That’s not how this works.

Tardif was a below average starter last year being paid live a good starter.

Easy cut.

LDT
$5 million in cap savings
$4 million in dead money

Reiter would be a better cut candidate as he has minimal dead money ($333,000) and Chiefs would create $3.425 million in cap space...

I wonder if they can bring Wis back?

Kinda surprised we didn’t give Kemp a RFA offer. That knee must be pretty bad. I bet we sign him when he gets healthy.

Now it’s time to get something for LDT and Watkins.

While not exciting, I like the approach the Chiefs are taking. Take the time to work on deal with Jones and Watkins, don't put undo pressure to get those two done.

The market may help. For one, I feel like Jone's number (worth) is now known regardless if we are looking to trade or sign him. With Sammy, he has to be motivated to work something out since there have already been big WR trades and the draft is loaded with talented guy.

The wait and see approach might also allow the Chiefs a better shot at keeping a guy like Breeland, which would be awesome IMO. For reasons that I simply do not understand, his market must be kinda cool. Which is good for the Chiefs.

I'd be ecstatic if we some how returned Pennel, Watkins, Jones, and Breeland.

I think you just gotta look at pure savings in this case. Being tight against the cap.

Reiter was actually a little better than LDT last year I think. Definitely $1.5M better (the difference in savings).

I’d move from LDT.

^ Yes to all of this

And Wisnewski.

It’s also Interesting that Veach only converted 5m of Clark’s salary to a bonus when he could have converted 12.5

The team may also look at it that he was still possibly recovering from injury last year and he might play better fully healed. If they can’t trade him, they might want to just keep him rather than saving the 5m.

He's always recovering from injury.

Bye, Doc.

Problem there is he’s always getting injured anyways. I’d move on.

He may not have wanted to spread out 12.5 over the remainder of the contract though. I would say it was about keeping dead money down in future years.

Nick Foles traded to the Bears for a 4th round pick.

I’d cut him, too...but it doesn’t seem like Veach is too worried about the guys that make sense to keep/sign. Haven’t heard a peep about any of

Breeland
Chris Harris jr
Pennell
Wisnewski

My hope is that cap space is going to open up with extensions/trades and that $ will go to that list.

Taking BB’s scraps...

A decision on Watkins has to be happening soon.

He either extends, or is likely released. Sammy might want to think twice about testing the FA market given the depth of the draft. Jerry Jones screwed the market up with that Cooper contract, but I don't think other GM's are that silly.

I doubt there is a trade market for him.

Teams in our division obviously see our IOL as an exploitable weakness.

How exactly is a run stuffing NT supposed to have a huge impact against Mahomes?

Easier to slow play the RPO game for the linebackers if they can trust the defensive line to hold the LOS. Make no mistake, it helps.

Lol ok. I didn’t say it has no impact. I said little. What you just described is pretty little. It’s not like the Chargers sucked up front before.

Being able to more easily make teams one dimensional by stopping the run is little?

They’ve been getting pushed around between the tackles for years now, especially when Mebane hasn’t been available.

Not every move that a rival team makes is bad or just decent dude. It’s ok.

you ok, dude? Seem very edgy recently...

Down and distance is always important.

Doesn't Watkins price have to down today or we are stuck with 21 mil?

Watch and learn, dude. The Chiefs have one of the best front offices. They aren’t panicking and that strategy of slow play will pay off.

I’ve gice credit where it’s due for good moves sorry that you all are overrating 50% of them.

Glasgow? Good move
Buckner? Great move.
Joseph? Solid move, but not going to have much of an impact in terms of stopping Mahomes

Even with him under contract we are still below the cap

Chargers can make whatever moves they want on defense. Without a legitimate upper third QB, they aren’t a contender. Maybe a wildcard, but not much more than that.

If anything, they’ll just waste good careers on their team while they move from journeyman to journeyman at QB. We know that one all too well.

I’m fine man lol

I’ve already explained that Denver is replacing Harris with Casey, but most of you probably don’t even realize he’s probably the better player today. You just see Casey’s name and assume they upgraded and that’s simply untrue.

The Chargers definitely upgraded at NT. Not saying they didn’t. Just that it isn’t going to have a huge impact against Mahomes. They need Tillery to take a big step forward if they want to do that.

They will try to get a QB in the draft and develop him. If they miss out this year, I expect them to tank hard for Goldilocks to make LA interested in that team.

Trubisky available? I think we should grab him for a 4th or 5th round pick and then see if we can resell him next year for a 1st round pick.

Reid can make him look better than Nagy.

Their defense is going to be too good to get the #1 overall pick. Like so good they might be 2nd in the AFCW with Taylor at QB.

Which might be the worst possible place to be.

Not good enough to contend.

Not shitty enough to get the guy that makes you good enough to contend.

We don’t have the draft capital right now to make those types of moves

This division isn’t going to be a gimme this year.

Lots of moves to be made between now and camp, but the division is getting better (the level of improvement is debatable) but KC at this point in time hasn’t improved and has probably taken a small step back.

Not much cap space currently and only 5 draft picks to work with.

Going to be interesting to see where we are in may

Well, moving forward we need to maximize picks and draft capital. This is an investment in a low round this year to make it higher next year.

Next year we will be competing for the prize too.

We aren’t going to be trading picks for anyone

I'd look for the Chiefs to invest 2021 picks to move up/acquire 2020 picks on draft day.

We're going to be swimming in comp picks next year, even if they're only mediocre ones.

Foles is gone! Trevor Lawrence come on down!

1. I don't think so.
2. Hard to move or acquire 2020 picks with future picks.

I can see them trading out of 32 to get more picks, but that's it.

Seems a little too coincidental we haven't heard a damn thing from the Chiefs or a damn thing in regards to Chris Harris Jr.. If we arent able to restructure Sammy I've got to think we are after CHJ.
