The more we rehash the possibilities, the worse this seems

One can only deny the obvious for so long

Sorry is this one better?

LMAO

Just getting caught up on today’s Berry news. One thing I think people need to do is separate the 2. Berry his health and contract and a potential Thomas trade are two separate things. Meaning no they wouldn’t need to get Berry to agree to a settlement or contract restructuring before a potential trade. Healthy or not Berry’s contract is too new to renegotiate. They aren’t through the guaranteed years portion of it. Where they say xx amount guaranteed through the first 3 years etc. That contract isn’t getting touched. Even if he was ready to retire right now which is a stretch to say his agent wouldn’t just go along with him and say redo it. Much much worse would be the NFLPA the union would throw a fit. Go look at Shazeer (spell?) and Pittsburgh. He hasn’t yet renegotiated his deal has he? Lots of money involved. Players in that situation would leave too much money on the table. It’s not as simple as a contract restructuring to make cap space available for Thomas. Not with Berry. His contract isn’t optional for that and him being injured just complicates things. IF he is ready to hang it up and retire they will have to go through arbitration to satisfy precedent, his agent and how that makes him look to potential clients, Berry, NFLPA and last priority is fairness to KC in terms of how that affects future cap years. That’s not happening during the season a month before the trade deadline. That’s an off-season of arbitration that would take months rather than days.

Houston and him being excused from practice the other day and the educated guess that it could be to renegotiate to make room for Thomas cap # that’s actually a legit possibility imo. Very strong chance if they are actually exploring making it work. Big thing to watch is does Thomas play tomorrow or do they in activate him? That’s big too. Why play him when a ankle sprain or whatever could ruin a potential trade if it’s close?

Also NFI list doesn’t erase the players cap# or credit it back to the team. The only deal with NFI is whether they play a player when they are on that list. So that’s the actual cash that’s affected not cap space

yep

Cowherd on his show early on Friday said Seattle is going to lose Earl Thomas to KC reportedly. Where’s he getting that?

he has a show on Saturday?

Sorry forgot to add on Friday. Don’t know why I did that lol

No problem, he didn't EXACTLY say it that black/white - but yeah - something to that effect.

I was talking with someone today, and we were discussing the differences between the talent we identified and acquired on offense, versus the talent we identified and acquired on defense.

I know that Dorsey was also involved, as well as Veach, but it just seems like overall the percentage of offensive players who actually pan out and contribute is much higher on the offensive side of the ball. Of course, the defense has Sutton, so they already have a disadvantage. Anyone who has Houston in coverage almost 30% of his snaps does not seem to understand how to put players in a position to succeed.

Do you think Reid cannot recognize defensive talent, or do you think he doesn't even try because he only thinks about offense, and leaves defensive decisions to others?

Paylor said each week that goes by his salary gets cheaper. It goes down to $5.5 million I think by the week of the deadline. Expect for him to be dealt then.

Yes he did. Wasn’t during the Jason McIntyre interview. It was at the 18 min mark of the podcast of his show Friday

oh okay - I hadn't heard that - is there a copy online anywhere? I was thinking you'd meant that other one.

never mind mother ****er - I found it (good sighting) but he said verbatim 'they're going to lose Earl Thomas to the Chiefs reportedly' - very interesting.

So there's still hope ?

Sure. I think so.

If Cowherd said it, it’s going down.

Let it be known CP put this thing over the top when it comes down :)

around 18 mins - you may have to install a flash or plug-in or something

I know you're halfway joking - but I think this place has more power than any of us truly know. We're like a force from the fans.

we're like talking to people out on the streets of KC. Arrowhead Pride and Addict are a couple of fans in air-conditioning drinking Arnold Palmers...

I do joke around a bit but i'm serious on this one, had we not been all over ET's nuts he wouldn't have felt the love.

I don’t think Cowherd knows anything he’s assuming he’s going to be traded to the Chiefs while talking about teams in disarray.

Wow, how are we going to trade for Thomas and afford the new contract that goes with it. I doubt that Seattle would trade him on a discount because he only has one year left.

Because you don't worry about that right now - you go get that Superbowl - may i recommend you go play with the cap calculator that is available online - people really don't know just how doable this is - however we're not going to be able to keep EVERYone - in say 3 yrs. from now - it's not going to happen - that's the case already, even if we don't sign Earl. This is a sense of urgency, we need to bring the trophy home - and NOW is the best opportunity for that.

His current contract for this year fits into the Chiefs remaining cap space.

Next year, the Chiefs have $50m cap space. After extensions and re-signing role players, there will be 20-35m available for new free agents, I think ET fits fine in that.

I still hope they actually just pick up ET in free agency next year.

here you guys go

Anthony Sherman makes almost 2 1/2 time the amount of Hill...ROFL

Dont worry..If KC has to cut Berry..it's only $27 million against the cap....*Chunt*

Is ET in town yet?

Yes. But he wants to phone home.

I'm quite certain $ is irrelevant. Despite what some idiots think, Clark Hunt has proven to be an owner who will spend whatever it takes to get it done. And I'm sure we'd want as many games w/ ET as possible. It seems infinitely more likely that we're haggling over the price given all the numerous reports of the Seahawks' demands. What we really need is SEA to lose. Unfortunately until the deadline they have too many easy games, so it's likely to drag on another few weeks at least.

That has a better chance of happening than ET to KC..

No talk about this on any pregame show that I’ve seen yet

What’s that mean?

As long as he still wants out (and he does) the dream is still alive. Seattle isn't just going to let him walk for nothing and I'm assuming they'd rather send him to an afc team than an nfc team.

It really all comes down to Veach.

I'm trying to watch all of them & nothing.

Need to watch NFLN I guess.

ugh. my head would explode

Nothing.

Yup

La Canforna

Eagles, and others, have interest in Bell; Steelers would be open to a Bell for Earl Thomas swap:

Didn’t Seattle just take a rb in round 1?

Yeah. Highly doubt they want to pay Bell a premium price either

Please no

Just shows that the Steelers do indeed have interest in Thomas.

Schefter on his Earl Thomas segment said KC is the favorite because of the 2 2s. Asking price is a 2nd right now

Get it done

A second? What the ****, Veach.

If it really was a 2nd, you smile and say done

It is an asking price the Seahawks are "stuck" on, according to a source.

The Chiefs were unwilling to meet that price but would be interested if the Seahawks were to lower their demands.

VEACH. WHAT THE ****, MAN?

@JasonLaCanfora: Eagles, and others, have interest in Bell; Steelers would be open to a Bell for Earl Thomas swap: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/e...r-earl-thomas/

Yeah if it’s a second and they don’t do it that’s dumb

Yassss

Please don’t let him go to pitt

This should’ve been done man

If Brett Veach doesn't pull the trigger on ONE GOD DAMN SECOND ROUNDER for EARL GOD DAMN THOMAS I will personally BURN HIS HOUSE DOWN

That’s it? Get this ****ing done!

Veach is completely stuck on that he can't move one of his higher picks for a player because if he does then he has less capitol to make picks and if he has 2 bad drafts in a row people are going to think he sucks as a GM.

Yeah, Veach deserves a punch in the mouth if another team leapfrogs him with a 2nd. Only reason not is if Thomas is demanding a ridiculous contract

If you win people don’t care about bad drafts

Like I said, it's all up to Veach. Its only a matter of making a phone call.

If Veach doesn’t get ET because he’s worried about losing a late 2nd round pick, I’ll be pretty ****ing pissed.
