****2016 Chiefs Training Camp Thread**** (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=301065)

Was at practice this morming.

I agree that Conley & particularly Wilson, looked fantastic.

I too hope that it transfers to game days.

Side note, I saw the Meth Factor there eating up the attention from the Local TV stations and forcing his trading cards on kids.

Does that dude work or just live off of used cigarette butts and gas station sandwiches?

**** that pussyfart! That was a huge screwjob, and other teams skated without a peep while we got made an example of for a innocuous situation.

At worst, if he was going to hold everybody accountable, maybe our 5th rounder I could live with as justifiable.

Hype?
Is he being hyped as something other than a 3rd WR?

If Rod Streater (and/or Mike Williams) can return to form, they're valuable assets.

Let the process play itself out before dismissing either.

Good Andy Reid press conference today if it hasn't already been posted.

I feel like the idea that Wilson is afraid to get hurt or give extra effort is being blown out of proportion. There are some examples that bother me and I won't disagree with, but I still think it's getting a bit overblown.

I disagree.

There's more camp competition at WR than at any time I can think of since the early 2000's.

Wilson definitely needs to impress, which includes selling out in TC.

That wasn't my point. I agree that there is actually guys that can knock him down the chart. I just think that the knock on his effort from the last season or so is a bit exaggerated.

I have to disagree again.

He had alligator arms and no proclivity to give up his body last year in critical moments.

Maybe I missed some times during the season. I remember a few, most notably the playoff game, but I haven't felt this was an epidemic.

That is excellent news...it's a big deal to come into a professional NFL camp and stand out on your first day. He's not going against college scrubs...

Peters did this too...he had like 2-3 INTS in his first practice. Granted interceptions are more headline grabbing but to out-shine the DL vets on day one...KC may have landed a future star.

He looked like a man amongst boys on his highlight reel...was just blowing by dudes.

Fisher's extension is a start, but what else are the Chiefs likely to consider?

Cut Jamaal Charles. It's brutal to imagine the Chiefs moving on from their star running back, but they didn't skip a beat on offense after Charles went down with a knee injury last season, and by next year, the former Texas star will be in his age-30 season with two ACL tears in his rearview mirror. Kansas City could free up $7 million by cutting Charles, and really, he's the only veteran with a contract lending itself to an obvious release which would create serious cap space. Alternately, the Chiefs could try and extend Charles with a deal that reduces his cap hold while handing him a Matt Forte-esque contract.

Make several smaller moves. The Chiefs could create space by moving on from or restructuring the deals of starters or rotation contributors like Jaye Howard (freeing up $4 million in cap space), Dustin Colquitt ($4.1 million), Josh Mauga ($3 million) or Jah Reid ($2 million). Each of those moves would also just open up a spot the Chiefs need to fill with a new starter, though.

Franchise Poe. It's unlikely that the Chiefs will franchise Berry for the second consecutive year, given that they would owe him nearly $13 million on a franchise tag. That would make Berry the highest-paid safety in football by a comfortable margin, and it would probably be easier to negotiate a long-term deal at that rate.

Poe, though, would be a far more palatable option at the likely franchise-tag rate for defensive tackles, which should come in between $14.5 million and $15 million on a one-year deal. Cox's new deal is worth $47.8 million over its first three years. Given the market, the Chiefs could justify franchising Poe twice, paying $32.5 million over the next two years, before needing to really come to a long-term decision on his future with the team. That should be enough short-term leverage to get Poe, who has already undergone back surgery during his professional career, to sign a long-term deal before hitting free agency.

Extend Alex Smith. With two years left on Smith's deal after this season, the Chiefs could tack on two years to the 32-year-old quarterback's contract and try to push some of the heavier cap hits into the future by guaranteeing base salaries in 2018 and 2019. With longtime backup Chase Daniel out of town and no obvious quarterback of the future on the roster, the Chiefs don't appear to be moving on from their starter anytime soon, anyway.

Move on from Berry. Given Kansas City's situation and Berry's reported demands to get a deal in excess of the five-year, $51-million pact handed to Minnesota's Harrison Smith, there just might not be a fit here. It's easier to find a good safety than it is to find a star defensive lineman, which is why the latter get paid far more than the former. The Chiefs could very well move third-round pick KeiVarae Russell from corner to safety and try to use the money they save on Berry to lock up Poe.

Good read on the Chiefs cap options next year.
