I'd bet he's gone. Some team with loads of cap room might try to make him the highest paid kicker or some shit.

You better hope that doesn't happen.

McManus received an 2nd round tender as well... I think that's the path you take with kickers in today's salar cap era. Puts his # for 2017 around $2.7M, nice bump from $600k.

Well they put an original round tender on him, and he was an UDFA. So the Chiefs get nothing in return if he departs, basically making him a FA where the Chiefs have first refusal.

I think Santos will be gone.

Wonder what they've set as their bar to match. The top 11 kickers make $2m.
