman - $2M
Demetrius Harris - $2.1
Orlando Scandrick - $1.25M
Spencer Ware - $982k
Mitch Morse - $1.486
Frank Zombo - $550K
Ron Parker - $915K
Jordan Devey - $720K
Jeff Allen - $500K
Kelvin Benjamin - $352K
Charcandrick West - $148K
Chris Conley - $2.1
Steven Nelson - $2M

33M or so total that will need to be replaced or resigned. Personally, I think we can get the same production at the same or below cost for everyone not in bold. I included Mitch Morse in that based on availability.

Scandrick is still a smart player that has been around the league. You can't fill a roster with young guys or nobody knows what to do.

From spotrac front page, assessing all the playoff teams:
Quote:
For a team that is near the top of the league in terms of offensive production and near the bottom of the league in terms of defense, the financials certainly don't bear out. With the exception of TE Travis Kelce, the Chiefs are scoring gigantic values at the major offensive positions, and above average production from their fairly well-paid offensive line.

Defensively though, the Chiefs are still in the process of "decluttering" their finances. They've made significant cuts over the past two offseasons to allow for free agent signings, but are likely going to be pressed to make another this March with Justin Houston's cap figure rising to $21.1M, and Dee Ford having a career year with free agency around the corner. Kansas City will also need to address the running game this March, with the unfortunate loss of Kareem Hunt going forward.


Looking ahead, the Chiefs have just north of $42M in projected cap space for 2019, with 41 players under contract, a bit of room to work with to address the above, plus a desperately needed upgrade to their secondary.

I would let everyone but Ford, Sherman, and Nelson walk

I would entertain Benjamin on a cheap 1-year “prove-it” deal. With an entire training camp, his production with this team might be different.

Jones and Hill aren't FA's, but they would be stupid to play under their current deals, and we would be stupid to not take care of their contracts as early as possible.

see above: I added some info

You have to think Allen, Parker, West, and Zombo are gone almost immediately considering they were already cut before this season.

Houston 21m next year


Hammy Watkins 19.2, then 21. :)

My best guess is that Houston extends, bringing his average cap number down. I think that Berry is a post-June 1 designation, and if they can sign Ford to 10M a year or under, they will. Otherwise, let him walk and get your 3rd round comp pick.

The fact that KPass sucks is just a huge black hole of frustration. We should have both Ford and Houston's replacements already, but he and Speaks are apparently unplayable.
