Someone would cough up something for Fasano I bet, he's not some total scrub and can help a TE needy team.
He's the definition of "lunch pail", someone out there needs that guy. |

Hell, I'd seriously rather just throw Murray out there if it came down to it... he's had the requisite year to learn the game and get stronger. |

The Alex Smith albatross of a contract is a fireable offense.
The choice is simple. Do you want to allocate against the salary cap: 15.6 million in 2015, 17.8 million in 2016 and a minimum of 7.2 million in 2017? Or Do you want to trade him and take a 14.4 million hit in 2015 and be out from under the contract? Or If you can't trade him, do you take 14.4 million in 2015 and 10.8 million in 2016 to be rid of him by way of cut? Choose wisely. |

I'd trade Smith for a 2016 second or even third round pick to any takers, but absolutely not a player for player deal, because theres no one out there I want... if we ditch Smith, then its Murray-time FTW as far as I'm concerned. |

Also, in your scenario, you're assuming that we sign guys like Hudson and Houston to contracts where we take a significant year 1 cap hit.
Here's the easy solution. Sign Houston, Hudson, and whomever they bring in to a long-term deal. There are ways to structure Houston's contract so that you can: 1) minimize his base salary in year 1; 2) delay the signing bonus cap hit to year 2 or 3. You scenario assumes we take almost a $16M haircut in 2015 in a year where we don't have cap space. I don't agree with anyone who claims teams can "cheat the cap." However, the Chiefs' long-term cap situation is one where they have flexibility to move money around in ways that weren't smart to do this season. |
