Just FYI - Kruger started 15 games last year so if you give him incentives based on games started, they'll hit the cap immediately as they'll be considered likely to be earned. That will do nothing to help fit him in our cap.

And if you base it on sacks when you have a guy in Ford you desperately want to see succeed plus Hali and a possible Houston return, he probably won't be eager to come on board. Especially not if you put him at the SOLB slot where his pass rush opportunities are likely to be substantially reduced over what he could manage on the weak side in this scheme.

Kruger's probably not happening unless he really wants to come here and sees an opportunity for a below-market 'make good' deal that could propel him into next season's FA market. He has to know that the strong side isn't the best shot at that.

I wonder why Hue cut him.

It won't be with Kruger either, but it can be alot better in that he'd allow them to rotate ford and hali on the weak side and consistently pressure the qb.

After this article (I'm probably reading to much into it) but I don't think Ford ever really turns into a difference maker. He may end up a good solid rusher, but I don't know about a truly elite player. That's fine, but we need more oars on board if that's the case in order to keep the boat moving.

I agree that Kruger would help.

I just don't think they're going to be able to find the money to make it happen. They need to be very very careful in how they spend that 'found' Streater money, especially if they intend for him to be the #3 receiver. If he hits those incentives and we have to pay a cap tax for next season, if the money's been spent on Kruger, we make a precarious cap situation for next season that much worse.

That's fair. I've never thought much of Ford, and I don't think Paylor's feature paints a very rosy picture of his work ethic and potential, but two years is a little soon. Football players develop at extremely variable rates.

When you say many, what number are you thinking about? Seeing a few people saying it over and over again doesn't mean that a lot of people were saying it.

If it were just a money thing whyd they wait til now? Seems like he's not a productive player. We don't have much cap anyway roll with what you got.

The Chiefs currently have $4.4 million, which is plenty to sign a guy like Kruger.
