Pick The 8 Players KC Will Cut This Offseason

kccrow · 01-04-2015, 01:44 PM

I'm going to be doing a new mock up with who KC retains, who they cut, and who they sign with whatever money I end up with. You pick who they retain and who they cut from my polls. Pick 8 of the 16 players KC should cut to make cap space in 2015... I'll use the top vote getters. I'll worry about any re-structures that might need to be made for those retained.

Its hard to cut Allen when you look at our guard situation. Really sucks to have to cut Berry considering his situation, I wish I knew all the options available to the team.

They can outright cut. They can stash him on a non-football illness list that allows them to designate what rate they want to pay him, either nothing or some percentage of his total rate that will go against the cap. When the Browns Dezmond Bryant had a heart condition, they paid him 75% of his salary.

John Dope · 01-04-2015, 07:13 PM

That was tough! I really don't think they will cut Berry unless they are 100% sure he is done. I don't think Dorsey would do it and I don't think Clark would allow it. Plus, if you do that, you piss all the players off. You also piss players from around the league off. Imo we are still trying to repair our image that was damaged in the Pioli era imo. They gotta be careful about how they handle Berry.

A few ideas: Berry can go back on the NFI list and his contract doesn't count against the cap. Bowe, DJ and Devito are restructure candidates. Stephenson will be cut for sure. Hali and Avery will be cut. Daniel and Mays should be cut.

edit: All that said, I didn't vote in the poll.

I'd like someone to name ONE valid, logical reason that Chase Daniel should be cut, especially if the Chiefs are gaining significant cap space by cutting Avery, Fasano, DeVito, Bowe, Hali, Mays and putting Berry on the NFI.

We completely agree on Chase. They won't cut him. It won't happen.

One valid reason? How about he's not that good and there's no logical reason to believe that he brings more to the team than someone like Murray, Bray, or any rookie QB the Chiefs might draft/sign.

Right. He's no better than Bray.

Good grief.

He sure lit shit up against SD.

Not sure how anyone could be asked to throw for 157 yards and no TDs. That's like a ****ing mountain to climb!

This guy has 2 ****ing starts in his career and people defend him like he's an ace in the hole.

On two days practice.

Bray would have fumbled, thrown multiple interceptions and walked off the field each time with his mouth wide open, looking like a deer in the headlights. Just like preseason.

The Chiefs aren't cutting Daniel.

Defend him? No. Best backup on the roster? Yes.

Do you even watch NFL games? How many QB's are knocked out for significant time or lost for the season? Do you honestly believe that Clark Hunt, Andy Reid and John Dorsey would be so foolish to rely on an undrafted free agent that hasn't proven anything when he's played, to be their backup?

Because he broke his neck sky diving. That would be a logical reason.

I'm in no way saying I support it, I'm not fighting it either though..... He's an overpaid back up. Take your pick, smith or Daniel.

There's no reason to cut Allen until after training camp at the earliest. He's better depth than the guys that replaced him this year.
