winning the grievance means we don't have to pay him this year or next year, we can cut / trade him without cap penelties. |

after reading back, let me re-explain what I'm trying to say;
we won the grievance so we don't have to pay him 3.5 mil this year / not 250K next year. We just opened the door for a trade. If teams try to leverage a probable "cut" and wait for him to be on the free market, we can still keep him. Try putting a fire under his butt to perform better. Then next year we can trade him, or keep him for only 250K (if he bratts out in the middle of the year, say) and in two years we could even franchise him, so his ass is still ours and he's wasting precious years to make a name for himself. So we have all the power for trade negotiations THIS YEAR! I think the grievance was just for leverage, not for money. We'll know for sure very soon. Trade talks come up or he's quiet and practicing it was a leverage move. If he's cut, then it was for money/cutting off dead weight. |
Isn't LJ due 3 million that KC had been withholding pending this decision? Maybe I'm way off, but that was my understanding of the situation.

Agree. Cap may be a problem down the road. Right now it's like unused vacation time. Use it or lose it. |

In other words, there's no more reason to cut LJ today than there was yesterday. I don't see where Florio's spin in the PFT article (that the Chiefs were waiting on this ruling to cut LJ) comes from. |

It said "There have been published reports that if the Chiefs prevailed in the grievance they would release the running back. That’s not necessarily the next logical step, however. Releasing him now wouldn’t accomplish anything but get him out of the building. If that’s what the Chiefs want, then he should be released by sundown. If not, then there is no reason to make a move at this time." and that's what started the CP spin.... |
We probably just cut him now.

See ya thug boy.

I don't think it's a slam dunk that he'll be cut.
If it were that serious to Chiefs brass I think he'd be gone already. |

What does the team stand to gain from cutting him? More salary cap room that they won't be able to spend? |
If they want to hate on him for being a malcontent. Send him to Detriot for a pair of Gun's old yellow glasses.

If the Chiefs winning in the grievance doesn't mean LJ's contact isn't considered void, it might be wise to keep LJ. He'll be really, really angry now and he does his best running when he's angry.
