Late night bullshit: the great Tamba Hali.
Most recently, Dane and BossChief have made impassioned arguments that they believe Hali is open to restructuring so that he remains a Chief this offseason.
I don't know how likely that is, as is the case with most of you, because of his cap number, the incoming payday for Mr. Houston, and the development of Dee Ford, who we spent a 1st on last year. Nonetheless, there's no question he's an invaluable part of the locker room and on field production, and he's a ****ing passrusher. One of the best this franchise has seen, which is saying something considering this franchise has reliably churned out excellent passrushers over the years. What percentage do you think it is likely that Hali stays a Chief this offseason? Poll forthcoming: |

He'll probably take a pay cut or something, since he appears to be on the decline.
A great Chiefs career, though. It's a crime that he won't win a championship. |
I think we need to try and get something reasonable in a trade. His replacement has been drafted.
|
i think he goes and chases a ring. Him and DJ will go to teams like the Packers, Patriots, Denver, etc for the last couple years to play with those QBs.
|
I would love for him to stay. Not likely, though.
|
I want him to retire with the Chiefs.
|
He's gone if he won't agree to a Suggs-like extension. The team is set up to replace him with Ford and if Ford fails, Martin is right behind him.
|
It will be nearly impossible to keep him
Unless we somehow restructure 2-3 big contracts, it seems nearly impossible based on the math. I hope I'm wrong but he is certainly on the downside of his career at this point. |

This is Hali's last contract before life after football. In my mind, he has to take the money. There are going to be teams out there that will throw more money at him than he's probably worth to get him to jump ship. If that happens, I wont blame him at all.
I think the only way he restructures to stay here is a playoff win. Some hard evidence that the team is moving forward, REALLY moving forward. I think if we win a playoff game, he would restructure and stay on. If we don't make the playoffs, or we're another one and done, he takes the payoff and leaves. The Houston deal is going to force Tamba Hali out in all likelihood. |

0 %. His money goes to Houston.

and on one of them he ran away from the ball carrier |
People like to say Hali is declining, and I agree, but only in the smallest ways. He led the league in overall pressures last year and has been wreaking havoc all year. He needs to be back. Dee Ford can suck it.
