This is such a big win for the team, by the way.
The help Okafor's restructuring gives us for 2020 is solid, but it completely lops off his cap hit in 2021, when we need it the most. Okafor wasn't going to play for us in 2021 anyway, we were going to have to cut him. Now he gets to walk as a free agent, and we get a potential 2022 compensatory pick out of it if he signs a decent deal. 2021 is still going to be very tight, but at least it's more scalable now. You can cut/trade Eric Fisher and restructure a few players and get the space you need. |

Logan Ryan and an extension or two?
Fisher/Schwartz/Kelce/Mathieu all viable extension candidates. Many of whom could've fit under the cap this year with an extension but Veach may be loading up on flexibility in order to approach ALL of them and not end up having to take any offers off the table if he gets unexpected traction across the board. I dunno - could just be basic bookkeeping measures designed to create additional rollover room for next season's potential cap contraction. But I think veteran CB is still a need.

There’s nothing lost by signing it this year that can’t be recaptured through structure in the following years.

We should extend Ward ASAFP before he plays with, ya know, eyesight this year and blows up.
He and Mecole are my picks to go off this season.

But ultimately it’s moot as I do not believe he’s presently extension eligible. Otherwise I’d be completely in favor of it.

That is, of course, assuming that the Chiefs think Ward has the potential to be a pretty good starting CB, not just a "eh, he'll get the job done" type guy like he was last year. If they're still not sure about his development and potential, they should probably just let it ride and then let him walk for a comp pick. |

Man I'm just not seeing it. Ward was our best CB last season, IMO. And by a pretty fair measure. Breeland was getting beat quite a damn bit. He wasn't getting beat big all that often, but he was routinely giving away more space than Ward. To my eyes, Ward played at a 'we really want to get this kid extended before he really breaks through to a genuine #1' type of level where it was Breeland who played at a 'eh, he'll do the job' level. I really like what I saw out of Ward last year and if he's extension eligible (though again, I don't believe he is), I'd gladly flip him a deal that tacks 3 years onto the remaining 2 seasons of control we have. I think he's going to be a very good player, if he isn't already.

I haven't read the entire CBA and have no idea if that's still accurate but I'd imagine that the Chiefs would want to lock him up in a reasonable deal as soon as he's eligible. |
