The only bad part of this deal is that with the direction the NFL is heading it may be illegal to touch the QB by the time this contract is up
|
When Clark says he wants something, he gets it.
|
Given that the cap is about 143 mil, and is expected to rise over the next few years, a 16 mil average cap hit over the next 4 years, for instance, isn't that harsh.

t's great when CP is united with joy

Glad this deal got done... the Chiefs are complete as they begin training camp in a few weeks.
No hold-outs, no major injuries... no excuses. |
2016 Free Agents:
Hussain Abdullah Jeff Allen Jason Avant Eric Berry Tyvon Branch Chase Daniel Mike DeVito Cyrus Gray Tamba Hali Junior Hemingway Jaye Howard Derrick Johnson Josh Martin Sean Smith Donald Stephenson Frank Zombo Would be nice to keep both Abdullah and Berry (God willing he recovers and can play football again at a high level) so we don't have to fill in a massive crater at safety with rookies and dumpster dive players. We also could really use two of the three: Jaye Howard, Mike DeVito, and Derrick Johnson, again depending on how well they recover from injury. Everyone else we can make do without, including Sean Smith. Our depth is locked and ****ing LOADED at CB. |

Chiefs sign Justin Houston to long-term deal Deadlines spur action. The Chiefs and franchised-tagged outside linebacker Justin Houston nailed down a long-term deal before Wednesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline. Houston inked a six-year, $101 million deal that includes $52.5 million in guarantees, NFL Media's Albert Breer and Rand Getlin report. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport adds that Houston's signing bonus is $20.5 million and his contract includes $32.5 million fully guaranteed. The contract is the richest deal in Chiefs' history and largest for any linebacker. Houston was reported to want J.J. Watt-type money. He got it, earning slightly more than Watt's six-year, $100 million deal that came with $30.9 million guaranteed. Houston's deal is also the second-largest contract ever for a defensive player, behind only Ndamukong Suh. Houston becomes one of five non-quarterbacks to make $16 million per season -- Watt, Suh, Calvin Johnson and Mario Williams. Houston earned 22 sacks in 2014, falling just half a sack shy of the NFL single-season record. While Houston goes overlooked by his colleagues -- No. 27 in the player's 2015 Top 100 list -- and most of the general populous, his new contract empathically exhibits his worth to the Chiefs and proclaims his status as one of the premiere sack masters in the NFL. The 26-year-old plays a pivotal role in a Chiefs defense that relies on pressuring the quarterback with its front seven. With Houston's future secure, he can roll into 2015 with confidence, chasing Michael Strahan's single-season sack record and backing up his proclamation that he is part of the best pass-rushing duo in the NFL. |

The Chiefs cap is fine. Alex doesn't have a new era QB contract. It's a $17 million average.
The new QB contracts with the cap rise will be in the $21-22 million range. Alex won't see $20 million in his last year of his deal. The disparity from $17 million avg (the new avg for middle of the pack QB's) to the new era $21-22 million from what the QB market is becoming is the perfect to give to your best player. |
