Chiefs What do the Chiefs do w/ the extra cap space? - Page 14

CoMoChief · 07-16-2015, 08:58 AM

The Chiefs supposedly gain about $4-5M in cap space w/ the Justin Houston contract extension.

What do the Chiefs do w/ that extra cap allowance?

No thanks to Reggie Wayne. Too old.

One-year deal?
Could be valuable to have him provide an example for the young hopefuls.

It odd: Most people were late to realize the Cassel's $60 million was a waste, yet at the same time, defend Berry although he never single handedly won a single game.

Please explain.

Berry is like the expensive painting that a man buys for his children to paint over.

Berrys been an All-Pro player whereas Cassel was a fraud.

No thanks to Wayne or Jones. Too old. Mathis maybe. Makes most sense of the three.

Pretty much this.

And Dane, life happens. If Berry were healthy and playing today, could you not say that the defense is on its way to uber-elite?

Sean Taylor is a better comparison, IMO

Football is a team sport. There isn't a player alive or dead that has ever single handedly won a single game.

Mother****erJones · 07-18-2015, 08:08 AM

For the record, I'm not saying Berrys the greatest safety. But he isn't a problem nor a guy we should be complaining about money wise.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 07-18-2015, 08:11 AM

It's almost like, "we're so close, we could do this....but Berry".

Dumb.

Alex Smith is still the QB. #****-****-****ity-****ed.

**ChiefGator** · 07-18-2015, 08:32 AM

Berry is a top ten safety in this league. yeah, he was overpaid due to no fault of his own or the Chiefs.

We are, without a doubt, better with him on the field than off.

Mother****erJones · 07-18-2015, 08:37 AM

You wana bitch? Bitch about the oline that can't protect and the WR core that can't get open. Those are your two options.

milkman · 07-18-2015, 09:24 AM

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that the Lions converted Barry Sanders to FB after drafting him, and he performed in that role at a level equal to Tony Richardson.

His career would have been a major disappointment, even though he would have been one of the best FBs in the league, in spite of the fact that he was undersized for the position.

That is essentially what has happened with Berry.
He's listed as a safety, and we refer to him as a box safety, but for all intents and purposes, he has primarily been used as a LB.

He has done an outstanding job in that role, even though he is undersized for that role.
But he has/had the speed and athletic ability to be a difference maker playing over the top, and because of that, through no fault of his own, he has been a disappointment.
