Kansas City remade its front office, its coaching staff and now it gets to work on its roster. One of the first of those significant moves came Tuesday, when the Chiefs cut veteran CB Patrick Surtain.

The move removed Surtain’s $7 million base salary off Kansas City’s books and instantly freed up $6.184 million that the Chiefs will now be able to spend on free agents and draft picks. The 32-year-old Surtain is not expected to be the last Chiefs player released before Friday. Veteran LB Donnie Edwards could also be in jeopardy, as he is scheduled to make $5 million in base salary. If he is released, it would free up another $4.5 million in salary-cap savings.

It’s the time of the year when the size of the free-agent pool grows by the day. It happened Tuesday in Kansas City, and it will happen again Wednesday and Thursday in other cities.

I pass no judgment. I merely point to the scriptures. No forgiveness is required.

Other than DE built a 4 million dollar home here in KC. Like many before him, they come and don't leave, even Trent Green mentioned coming back.

Hey, at the end of the day I'll always love Donnie Edwards. We couldn't afford that liability in any sense at this point though. Too much money, not enough results.

Yes the shitbag did quit on the Chiefs in the Broncos game at home when they made him the starter in 2007... **** Huard and all the fans that want to get all weapy eyes for him... He stoled money from this franchise and gave nothing in return...

Starting him cost us the 2007 season, we didnt know if we needed a QB or not, He went out and put up an epic pyle of fail...

Maybe all the fans that love players whom provide nothing to getting this team closer to a championship can leave with them...

But that's the Chiefs' dumb fault. Huard wasn't supposed to be a starter--every executive in the league said that. Why do you think nobody went after him? His job was to be a backup, and he was a very good one.
But in order for him to be at all effective, he had to have an offensive line. He is way too slow to function without one. It's the reason Palmer has sucked it up. It's the reason why Kurt Warner was pushed out of St. Louis. It's the reason Bledsoe looked good in some places and horrible in others. And let's be clear--the Chiefs' offensive line wasn't just bad, it was embarrassingly bad. Even in 2008, before they moved to the spread. Anyone who tells you otherwise is revising history.

And Huard didn't quit on the Chiefs. He was a 35-year-old QB who was sacked 36 times in 11 games in 2007 and probably hit and hurried on almost every play where he wasn't sacked. I've never seen a QB take that big of a beating in my life.

I don't understand why fans are so obsessed with shoving people on their way out. Huard wasn't supposed to be a savior. It's the Chiefs' fault for pretending like he was. He did everything he was supposed to, and that includes being the guinnea pig to play behind a horribly unprepared offensive line that knocked the living crap out of him game in, game out.

He wasn't scrambling, he was getting a running start to throw the deep out.

We'll have to think about Sanchez in the 4th.

Guess I'll go out side and pick solid gold apples from my golden apple tree, in my magical orchard, and then bop on over next door to the 24 hour weed/opium/Swedish ski-bunny store, and make a trade for goods and services.

Yes, that's what I'll do.

Does anyone think any of the guys released will play for someone else this year? (except Merrit, who gives a s__t about him anyway)

All these players will be collecting social security.

So now we have approx. $50mil of cap space to work with? That's working on half of the total cap.

But of course!

I have a feeling the Chiefs are going to make a splash when free agency opens.
