Source: Cap will be higher than $132 million
Posted by Mike Florio on February 25, 2014, 1:50 PM EST cash-money-pile-stack-550x556 Reuters Back when the owners were told that the salary cap would climb from $123 million in 2013 to $126.3 million in 2014, a source with knowledge of the cap calculation said it will be higher. Now that reports have put the salary cap as high as $132 million for 2014, the same source has said, once again, it will be higher. Per the source, the cap could be a “few million” higher than $132 million. If this means $3 million more than reported, the cap could be as high as $135 million. That would amount to an 9.75 percent increase over last year, the biggest spike by far since the 2011 labor deal was negotiated. It’s unknown whether the increase in the cap, which is based on revenues but inevitably is negotiated by the NFL and the NFLPA, will result from efforts to borrow against future cap increases. In past years, the quid pro quo for an increase in the cap has included an agreement by the NFLPA to permit cap penalties to be imposed on the Cowboys and Redskins for treating the uncapped year of 2010 too literally. A cynic may wonder whether the spike in the cap for 2014 is aimed at helping NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith fend off a 2015 challenge from Sean Gilbert or, possibly, Hall of Famer Derrick Brooks. Regardless, the cap could be increasing by similar amounts in the future. Per the source, the 2014 bump is expected to become the trend in future years.

I hope our Oline just competes for all the positions next year.
personally i think Hudson's size is a real issue unless you are pulling your center all the time. In this day and age, i would rather just get a real athletic big guy that is mobile enough to move rather than have to deal with helping your center on every play. Hudson has a utility interior backup would be the best outcome probably the same for Allen

In a perfect world....
Fisher dominates the competition and wins the LT spot. Hudson slides to LG. Kush shows enough growth to take over the starting center spot. Schwartz is re-signed to play RG. Stephenson excels at RT. Allen moves into the swing tackle position and all we need to do is find a backup OG/C. |

Yep....like Boss said....Watkins. Add him to the backup spot and we'd be good. I'm not of the mindset that our offensive line is as ****ed as some people think. We need to get Schwartz signed though.

I know one thing. They aren't acting like they are gonna just hand the LT job to Fisher.
They have said that they have him penciled in at rt They didnt even play him in the playoff game Watch them take Taylor Lewan at 23. |

Let's just spell out some specific numbers for everyone's understanding. Tamba signs an extension - 24 million (19 guaranteed) for an extra 3 years. Let's say with a 15 million signing bonus for simplicity. For the first two years, his signing bonus hit would be his old signing bonus plus 15 million divided by the five years of his contract. For the remainder of the contract, it would just be the 15 million divided by the five years of his contract. Therefore, the signing bonus portion of his cap hit would look like: 6M/6M/3M/3M/3M His salary for the deal could be restructured (13M+9M): 2/2/6/7/7 Roster bonuses: 0/0/2/2/2 Therefore, his cap cost for each year of the deal: 8/8/11/12/12 or if we cut him in '16: 8/8/9 compared to his current cap figures: 11.5/12 Bottom line: Saves the Chiefs 3.5M this year and 4M next year. He can be cut in 2016 to provide cap savings of 2M. Hali gets 16M now, 2M over the course of '14 and 2M in 2015. We probably pay him his 9M in 2016, but can cut him. instead of: 8.5M over the course of '14 and MAYBE 9M over the course of '15 Win. Win. In fact, I would bet you could optimize this deal further for the Chiefs and Hali would take it. It's his last chance for a big score. |

You are basically asking him to restructure the rest of the deal to a 2-year 10 million dollar contract and a very unguaranteed 2016 as a replacement to his existing one year 11m deal in 2014. There is no way he signs that. Hali will want a deal that makes him tough to cut in his twilight years. |
