What good teams are you talking about?

The good teams build almost exclusively through the draft.

Indy
Pittsburgh
Giants
Baltimore

I can't think of a single GOOD team that uses FA as a major resource of player aquisition.

Wayyyy more times than not, FA signings end up as straight up fools gold.

So, you think we won spend money this offseason and will just forfeit cash?

The cap floor isn't in place, but teams do have to spend the cash.

Also, if we don't make strides at getting close to the cap floor amount this year, we are gonna be forced to just forfeit cash next year or be forced to sign some unrealistic deals in a market with less talent available than this year which should have one of the better FA classes in quite some time due to lacking action last year...similar to the reasoning for the strong draft class of 2010.

So first because i'm open to using Bowe to help improve the team, i'm not a fan of Bowe.

Now because i don't believe that the rest of the team 'doesn't matter' i'm a Cassel guy.

You have the intellectual range of a tree frog.

O.city · 02-10-2012, 09:16 PM

I didn't say you weren't a bowe fan, I asked you if you weren't.

And you really think we can win with Cassel? I don't think there will be another SB won without said team having a franchise quarterback.

that's just it, you assumed i didn't like him because i was opened to the idea of trading him if it would improve the team

I didn't say anything about Cassel, another one of your assumptions.

O.city · 02-10-2012, 09:21 PM

I never assumed anything. I asked you a question.

If we have to trade Bowe to get better, fine. I don't like the idea of trading the best wr the Chiefs have had in forever, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Mr_Tomahawk · 02-10-2012, 09:23 PM

This thread is pretty much pointless for those thinking we have to spend it.

The minimum salary floor we must hit doesn't go into effect until next season (2013-14) correct?

O.city · 02-10-2012, 09:24 PM

No but if we don't spend it this year, we are going to have to next year on guys not near as good as Bowe and Carr, or even Soliai and Grubbs.

I don't see a question mark ... looks like a statement.

O.city · 02-10-2012, 09:25 PM

I also agree with you Laz that a franchise qb doesn't equal SB.

I want the Chiefs to build a complete team. I think letting Carr and Bowe walk just prolong the time it will take to do that.

My statement about that was a sarcastic remark to you saying something to whoever made the previous post.

I never assumed you didn't like Bowe, I asked you if you didn't.

we don't have to spend a single cent this year.

we haven't seemed compelled to spend since Clark Hunt took over.

Under Lamar and Carl at least we wasted a bunch of money. Clark/Pioli isn't even trying hard enough to waste it.

once again ... Lamar must of approves of Carl's money making ways or he wouldn't of kept his job for 20 years. Clark must approve of Pioli or it would change.

My apologies.

You guys will definitely resign Bowe and Carr. If pee-oh-lee lets those two walk while your team is $60+million under the cap, then he should be run out of town.

You're right.

We can just tag Bowe and let Carr walk and sign nobody.

Then, next year we can be 60 million under the cap again and at least 45 million short of the mandatory cap floor.

We'll just sign 45 million dollars worth of players then...in what shouldn't be anywhere near as good of a free agent class.

Does that seem realistic to ANYONE?

We are gonna spend some money THIS YEAR.
