Chiefs Salary Cap cuts - Hitchens and LDT - Page 5

chop · 02-27-2020, 08:08 AM

I was looking at the Chief's salary cap situation at overthecap.com and noticed that if the Chiefs cut LDT and Hitchens this year they only gain about 4m in cap space this year but they gain 20m next year. Also, I noticed that if they keep Hitchens this year and cut him next year, they only get a 2m increase in the cap next year. Will the Chiefs take the cap hit this year on Hitchens? Would you cut both this year?

About $15.5 million for these guys before Sammy Watkins is restructured or cut. All those guys can be replaced

I’m not moving on from Sorenson or Reiter.

Both of those guys have been really good in the postseason.

Thread title is clickbait-false impression they WERE cut.

It's just your opinion....

For me it depends on whether we can grab Ruiz in the first round or very high second round in some trade. This coaching staff did a great job, therefore I would still cut Hitchens, and LDT and take a few risks elsewhere. I will not object to tag and trade Jones. I can't believe I'm saying this, but we probably should allow Sorenson to play out his contract. I'm willing to let some people go in order to hang onto Sammy for a few years and just get younger, and cheaper where we can. It's going to be easier to win again NOW than to win a year after this upcoming draft. The AFC is going to be one hell of a dog fight after this draft. Serious new talent is coming to AFC teams through this draft. The NFL is going to be a thrill ride for awhile.

Everybody else seemed to have it figured out. Just saying.

I thought that Reiter was the real problem with the OL that made both G look worse than they actually were.

Reiter and Wylie are absolute trash

You know what would be great?

Trading Anthony Hitchens for a bag of popcorn.

This guy gets it.

Wylie and Reiter both need to be canned.

A serious upgrade at Center will go a long way in helping our offense.

You can probably get by another year with Reiter but i'm not going to complain if we draft a center or roll with Allergretti I thought he had his moments during the pre season games and can play guard too. Wiz and Rankins both played well so I'm pretty comfortable getting rid of Wylie or demoting him and walking from LDT. Guard is one of the easiest and cheapest positions to fill.

Buckweath · 02-28-2020, 07:10 AM

Quebecer here and I'm pretty sure that LDT would accept a paycut.

He's grown into this team, with the language barrier and coming from McGill University which is very far from a football powerhouse.

Unless it is something drastic, I don't think he would refuse the paycut and want to go play elsewhere.

He knows too that he has had injuries and is not a star player.

He has that bond as well with Andy Reid whose mother also studied at McGill University.

kccrow · 02-28-2020, 07:24 AM

Like Bryan said, Hitchens really depends on the new CBA and being a post-June 1 guy. He'd free up 8.3m if cut this year and put us on the hook for 8.4m next year. That's still a load to swallow so the Chiefs would really have to want to part ways with him and, despite how bad he sucks, I just don't see it happening.

As for LDT, don't care. Wylie was just as good (which isn't saying much) and can be retained on an ERFA tender.

Saw this and thought it was relevant.

Quote:

“The word around Indy though is that instead of just letting some guys go, the Chiefs are going to try to get some draft picks back,” said Garafolo from the NFL Scouting Combine. “Once you sign that quarterback to that big deal, you’re going to need some young guys to play for you in the coming years. Well, how do you do that? You start to compile draft picks. It wouldn’t shock me if the Chiefs were active and maybe they can get themselves a buyer on Watkins.”

Garafolo made it seem like Sammy is on the block, which he absolutely should be

If there’s a team that is either desperate enough or dumb enough to trade for Watkins, then we take it in second. That doesn’t seem at all likely.
