Should I explain it in crayon for you?

A 10% cap increase does not equate to a 10% salary increase. That sounds like some bullshit logic. You have evidence to support that logic?

If they do we'll never be like the Patriots.

If you want to be like the Patriots then you'll need to find the GOAT QB and get him to agree to take a fraction of what he's worth.

10% more money infused into an open market does mean that you're likely to see 10% more spending.

Now the question is where. Will that necessarily be at the top of the salary scale? Will it be at any particular position?

Of course his agents will say exactly what is being suggested - 10% more money means my client should get 10% more, but Dorsey's response will be pretty simple; nah, it means that QBs, pass-rushers and cornerbacks will get 15% more but we'll gladly consider you worth 5% more.

OR, he'll argue that Mathieu's extension was done with the new cap in mind and was based on that new reality, thus it set the market with the 10% already in place.

I don't think Berry gets anywhere near what the OP suggests.

because the money effects how much you can spend on other players


:doh!:

Wanna bet?

He is shooting for 15+m per.


I think the Chiefs will end up folding and paying it

He's just pointing out how much better Berry is than Ward and stewart combined.

Lighten up Sandy.

That's what I'm saying Genious. If we let players dictate the way we spend the cap money it takes away our ability to build a contender. If you do overpay then you have to nail every draft.

Have not read the entire thread so this may have already been pointed out but your math is all wrong. $10 million out of $133 million is not 13.3%, it is close to 7.5%. You got your numbers backwards. 13.3% of $133 million is close to $17.5 million.

Now you may return to your normally argumentative thread! :)

Of course, but Boss is claiming that a 10% cap increase has a direct correlation to a 10% contract increase. There's no correlation there.

A 10% cap increase just means that the Chiefs can spend 10% more through out their roster.

It DOESN'T mean that you take Tyron's contract and increase it by the % that the cap increased.

Now, this is very easy for Boss to prove. You take the % amount the cap increased last season and check to see if that's how much of an increase Tyron received over the last highest paid safety.

My guess is the numbers won't correlate.

We have gone from Clark is cheap to people saying we are going to pay a safety $15MM per year.

LMAO

Good point.

A testament to the finicky nature of an NFL fan.

It's easier than that, really.

Mathieu and Harrison Smith both signed contract extensions that start in 2017. They were clearly signed based on the cap as of 2017 because those projections were out long before the ink was dry.

So you don't have to 'adjust' at all - you just say that Mathieu and Smith ARE the market and operate accordingly. You don't build an additional bump into it at all. You either say that Berry's a better player and better risk than those two guys and pay him a little more than they are getting, or you don't.

But you don't need to guess how much more of the cap should go to them at all; their markets were set under this cap.
