The Chiefs’ rebuild is on in full force, apparently, as the club is expected to part ways with safety Ron Parker this offseason, sources told The Star on Monday.

The move is expected to create approximately $4.9 million in salary cap space in 2018 for the cash-strapped Chiefs, who are expected to have approximately $19 million in cap space when Parker is released and the trades of quarterback Alex Smith and cornerback Marcus Peters are made official next month.

The Chiefs will create an additional $6.6 million in cap space if outside linebacker Tamba Hali retires or is released.

Parker, 30, has been a steady constant in the Chiefs’ secondary since 2013, when he was claimed off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks. Since becoming a starter in 2014, he has recorded 40 pass defenses and seven interceptions and averaged 75 tackles per season.

I think they can definitely sign 1 or 2 impact FA for defense. They don't have to be All Pros but good productive starters.

Need a CB (obviously)

And DL help mostly.

I think they can reasonably replace him.

Yeah. At 7M.... deuces yo.

If Veach turns this defense around it will be a minor miracle.

Outside of Peters—yes.

I don’t think the defense will be worse statistically. I’d say it’ll be better by a decent bit. But the talking heads aren’t going to see the big picture. It’ll be labeled a rebuild even though really, the building was already in shambles.

Outside of Colquitt who isn’t exactly in the clear.. are we even going to have a single 30 year old on this team? Obviously this is before FA, but I can’t think of a single one

Lots of cap to play with. To bad we have the worst GM in the game running the show. Say what you will about Dorsey's contracts, and mind you some of them were bad. But it's a good thing he was still in charge when we traded with buffalo. If Veach had been running the show our next 5 first rounders and all the gates BBQ locations would now be in the hands of the Bills.

For the 1000th time this offseason......

Colquitt is a FA.

Schwartz is over 30 right?

Fair enough.

I actually think Pugs is right here....theres not a whole lot of room to go down.

Maybe we will get less picks or turnovers but I bet our yards allowed goes DOWN and if anything points per game allowed stay around the same (mid level)

**DaFace** · 02-26-2018, 04:01 PM

I guess I'm good with this one, but we're going to have to find DB's at some point this offseason with limited cap space with which to do so.

We really aren't "limited" a ton.

Right now we're at roughly $20 million. Cut Hali and we're at $28 million. Make Sorensen a June 1st cut and we're at almost $32 million.

We can get cap space.

If they cut enough dead weight, they will have some real flexibility between cap space (40'ish range) and draft picks.

****ing Great. Was a good find and filled an important role for 4 years, but he's done.
