I’d keep him over Jones. Jones is a one trick pony and his replacement (Pennel) is better and cheaper. Tag and trade

I think he is worth it.

If we end up losing Fuller, Breeland, Watkins, and DRob, that is tough. Especially if we aren't getting picks in return or it doesn't create enough cap for replacements.

We can draft there, but we need players we know we can count on. We won't want to rely on rookies that heavily.

When you have a franchise QB. Players will want to come to KC. Not like years past where game managers killed everyone’s hope.

This is what I'm hoping for. I hope there are some good vets willing to come here on a discount.

Is there a way we can cut Hitchens and Fisher and save $$? If so, i’d start there.

Who are you putting in Fisher's spot? All of their losses this season happened with him on the sideline with injury. Undefeated with him in the lineup.

Ha, exactly. People act like LT's grow on trees. We saw the product when Fisher was out and it wasn't pretty.

Is he the best LT in the game?.... No. But he's definitely top half. Our bigger need on the OL is not the tackle spot, it's improving the interior.

Fortunately, that can be done more cheaply, or in the draft.

We could always draft Hakeem Adeniji from Kansas late to be the back up swing tackle. He’s a good athlete with good size and extremely durable. Maybe he can start someday. We could definitely use better tackle depth though...we saw that this year.

That has more to do with Cameron Erving being a terrible player than Fisher being a good one. I don't think replacing his very average production for far cheaper is as difficult as perceived in this thread, I think Ervings play this year has just traumatized our fanbase into thinking Fisher is the only way.

but if there aren't net saving with the dead money then it's not a realistic scenario.

Nope. Veach restructured both of their contracts

Yeah lets leave the blind side open to career injury to our 50 million a year QB. After all elite LT's grow on trees. Fish is getting older sure but he isn't out to pasture yet. Who do we have to replace on our roster?

Watkins is the worst we can cut and save the most at 14 mil

LDT we would save about 5 mil

Kelce we can save 10 mil.

That’s it

[VAGOMO 4 LIFE!]

We’re still paying Berry 8 mil this season

[bringbackmarty]

Jones is most definitely coming back on a fat backloaded deal with signifcicant performance escalators and a decent bonus the first couple of years, If they do mahomes early - jones gets the tag. My prediction, we sign Jones to a five year deal worth 70 mil guaranteed, if he makes it to year five and collects all the bonuses its worth close to $130,000,000. We get to the next cba and sign Mahomes for an 7 year 40+ mil a year contract worth over 300 million dollars with incentives - more than half of which is guaranteed. It's too much money for a goddamned superbowl championship. We pay these guys too much money to play a stupid game, all that money could be going to cure cancer, fix the environment, feed people who don't have enough to eat, help those with mental illness, explore space, fix the roads, the schools or grow food. When it comes to this football shit, we are being pretty ****ing stupid. Maybe now that we won one we as chief consumers should demand lower prices for our fandom and the nfl investing in the health safety and future of the country instead of the pockets of guys who can play football good for a few years. I love the sport, I love our team, but I love America and all of her people more. These contracts, the idiotic speeches, all this other bullshit can go **** itself.
