I just posted that in another thread.

So.. repost.

the more public that information gets the more embarrassed Hunt will be

maybe he will encourage some spending

of course they can hide most of it but maybe they will make a splash

"The Chiefs do not have that problem. We have to think of it in terms of accountability. Chiefs can account for more money than any team in the NFL. Chiefs can give a 10 million dollar roster bonus to Carr, a 5 million dollar base, and guarantee the base salaries against injury the first two years. That guarantees the contract for a little over 20 million the first 2 years. Non guarantee the final 4 years of the contract and that's a 6 year 50 million dollar contract. If that isn't enough then add a 5 million dollar signing bonus. The Chiefs have the same years, length, and money invested, but the accounting would be different than most teams."

Why the **** doesnt this FO just do something like that with that much space, throw a bunch of money at him, and who gives a **** with so much cap space by year 3 his contract wont matter because it was all front loaded and Carr gets his money. Everyone wins.

Until now Cassel has been a more affordable version of Mark Sanchez. If we pay him the rest of the way we are even dumber than the Jets were

In 2012 the chiefs have to be 5% or closer to the max to roll anything over to 2013.Chiefs need to spend this offseason.

Wait a second?

Are you basically saying that the Chiefs have to spend $20M pretty much immediately or have to account for the $30M in rollover money THIS season?

If so, that's a pretty big reason for hope right there. Clark may or not be cheap but he's not stupid...

Yup if there not within 5% of the max they cant roll anything over in 2013.

I brought this exact point up a day or two ago.

It's not a matter of cheap or not, it's a matter of required spending regardless of the lacking cap floor.

I think it got glossed over because NLT too many people here get that much into it. I'd guess that less than 50 posters understand the ramifications of the new rules in relation to our upcoming christmas morning type spending.

The way I understood it, though...that 5% figure has to reached by YEARS END...not the start.

**The Franchise** · 02-14-2012, 04:05 PM

Then they should sign both Bowe and Carr.....and front load the shit out of their deals.

Do you have a link for this?

**dirk digler** · 02-14-2012, 04:30 PM

Hunt is quoted as saying they are using that roll over money for this year and next year.

Quote:

“The reason we chose to carry it over is because we anticipate needing it in 2012 and 2013. Both to continue signing our own free agents as well as being able to go out and sign some free agents from outside,” Hunt told 810 Sports just days before the Super Bowl.

Let's hope. I've become jaded enough to think that they're going to be 35-40 million under when the season starts, minus either Bowe or Carr. Hopefully I'm wrong.

But IF he ever does you know who will been seen as the God of the NFL. I wouldn't be surprised if Pioli is dreaming that way.
