NFL sets 2021 salary cap at $182.5 million.

Going to be a lot of vets making much lower wages than they normally would for 2021.

Ouch for some vets

If I remember, Veach said we'd be fine as long as it was $185M. So I guess we're just a tad less than fine.

Extend Mathieu.
Restructure Mahomes, Jones, Kelce and Hill.
Lower first year cap hits on contracts longer than two years.
2022: Extend Hill. Cut Clark and Hitchens.

My understanding is that a lot of contracts will have voidable years to spread the cost for what is essentially 1-year deal. Once the TV contracts kick in all teams will be fine and able to cover any costs.

Their pretty close to okay though. Sausage's 1.5 mil coming off the cap for retirement gets them to 184 mil.

****ing owners are literal idiots.

I'm not worried about Brett Veach, the man who turned $177 in cap space into a half-billion for Mahomes and a big deal for #95.

Umm huh? We’re $20 million over right now.

Why wouldn't the owners borrow to make it flat?

Uhhhh Sherman was a FA

Puts the Chiefs in pretty good shape. Current cap with rollover becomes $188M and some change.

Restructure Mahomes roster bonus
Extend Mathieu
Restructure Kelce roster bonus

And you're already in good shape.

Want to play big in FA? Restructure some of Jones' bonus and extend Hill 3-4 years.

They can get to 30-35M in room rather easily, and without kicking the can on anyone that is outside the core star group.

Maybe more guys willing to take a cheap-ish 1 year deal in a good situation to get to next year where they can paid more?

Could be good for us?

I’ve said they should extend Hill for awhile now. It’s clear that he has zero contact with his baby momma and he now has a better and a stable gf (Kenny Vacarros sister). Veach do the right thing and make Hill a top 3 paid WR

I hope not. Having one high priced wr is a waste. You need a cast of good ones not one killing the other skill positions.

When you have a top 5 player at his position in the league, you pay him as such.

You'll never find two guys for the price of Hill that can do what Hill does. You don't just replace a Hopkins, Diggs, or Hill.

Hill was already Top 5 paid last year, trailing only Julio, Amari Cooper, Mike Evans and A.J. Green, who is now himself a FA. I'd say he's doing alright.

I'd be cautious about extending Hill too long, not because of the off the field stuff (that seems to have settled down), but because speed can drop off a cliff seemingly out of nowhere. Wait till after this year and see where things are at with Hill. And even then, I'd probably do a short term deal with him creeping up on 30 after this season.

They need to upgrade Hill’s pay. They can do that while also lowering his 2021 cap hit and giving him more guarantees (not much of it IS guaranteed right now. Most is in roster bonuses).

We will be fine cap wise. It just sucks that it rewards teams that are rebuilding. I just wish there was another way.

Chiefs are currently about 5 mill over.

PAY THAT POS!

You take care of Hill when it makes sense to do it.

If we need to do something now because it frees up money for this year, then by all means do it.

$20.3 million over the cap currently. Pretty easy to free money. Clark signing that roster bonus for Patrick would free up $17 million alone before doing anything else.

We could easily manage to get to around $25 million in space

I get that owners made less money because of covid. But let's be real, they're still making a shitload especially with gambling revenues. It just makes it a bitter pill to swallow. And it makes me wonder how many owners voted for this cap even though they could easily absorb the blow and it makes their team worse off, yet voted for it anyway.

There is no savings from Sherman's retirement.

He contract, like DRob's, were part of the Veteran's Exception last season so his contract didn't count toward the 51.

Actually we’re about 24 mil over. We have 206 mil dollars allocated to 2021 for our top 51

Where are you seeing that? Over the cap has us at $21 million over.

Clark has the highest cap hit for anyone on the chiefs roster this year of 25 mil

This is absolutely as stupid as stupid gets.

Hill is an amazing physical specimen. He has a very compact, muscular build and beside the fact that he's the fastest player in the NFL today, he's a fantastic route runner that can do things that no other NFL player can do.

Even if Hill loses a step after age 30, he'll still be among the fastest recievers in the league and will be so far advanced in terms of routes, scheme and versatility that unless he suffers a catastrophic injury, will be able to play at a super high level until at least age 35.

For ****'s Sake, Emmanuel Sanders is 34 and still playing at a high level and that dude is nowhere as fast or thick as Hill.

That’s the number of the cap for us. Not how much we have in cap liabilities.

It’s basically the $182.5 cap plus our carry over.

Their website says the Chiefs are over the cap by $20,984,019.00

https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/kansas-city-chiefs/

Correct, didn't I read we sit at like 192 something, or am I way off here?

Yeah, I'm way off.

The Chiefs are currently at $206 million and change.

Sure can. And without doing anything outside of this group:

Mahomes, Kelce, Hill, Jones, Mathieu

A lot of teams will be able to kick the can on players, but I'm not sure how many that are in trouble can do it with the players you want around long-term, anyway.

Extending Hill so he's on a 5-year deal has minimal risk as long as you can walk on the deal in year 4 or 5 if he falls off a cliff physically.

Restructuring Mahomes was part of the plan from Day 1 with that contract.

Jones? He's got 3 years left on this deal and no prorated salary currently. Stretching 15M of his 21 cap hit out over 3 years gives you 10M of dead money if you cut him after 21, but they aren't gonna do that.

Kelce? Again, no signing bonus on his recent re-do, so you can restructure his 21 roster bonus and free up 3/4 of that money for 21.

And Mathieu? He's the linchpin of the defense, and they always intended to either extend or cut bait headed in 2021 with him.

Expect us to get a 4th and a 5th

Didn't know that. Thanks for the correction.

As long as we don't do anything that extends Frank Clark's contract, I'm good with it.

I don't hate Clark, he's a decent player, but we're vastly overpaying him.

Disagree. He shows up in the playoffs. He’s fifth all time in postseason sacks too

Teams are expecting the NFL to announce this year’s compensatory picks today

Leave his contract alone and if he doesn’t show up next season....you make him a June 1st cut.

That’s literally been posted just a few posts up from yours.

I get 20 posts per page. I can’t see it on my last page, gotta go back one playa.

Up your posts per page, playa.

I just ignore redundant information....

Teams are expecting the NFL to announce this year’s compensatory picks today

Just thought you guys should know

Anyone know when compensatory picks are announced?

Rumor has it, today. Unconfirmed though. Maybe someone can weigh in.

I think I seen something earlier that it's going to be today but I can't confirm. That's just speculation I think.

Yep.

I’m still ****ing pissed nobody hired Bieniemy. We should have a ****ing extra 3rd this year damn it.

Bunch of assdouche suck teams who don’t know how to run a franchise.

Go take all your Brandon Staley ****faces and shove them up your mothers’ vaginas, ya bottom feeders.

And the Ravens got one for that shitty ass Culley hire.

The NFL compensatory picks have been announced. The #Chiefs are receiving a 4th round pick (selection number 145) and an additional 5th round pick (selection number 182)

That’s not bad.

Lotta holes to fill.

...yet turds like Dak want 40 plus million of it. What a damn joke.

And extended Kelce

You seem dumb.

Sammy Watkins doesn't show up until the playoffs and now Clark doesn't either?

They are paid too ****ing much to only impact a few games a season.

What was their alternative, genious?

Some of you guys act like Franchise & Hall of Fame QB's are available each and every year in the draft and/or free agency, which is CLEARLY false.

The Cowboys did what they needed to do, albeit, a year late, but they had no other choice. They have very good offensive skill position players, a decent but aging line and a defense that needs to be overhauled.

Plus, they play in the weakest division in all of the NFL, so signing, instead of Franchising, Dak was really their only option because they certainly aren't ready to burn the thing to the ground and start over.

My salary cap calculator says that the Chiefs are good... sign whoever you want Clark and Brett and Patrick and Andy

Again, WAY TO GO JERRY!! LMAOLMAO

What was their alternative, moron?

Well, they just need to draft a generational player like Patrick Mahomes. I mean, there are several in every draft. Paying any other QB is just dumb.

Oh I don't know, maybe pay him 30 mil a year like he asked before he had a major injury, but let Jerry be Jerry.....moron.

:facepalm:

Why do you even ****ing care about Dak's salary?

Closet Cowboys fan?

I would ask you the same?? I just find it funny is all. Jerry being Jerry. Nothing more, nothing less, unless you want to make it something more? :hmmm:

Absolutely clueless yet again

Ah yes, it's this phase of the offseason already.

Why didn't they actually do the opposite of what I thought they should do a year ago.

Dak Prescott reportedly turned down $30 million per year offer, wants $40 million annually

When did he ask for $30 mil a year? Notice the date of that article?

LMAO

All you do is bitch, bitch, bitch.

You don't offer a SINGLE solution or alternative to ANY discussion, you just act like a Know-It-All **** who absolutely knows NOTHING.

You need to visit a gyno to fix that stretched out bloody **** that's been bleeding in every forum today.

People that don't know ****ing dick about the NFL bitch about some player's salary on CP.

What else is new?

You're such a ****ing **** that you couldn't even answer the question.

Instead, just downvoted, as usual, because all you do is BITCH and WHINE and act like you've got a ****ing cinder block stuck in your ****.

You need to get that ****ing thing checked.

So what’s the cap going to be next year? 210m?

Well, to be fair after reading that article, one of the biggest points was that he hadn't missed a single game, which while true at the time, is obviously not true now. But whatever, not my money, Jerry waited it out and made a good business decision.

IIRC, that was after Wilson and Wentz signed new deals that reset the market. I really can't see where Jerry and Stephen Jones ****ed up too badly here now that I see Wilson was asking 40 million all the way back in the 2019 off season.

I guess you could say even signing Dak to a big money deal in the first place but there's really not very many realistic options and all that talent on offense needs to be utilized while it's still relatively young.

Exactly. They can't start over now at the QB position.
