You guys keep quoting this years cap space as if it is the end all be all.

KC has 82m in cap space for 2019 and will have well over 30 this year.

That’s a lot of space to sign with.

About 27.5. That's not including Amerson's weekly roster bonus, though.

That's neat, but a lot of teams with the cap space to pay players today and today is better than tomorrow unless you sign with the Raiders I guess.

The Chiefs are gonna struggle to compete for quality FA's.

He played a ton of snaps at Memphis, too.

It’s pure speculation. Sure it sounds good if you’re going to try to fit the narrative though.

Since the initial subject was Jones, we haven’t been doing that with him.

Jones only played 680 snaps on defense this year in all 16 games. Poe played over 800 when he was here.

It's not pure speculation.

Of course it sounds good because it's physically what happens to guys when they play a shit ton of snaps, especially big guys.

Why is this a big deal?

They haven't overplayed Jones snaps, but he's also been hurt and inconsistent at times.

Up to this point, I wouldn't feel very confident giving him a big contract

They've got quite a bit to do in terms of bringing guys in to even get to be competitive next year.

May not be a bad idea to have happen in the grand scheme of things but a down year next year looks to be a big possibility.

That what I was talking about...they can stagger contracts. $112 million sounds a little better than $30 million....KC can sign players this year.

Because he can't handle any more. 2 offseason in a row with maintenance related medical issues from wear and tear of the season and he's only 23. That is not good for his longevity no matter how you look at it. And there will be more wear and tear by the time he reaches his 2nd contract. Do you honestly feel good about giving a guy that can't hit 700 snaps and will need some sort of offseason medical program every year 50/60/70 million to play in Sutton's scheme?

They can't get to 30 this year without cutting Bailey as well.

They've got a shit load of dead money now, staggering deals just means more dead money down the road.

It's probably time to pay the piper and get the shit in order.

Staggering deals is how the cap got in the mess in the first place. Kept pushing back money and voiding deals to sign the veterans up front and here we are.

No more staggering deals on the backend especially the years that Tyreek, Hunt and Mahomes are up to cash in.

Wonder if the Browns would be interested in trading Shelton

Because no matter how good it sounds we don’t know for sure that’s why, and to suggest otherwise is foolish.

Logically, more stress and wear and tear is going to lead to issues.

Especially big dudes.

This isn't trying to fit a narrative. It's basic shit.

To suggest it played no part is pretty foolish as well.
