Why didn't we sign Houston months ago?
 

If we were going to just backup a Brink's truck, we could have done that at any time. Why not do it earlier so that we could use that cap room during the prime Free Agency period?

You mad, bro?

Theres probably 100 different reasons why, reasons we'll never be privy to.

Shuffling around that much money cant be easy.

Because originally what Houston wanted was probably higher. So they negotiated, and with other areas of the offseason, ie the draft, free agency, Andy eating barbecue, they now found time to get the contract done. Then, now, in reality it makes no difference. 50 is a chief.

Because Alex Smith sucks

Ian Rapoport reported last week that they tried to sign him back in October for (wisely) less money. It was likely around the time he had 12 sacks in 8 games, thus he turned it down and essentially bet on himself.

It paid off, literally. You have to consider all of the things that can happen in the months from April-July before just handing the money out (see Jason Pierre-Paul). They played it just right.

Clark wants to know whether or not you have a French mouse in your pocket?

The same reason that Demaryius Thomas and Dez Bryant signed at the last minute - deadlines provoke action.

I like boobs.

Im sure there will be an Arrowhead Addict article on this subject later this week.

Didn't take long for someone to find something to bitch about..

Let's ask WeathermanKumke and that 97.5 million contract Houston signed days before the deadline.

Why you keep trying to read that word....

Maybe he didn't want to sign so he could skip all the off-season crap.

Whew, glad you cleared that up. I was worried for you.



:D

My sources tell me Clark was broke up until a few months ago

I think I may like them more than you. :p

Greatest post ever!

This is worse than a Deberg thread.

She approves of your message

Sorry, Laz, but this is inmen level dumbassery. LOL

Hideous.

It's kind of cute watching some of you guys hate on him after he called his shot. It's not unreasonable to think they had it so close that it leaked it was getting done. Amazing that we put people down for doing essentially what this site was originally designed to do. Give us die hards some insider info. Ok, gang...

I think it was fairly obvious he was going to end up with that kind of contract. The only shocking part is that KC was the place that gave it to him.

Whatever. He's signed, Rausch has an offseason-long erection...

It's not hating it's total misreporting and guessing. if he said upwards of 100 million or around, I'd go for it. He gave an exact number though.

Why didn't Clark give me 100 million over 6 years to hand wash his cars?



Amongst the many questions we may never know the answers to.

I think it was the injury guarantee and guaranteed $$ they were working on as well.

Shut the **** up

Because Clark wanted to make as much interest of those millions as possible. So, sign him hours before the deadline.
When you got millions, the interest rates are higher on jumbo accounts.

Mystery solved.

it's uncalled for.

If it was obvious trolling I could see the bitching but he had it pretty close

This is for you Weatherman and your hard work and dedication to bring us assholes inside info

Oh, and this means I can buy my Houston jersey now.

Hell the **** yeah.

My only question is should I go authentic or get one personalized with his number and "THERAPIST" as the name?...

You stupid asshole.

better contact a doctor, bro. 4 hours is supposedly the maximum.

Oh my. Absolutely would, multiple times in 5 minutes.

Not for this man!

Omaha just jizzed in his pants.

Bullshit.

Dorsey: How about 6 years 92 million?

Houston/agent: Too low, you can do better.

Dorsey: Alright, we got creative, and we think we can do 6 yrs 97.5 with 50 mil guaranteed.

Houston/agent: Getting closer, you're in the ballpark. I'll come to town and we can figure it out from there.

Clark: What's he say?

Dorsey: He'll be here Tuesday, a couple details to workout, but I think we've got it.

Weatherman's source gets details, thinks it's a done deal, but wasn't completely in the loop, and here we are.


Point is, there's a hundred ways he could have had info that both he and his source thought was correct, but they were just a little misinformed.

You got a family, or a job? Shit happens all the time when trying to make plans and get everyone on the same page.

Fact is, he was so freaking close, it's not funny.

This sounds like what they were discussing on Arrowhead Pride earlier today. About how they could have kept bowe as a #2 if they signed houston earlier.

Do people read that site and make threads about it over here?

Bowe was gone.

Should have been and always was going to be after this season once he got popped...

Dude, you just proved my point he guessed.

He said it was going to happen. He said he had inside info. He showed where previous inside info came true. What's your problem with it?

thanks obama

Better question is why would Houston sign early and force himself to go through all the offseason programs?

Easy, if such info was leaked it would've immediately hit twitter ESPN/NFLN.

He also stated the wrong amount (97.5 million) as it was a matter of fact, now if he hit that on the nose I'd believe him 100%.

No, I didn't.

He even hit the day right. Chiefs even said the deal was reached on Tuesday, but waited to announce, as he said.

Because forgery is illegal?

You can't forcibly make someone sign a piece of paper?


They never made him an offer that he couldn't refuse months ago?

One guy, telling a friend, does not immediately inform Schefter.

That's Schefter's job, if any murmuring of the sort would cause holy hell on every form of media to get the scoop to confirm.

LMAO

Murmuring? It was a guy telling another guy.

Are you saying Schefter has a tap on Weatherman's phone?

I'm saying if there was a leak he'd use it like the HIPPA violation of JPP with his hand

I'll never understand it, but to each their own.

Guy called the shot. Contract was done for around what he said. Guy gets flamed for no reason.

Rinse and repeat.

It's good to see that Tribal is still a mouth breathing moron.

How did he know a guy told another guy? Does he know what my fiance and I tell each other in bed?

There is something mentally wrong with you.

Tribal does. He understands the psychology of all social situations. His dad also played QB for the YMCA flag football league so he could tell you the ins and outs of playing the position in the NFL.

He should have flashed these creds. I digress.

What would have been the reason to pay Houston prior to the deadline? There was zero benefit for the Chiefs. They managed to sign players they wanted, re-sign their own FAs.

Cap space. To sign free agents when there were still good players available. And how do you know they managed to sign all the players they wanted? How do you know they kept all the free agents they wanted? Every team would want to have a manning, suh etc, but they are forced to work with what they have. With another 8m in cap space who knows what would have happened.

It's really a shame.

No, he's just a dildo.

Are you people serious? Houston was expected to sign for around $100mil by everyone. Weatherman being close is not a sign of anything other than the fact that he read some articles and guesses on what Houston would get. He was off on both the guarantee and total contract worth. That's not "close"

Weatherman has trolled an entire message board before. He has no track record of being right. And he really wasn't THAT close.
Posted via Mobile Device

Still waiting on the press conference he promised BTW.
Posted via Mobile Device

Who cares. He is a Chief for a long time.

He announced this deal would take place before any media sources like PFT were saying that the Chiefs were resuming talks.

Up until that point we had no freakin clue if Dorsey was still making phone calls or if he just said, "**** it" and decided to take a vacation like Carl did.

I don't know anything about his track record.

But anyone saying it was an easy guess is completely talking out of their ass. Most on that thread predicted Houston would accept the tag and then plenty felt he'd be so pissed he'd be out of KC in 2 years.

Others in the thread predicted JJ Watt money was on the high end and that the chiefs would offer OLB money.

He went on the thread, predicted the contract would be done by Wednesday, and predicted close to JJ Watt money. Pretty bold prediction. And I can't believe people think being off by $3.5M is not considered a "close" guess

Predicting the contract would be done by Wednesday was't really a stretch. It was cut off day. It was either going to be done or he was tagged.

The discussion in this thread is matched in pointless stupidity only by the original concept of this thread.

He's the same guy who said we'd sign Manning. And then came here bragging about trolling arrowhead pride on that issue. He has nothing to lose if he's wrong.

It doesn't exactly take Nostradamus to predict a franchise player signing at the deadline. That's when they sign the vast majority of the time.

Whoa, he predicted that a franchise player would sign at the deadline for around the money he was asking for and deserved? Stop the presses!

LMAO

True dat.

We had the best offseason we've had in 20 years... planet gonna planet

No shit. We all wanted him to sign and think a Watt type deal is fair and that is what happened. Now they need to lock up Poe as he is just as important.
