All of these potential signees, but where's the $$$$$$????
 

I'm just as guilty of it as the next guy, but with all these proposed trades/acquisitions, how the hell are we gonna come up with the money to pay all of them. I thought we were already over the cap for the 2006 season. Is that not true? I just don't see how we can feasibly (or financially) take on TO, Aberham, a DT, etc. Somebody show me the light.

I highly doubt we get TO and if the Jets are trading Abraham we won't be getting him either.......

We are over the cap. WAY OVER. But theres still cuts to be made and players that will be asking to take a paycut.

"SHOW ME THE MONEY!"

restructuring and cuts will mean we're fine. may not be able to go overboard on the market, but we could afford to make a deal happen should it present itself.

It's simple if there's no CBA by 3/9 we just restructure to put $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ in 2007 when there's no cap.

Of course if you do that then a CBA is agreed to, you just hosed yourself.

I don't really worry about it. It's Lamar's money, not mine.

We ARE NOT OVER THE CAP.

For one thing, the 2006 cap ISN'T EVEN IN EFFECT YET. It's still 2005 in the NFL.

I wouldn't worry about it just yet. The team we're chasing in the division (for now) has more money invested in current players than we do, meaning they're gonna have to make just as many, if not more cuts to key players, and/or [puts them in just as unlikely a position to sign expensive players.

The good thing is that we have a lot of players making $2million and upwards (in some cases, way upwards) that aren't worth a damn, like backup safeties, backup linebackers and craphole DEs. They should be easily cut. We don't have any bigtime guys to cut (like Tennessee did) to get in a reasonable shape. The only guy of REAL significance who may be cut (if not restructured), and even then it's a small possibility, is Priest, and with Larry running the rock, it's not as big a deal.

Those backup safeties and craphole DE's may SEEM easy to cut, but they won't be. For some reason, this front office thinks guys like that are the core of our team.

People who I see getting cut or restructuring...

Priest Holmes
Jerome Woods
William Bartee
Dexter McCleon
Shawn Barber
Kendrell Bell
Tony Gonzalez - I thought CP was gonna re-do his deal sometime soon.
Maybe Eric Warfield I dunno.


Personally I would like to see everyone on this list get cut with the exception of 4 people, Priest, Bell, TonyG, and Warfield.

I really hope the cap doesn't go away. I like a competitive NFL. If the chiefs end up like the Royals of late...I WILL kill someone.

Exactly...

BTW - my guess is a strike during the next labor neg. Football players are going to want what bb players have.

My guess is they get it. There is too much money to be lost by the owners if a strike comes.

The Royals, imo, lose money because the Walmart model does not work in baseball. You put a quality product on the field and it will pay for itself.

Hell, even the Twins are managed better than the Royals.

Thanks in large part to Dick Vermeil and his loyalty.

Expect Herm to cut ties with the overpaid trash.
