Jaguars sign LB Damien Wilson

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Damien Wilson had 154 tackles in two seasons with the Chiefs. Played over 1,200 snaps. The Chiefs have hoped to add a linebacker this offseason, knowing a departure with Wilson was likely. https://t.co/mZj9n5KOhm

So far Chiefs related player activity for 2021 Free Agency -

Gained
OL Joe Thuney, Patriots $16,000,000 APY Signed by Kansas City.
DT Jarran Reed, Seahawks - Does not count because cut by Seattle.
TE Blake Bell, Cowboys – Does not count because cut by Dallas.
C Austin Blythe, Rams – Does not count because size of contract is under the minimum to qualify for comp.
OL Kyle Long – Does not count because he was retired
FB Michael Burton – Don’t know contract yet but probably below minimum to qualify.

Lost
RB Damien Williams, Chiefs - Does not count because cut by Kansas City. Signed by Bears for $1,500,000 so also probably would not be a comp pick because the low value of contract.
WR Sammy Watkins, Chiefs, Signed with Baltimore for 1 year, $5,000,000 APY
DE Tanoh Kpassagnon, Chiefs - $2,250,000 APY signed by the Saints.
LB – Damien Wilson, Chiefs – Signed by Jaguars but do not know contract yet.

Other Info
Right now even though the contracts are far less, I think the Sammy Watkins signing cancels out the Joe Thuney signing. Thuney would probably be a 3rd and Watkins might be a 5th or 6th.
This rule applies to this -



It is possible that the Tanoh Kpassagnon free agent signing by the Saints might net the Chiefs a very late round comp pick dependent on other signings and contract given in the NFL. Also if Damien Wilson’s contract is over a couple of million, he might qualify for a comp pick.

If signed elsewhere, Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz would not count for comp because they were cut by Chiefs.

KC signing their own players like Taco Charlton, Daniel Sorensen, Mike Remmers and others does not count in the comp formula.

Ideally for the Chiefs to get comp picks, Bashaud Breeland and Austin Reiter would sign elsewhere for at least over $3,000,000 APY, but that is still probably going to be low round comp pick.

All signings have to be before the 4:00 PM EDT, Monday following the NFL Draft to be counted in the Comp formula.

So the formula is a combination of good players lost, plus the money of the contract, plus how the player plays for that season.

Again a good place to read about comp pick formula is at - overthecap.com

We are probably slated to get a 6th snd 7th at this point. If Breeland and Reiter sign before the draft, we will probably get something like 2 7th rounds, a 6th snd a 5th.

From overthecap.com -
Damien Wilson 1 year $1,000,000 Base, $750,000 Prorated bonus, $150,000 per game roster bonus, $100,000 workout bonus, $1,000,000 guaranteed.

Cap number - $1,964,706 with $1,750,000 dead money if released.

https://overthecap.com/player/damien-wilson/3975/

Only 32 comp pick are awarded each year. This contract is probably not enough money for a actual comp pick to be awarded to the Chiefs.

Side Note - KC is now shown with effective cap space of $9,275,071 with 71 players signed.

Newer signings
Jarran Reed - $5,500,000 cap
Mike Remmers - $3,300,000 cap
Austin Blythe - $990,000 cap
Blake Bell - $987,500 cap
Joe Thuney - $4,500,000 cap
Daniel Sorensen - $1,212,500 cap

That’s how this works when you have the best player on planet Earth and he likes some white WR for some reason. I’ll live with it. 😄

I don't give a shit if Dieter is Mahomes' fluffer. We just gave him a contract for half a billion dollars. If Mahomes wants him around 24/7 then he can hire him as his personal servant.

We need to stop wasting roster spots on crap players and use them for development.

If the Chiefs really want a dynasty they better get serious.

They already ****ed up Mahomes' chance of being considered the best ever. Montana never lost a Super Bowl and Mahomes just lost head-to-head to ****face Brady. Mahomes will have to win several more Super Bowls than both to have a chance.

He's played 46 games so far. 3 AFC championship games, 2 super bowls, and won 1. So far. And you're concerned about a purely speculative and subjective popularity contest of being called the best ever? Who gives a shit if he's named the best ever or not. So far he's been the best we've ever had, and that's all that matters.
