Per Terez... 1 year deal

Baker's a better, more versatile player than Logan and his deal is worth a fraction of Logans. If the Redskins cut Baker next season, they'll have paid him $6 million for 1 season. If he shows to be worth it, they'll get him next year for another $4.8 million and if he's still productive, a season after that at $4.8 million.

That's the benefit of long-term contracts; there's actual upside built in. At the absolute worst, the Redskins are out less than the Chiefs are on Logan for a guy that was more productive than Logan last year. And at best they get 3 years of a guy that was good against the run and the pass last year for an AAV about 2/3 as much as we got for a pure run-stuffer.

Why the hell are we giving a guy $8 million to 'restore his value'? Jesus Christ, if his value isn't $8 million, exactly what the hell is it?

I don't know. Im trying to wrap my head around it.

Looking at the Giants for example and how big of a different snack made there. Maybe the chiefs see Logan as doing that here. But if that's the case, a 1 year deal is weird.

I don't know. Looks bad.

Then you don't sign him to a 1 year deal.

The guy should've been gone TWO seasons ago. He's just a goddamn punter. Daniel should've been gone last year but Reid was terrified of having to use a backup. I mean just look at all the money that's been torched, not just on injured guys but on surperflous luxury players like Chase Daniel and Dustin Colquitt.

People grouse about the Chiefs waiting too long to sign Houston or Berry but that's not even the biggest problem, the problem is that they're going to be lugging around tens of millions in cap space that could've been offset by rollovers created through moving on from guys who simply aren't worth their production and were kept on the roster out of pure fear.

It's a good way to end up with a .500 ballclub in short order.

Pretty clear the priority is to all but insure KC doesn't crash below 8-8 from season to season.

"HOW DOES BILL BELICHICK DO IT YEAR AFTER YEAR!?!?!?!"

{looks for $10 million in punters and backup QBs on roster....sees none}

Oh.

I've never understood the need for an expensive backup. If your qb goes down, you're ****ed anywah

Unless you're the Pats. Then you trade them for picks the next offseason.

Unless you're the Colts.

And then your backups sucking shit get you Andrew Luck.

I was pretty glad we got him. I just hope the numbers are wrong. That would be the correct money if it was a two year deal instead of one.

Gruden once asked Tom Moore why Peyton's backups didn't get more reps 'Fellas, if 18 goes down we're ****ed, and we don't practice ****ed.'

They have to be wrong... KC couldn't even afford that contract. I think Rap's fax machine is broken and it's supposed to be 3 million with 1.68 guaranteed, but that'd make sense.

Dude relax. They aren't politicians and this is still CP I hope. A sense of humor and thick skin is still ideal.

Are you seriously saying that staying loyal to 1 team no matter what is a CP thing? I would venture to say that almost all of the adult sports fans in the world believe in this.

Huh? Chris Jones is their best DL. Why would the Chiefs seeing him as the sub nickel pass rusher make this deal make any more or less sense than it does now?

They made this deal because they obviously had a hole in their defense with Poe's departure and they needed a way to shore up the run defense from last season. We may think that the financials don't make sense, but I'm willing to trust that Dorsey knows more about what's going on than a bunch of keyboard GMs on ChiefsPlanet.

[O.city]

Jones tends to get pushed around vs the run. Hopefully a full offseason in the system gets that figured out.

[Mav]

Exactly what the Chiefs needed. A run stuffing interior lineman.
