Chiefs Chiefs could be stacked for next offseason. - Page 9

Direckshun · 03-12-2014, 10:24 AM

I'm anticipating several things here:

1. The Chiefs are only shopping in the bargain bin this offseason, and thus should bring in 4 compensatory picks next year (my guess: a 3rd, two 4ths, and a 5th).

2. The Chiefs could open up cap space for next year by releasing Tamba Hali, Brandon Flowers, and Sean Smith.

If the Chiefs do bring in 4 compensatory picks, they will have 11 picks, 9 picks in the first 5 rounds in 2015.

If the Chiefs do cut those players, which I reckon they might, that would open up about $24m in cap space. On top of the $24m they're already projected to have (pre-Alex Smith and pre-Justin Houston extensions which will take up cap space, and pre-Eric Berry extension, which will free some up), that'll leave the Chiefs with $48m in cap space in 2015.

That should be enough to account for extensions for Smith and Houston, and still have over $30m left over for tons of free agent signings if they so desire, and tons of draft picks to either (a.) trade for talent, or (b.) bring in great talent in the Draft.

Just some food for thought.

They're not cutting two ****ing starting corners to save a little who are they gonna sign that's that much better to account for a new contract and the cap hit.

so what are our options and filling the gigantic void at RG next season?

a) Rookie, (cue Zack Martin jokes) whether a first rounder, 3rd, 4th, 5th.

so another season of a rookie olineman alligator arming defenders coming in clean on Alex Smith. Just when I thought we got through this with Eric Fisher last year, the circle repeats itself

b) Rishaw Johnson/Eric Kush rotational experiments - Always a good thing when you are putting all your chips in on an undrafted player or a 5th round draft pick from a DII school with little to no experience. This isn't a huge gamble or anything with no insurance policy if they fail.

c) Some cheap slapdick 30+ year old veteran - Probably lacking in strength but makes up for in experience, similar to our Ryan Lilja years aka back to square one of mediocrity.

there's your options to replace Schwartz. None of them are that attractive.

Every year we're maybe going to be stacked next year.

d) Put Kush at center and move Hudson to RG

Hudson will be on the last year of his contract. 2015....the same as 2014.

Respect the process.

I'd have no problem signing Richie Incognito.

I'd welcome it.

We're not that far away. If they piss it away due to numbers, I swear I will not go to a game this season unless it's a free ticket.

Post a thread in the tickets forum now, by November you should get your tickets.

I know some will scoff at this, but the guy would bring a tough nastiness to the OL and regardless of his perception, he would also bring some leadership as well.

Plus, he will be cheap and could step right in and play right away.

The only concern I'd have would be the distraction he would bring with him because of the media attention.

yea but this why you pay Andy Reid the big bucks, he, unlike that awkward weirdo Philbin in Miami, can handle that kind of media attention/distraction. He did it for a decade in Philly, multiple times with multiple players.

Any good CFL guards out there to be had?

And he could toughen up Eric Fisher.
