I think that comment is a little premature. It depends on what they do the rest of the offseason. If they acquire a high calibre wide receiver to pair with Bowe, it's actually an upgrade from Gonzalez, and if they field a third receiver of any quality, it's the strongest receiving corps they've had here in years. People seem to be thinking for some reason it's just dump gonzalez and go on with what we have, and we don't know that's the case...

The bigger issue is what they do with the offensive line.

Pissing him off isn't the point, wasting the 1st rounder we traded for is.

I guess they had "track records" too.

What are Staffords or Sanchez's ****ing track records? They weren't even household names in college? It was only the January thru April hype that made them become these suddenly great qbs.

My understanding of contracts and the salary cap is very weak.

Does the guaranteed money get paid over the entire course of the contract or can they pay it all in one year?

I'm wondering if a majority of the contract will be paid this year - when there is a large pool of available money.

With the 3rd pick the Kansas City Chiefs select Eugene Monroe OT University of Virginia.

They might be letting teams know that they can move up and get Sanchez before Seattle takes him at 4.

I think anybody who believed they acquired Cassel just to flip him was spending a few weeks in fantasyland. Nobody should be surprised by this.

ILChief · 04-25-2009, 12:47 PM

lots of chicken littles in here. Everyone wanted Carl gone (me included) and we get who was widely considered the best possible GM candidate and now everyone second guesses him like they know more than he does. I have faith in the new regime. If they think Cassel is the man, who am I to disagree. I'm fine with Jackson, Curry, Monroe, Crabtree or whoever they think is the best player for the team.

Now, if Pioli is here 20 years and never makes the Super Bowl I will question his decision making. But I'm going to defer to his decisions as I'm sure he knows more than I ever will about player evaluation.

Go Chiefs!

guaranteed money usually has a big hunk in the 1st year with the signing bonus and then has some kind of guaranteed bonus each year for awhile.
