A few weeks ago, all anyone could talk about was how much cap hell we were in. When it looked like the CBA wouldn't get done, we were told that massive cuts were coming, including some big names. Now here we are, with no CBA, and Peterson has worked the team under the cap, keeping the team largely intact minus some losers that needed to go anyway.

And now, if we do get a CBA done, the Chiefs will have all the extra money that was added to the cap to use in free agency.

We should be applauding what Peterson pulled off.

I wouldn't expect that to fly here.

Carl = Satan

I was listening to Rhonda Moss this morning and she played some clips from Peterson this morning. The reason he isn't talking is because the deals ARE NOT DONE YET.

The guys that have been cut (Barber, McCleon, Warfield, and Stills) are still cut, but they are the only ones that will be cut. There have been several contracts have been redone but they haven't yet sent them to the NFL office because the CBA deal affects whether or not they need to do what has been done in the new contracts.
