Last week it was reported that the Kansas City Chiefs had approximately a $41 million payroll for the 2010 season. Of course that didn't include quite a few players that had yet to to sign or re-sign but it's still a low amount (that was bumped up a little with Mike Vrabel's signing). In fact, it's the lowest amount in the NFL barely eclipsing the Arizona Cardinals.

Well, the Chicago Bears saw that payroll and matched it.
In one day of free agency..

On Friday, the Bears committed almost $40 million in 2010 cash to three players, an amount slightly above the entire payroll of the Kansas City Chiefs and Arizona Cardinals. Welcome to the uncapped year.

Wow. Notice that that's nearly $40 million in 2010.

Julius Peppers alone received in the neighborhood of $40 million....guaranteed.

So, yes, the Chiefs do not have much money committed to 2010 and missed out on the A+ group of free agents but much of that was to be expected. It still doesn't make it any easier to swallow.

Clark Hunt isn't cheap according to BossChief.

According to common sense he's not cheap.

You can't be called cheap if you are spending millions on coordinators and 5 million on a GM.

He's distributing the cash the wrong way, but he's spending.

And this will matter how when they don't contend for the NFC title later this year?
Seriously... We can all settle the **** down now.

Have you been following the organization that long?

And why does the fact that we haven't won a Superbowl (something 14 franchises have NEVER done mind you) mean that spending $40M, in one day of Free Agency, is the answer?

Some of you stay on auto-pilot.

Do you all think those English soccer teams are cheap?

If the Chiefs come away with Berry and Tate...
No one will even remember we had an opportunity to sign those two.
Both of them will be on the wrong side of 30 in two years when this team is ready to contend.
