#Chiefs Breaking News: Tyson Jackson redid his contract. He will remain with the Chiefs in 2013.


A day after the Chiefs kept their three top free agents; they kept the serviceable Tyson Jackson at a much reduced rate.

Jackson
The No. 3 pick of the 2009 draft was expected to be a prime candidate to be cut. His salary cap number was at more than $17 million and his base salary was at more than $14 million. Under this new deal, Jackson can make up to $5.2 million with a much more manageable salary-cap number. Jackson is still eligible to be a free agent in 2014.

He was showing some real pass-rush potential there at the end of last year /truefans.

Dammit!

hmm

God Damn Dorsey is kicking ass and taking names.

As long as the price is right, good. He came on last year, and I'd like to see a #3 overall pan out for us after all that we've already paid him.

Oh shut up. He can stay as a backup or stopgap starter, whatever.

Would prefer him as a backup.

Meh. Looking for 2 DE would've been a pain in the ass. Wonder what he costs now.

We can say this much, so far:

Just about every credible rumor that's surfaced since Reid/Dorsey took over has turned out to be true.

Filed under: meh

Waiting on the numbers

can he play QB tho

Yay?

Man, I hope he can have quarterbacks run into him for a couple of sacks next year. w00t

This.
