I'm not sure I understand the huge uproar. I get it, it's a steep price for the one year.
But in the end, it changes really nothing with the 2018 cap and past that. Even if you are sitting there worried about the cap rollover, we are still just a few moves away from having ample cap space next offseason. There are several players that the Chiefs will be able to move on from next spring if they deem it necessary and they will be in fine shape with the cap.
From everything I've read, we might have signed one of the best interior run defenders in the whole league for this year. He'll have his chance to earn a bigger contract. Who's to say this isn't just the guy we need right now? Poe sure wasn't cutting it last year.
Anyone who knows football knows that you have to 'stop the run to have some fun'. Everyone on this board knows that this team's success against great teams will be highly dependent on its pass rush, and it didn't get near enough opportunities to get after QBs last year because of its poor run defense. Specifically against Pittsburgh.
