LNBS-Looking at the 2018 Salary Cap

[RunKC]

Holy shit what a mess. Here are the top 25 paid players, basically everyone with a cap hit of $1 million plus:



Couple of things stand out here:

-Tamba is gone.
-No way in hell is DJ playing for $10.25 million.
-Dee Ford has no dead money unless his back is ****ed.
-No way should Allen Bailey play for an $8 million cap hit.
-Ron Parker’s value deal is over. $7 million cap hit is way too high for him.
-Revis will be decided in March. Doubt he’s back.
-Dirty Dan is $4.8 million to our cap. Holy shit.

There should be some cuts/restructures coming. I think we might see a lot of new faces on defense next year.

The Chiefs are in a unique position that should allow them to really hone in on defenders during the draft and FA. That should make it easier on them.

Yup, the bare bones essential on offense is LG

Of course we'd like an upgraded #2 tight end, and better receivers, but ultimately... Mahomes can do work with what we already have, just draft/spend like hell on this defense

I’d go all in on Nowell. An interior with Nowell/Fulton/LDT would be bad ass.

No more fail on 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1.

I’m tired of that shit.

Dumbass play calling doesn't help. IE an option play on 3rd and 1

[pugsnotdrugs19]

It's clear that both of our lines need work getting nastier at the LOS. Norwell might be a great idea if it'll make that unit really good, and there's a good chance that he would.

Sign him, get a couple other guys and load up on D for the draft.

I agree. But in that case, it looked like a dumbass audible.

The Chiefs have been absolutely terrible in the Red Zone, on 4th & 1 and 3rd & 1 for years.

They need a ****ing REAL left guard, not old ****s or late rounders.

A real, bonafide, mother****ing stud left guard.

At $7M, Parker is expendable. Not like we're sitting on a mountain of money. We need to get tougher and more physical up-front, and get a better pass rush. We're talking about a pretty average player who plays a position of low positional value when it comes to the draft.

No, he's not.

JFC.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

This team isn't near deep enough at safety to consider cutting Parker right now.

I'm as big of an Oline homer that there is and yet guard hasn't really been on my radar. Perhaps its because we have Ehinger, Witzmann, and even Cam Erving. But I think you are absolutley right, not only does this team improve drastically with a legit FA guard, but you build some decent depth while yours at it.

I think the real question is what then do you do at center? Let Fulton walk? With Morse heading in to his final year? That's a little risky.

Sign Andrew Norwell to be your starting left guard for the next 5 years, re-sign Fulton to a 4 year deal and let Morse play through his contract.

Morse isn't a mauler and he's had issues staying healthy. I'd rather see Fulton the starter and Morse as the Interior Swing guy in 2018.

Fulton is as dependable as it gets and that means a lot.

I think thats right. Not sexy, some fans will bitch, but that's exactly what you do with a young QB and NFL rushing leader. Hopefully Fulton is a deal.

We cut Parker then Sorenson replaces him and Murray replaces Sorenson. One of the safeties goes down then we've got..... McQuay? Reaser? playing 80+% of snaps.

Terrible. We free up enough space by trading Alex and cutting DJ and Hali. We just can't afford to replace our third best DB right now.

If you don't create a new thread for this.....then I will.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I really don't know how I feel about keeping Revis for what will be somewhere around a $10M cap hit. He's not worth that, and this defense needs more corners who are willing tacklers IMO, which we know he isn't.

Other than that the article was pretty solid.
