WR - Who do you keep?

[DenverChief]

Assuming all the WR expectations come to fruition, meaning Ross/Ross/James show out in camp/PS as expected

We know Toney, Moore, MVS and Rice are all locks - all things being equal who do you keep for the final 2 spots (assuming we only carry 6 WR) or would you push for 7 WRs and short another position such as RB or TE?

Remember this is all assuming that the above WRs all meet the expectations of the Chiefs

if I'm reading this right, and I like to think that I am, MVS is on this team unless traded. Weirdly, to cut him would cost 10M in dead cap and save less than $1M in cash.

HOWEVER.... A lot of that dead cap is actually a guaranteed salary for the year. If you traded him, the new team would take on his salary, and you're on the hook for the difference, which would save you a little over $9M on the cap.

I don't think it's likely, but trading MVS is absolutely on the table in terms of his contract numbers.

I'm not saying he is, I'd like to see him succeed. But 6'4" 226 lbs doesn't scream H-back, which was my point.

Cut the brokedick Justyn Ross.

I don't think I can handle another offseason of hype for this dude catching a 3 yard slant on video.

I’d keep 7 and drop Watson in that scenario.

Having too many WRs is a good thing.

You plan to keep them all, but things will happen to prevent that. Someone is going to be NOT available. We have several WRs that have had health concerns in the past. There will be at least one WR on IR sometime during the season.

If KC wants to keep Toney, MVS, Moore, Rice, James, Ross, Ross, and Watson on the opening season 53-man roster, they won't happen, but they will keep the best 6.

Odds would be Toney, MVS, Moore, Rice, James, and Watson, but if Justyn Ross or John Ross really shine, the Chiefs might try to trade one or two of their veteran WRs (MVS (save $9,000,000),James (save $940,000), or Watson (save $1,100,000))

this is what I'm thinking will happen. Unless one of the Ross's is absolutely dominating training camp and preseason. Then it would have to be Watson to get cut more than likely.

Cutting Richie James would cost $552,500 in dead money.

Cutting Justin Watson would cost $1,230,000 in dead money

Exactly, which is why neither gets cut.

Jim Hines 1970 Chiefs first man to break sub 10 second 100-meter sprint Mexico Olympics. Was wide open 5 yards all the time on the deep bomb. Lenny would lay right in his hands and he would Barnum and Bailey juggle it and drop. This is what these Ross's remind me of. Hard to really make any conclusion as we don't see what they are doing in OTA's.

The Chiefs wipe their ass with 1.2M and 500k...but I dont think either get cut.
