Chiefs LNBS-Looking at the 2018 Salary Cap

RunKC · 01-12-2018, 08:15 PM

Holy shit what a mess. Here are the top 25 paid players, basically everyone with a cap hit of $1 million plus:

Couple of things stand out here:

-Tamba is gone.
-No way in hell is DJ playing for $10.25 million.
-Dee Ford has no dead money unless his back is ****ed.
-No way should Allen Bailey play for an $8 million cap hit.
-Ron Parker’s value deal is over. $7 million cap hit is way too high for him.
-Revis will be decided in March. Doubt he’s back.
-Dirty Dan is $4.8 million to our cap. Holy shit.

There should be some cuts/restructures coming. I think we might see a lot of new faces on defense next year.

Eric Fisher extension is an abomination.

these contracts are so horrible its not even funny. almost 5 million for Sorensen is puke.

Lots of moves to be made... but I don't think you can cut some of those guys like Parker/Bailey unless you have a solid replacement plan. At least a plan to use the money elsewhere.

CaliforniaChief · 01-12-2018, 08:46 PM

I would be more concerned if these terrible cap hits involved indispensable players.

Sassy Squatch · 01-12-2018, 08:53 PM

DJ, Hali, and Smith are obvious: 33 million
Parker and Bailey are maybes: 11 million
Ford is a tough one: 8.7

52.7 million in space from those moves.

Yes. Which all of those moves are fine as long as you've got solid replacements in mind, and as long as they are willing to use those savings in general.

I personally don't want to get rid of guys like Bailey, Ford, or Parker just to have some extra cap room. If they can use that money to grab Malcolm Butler and a mid-tier player elsewhere, then I'm all for it.

Just depends if Ford has shown he can bounce back and have a season like 2016. If he's still having problems staying healthy just cut bait. Kpassagnon needs to step up this year anyway or that pick was an unmitigated disaster

I think Ford can be an above average pass rusher but never a 3-down guy because he will be below average against the run. KPass has the potential to be stout with both, but still has a lot of work to do.

I agree. Our depth at OLB is not good right now so cutting Ford just because he is making too much and hasn't worked out may not be enough of a reason. If we have enough draft capital or see a guy in FA that can replace him I'm all for moving on.

Pasta Little Brioni · 01-12-2018, 09:12 PM

Some easy moves off the books in Smith, Hali, and DJ. Not much of a mess at all really after freeing up that room. I'd keep Revis at that number.

ThaVirus · 01-12-2018, 10:31 PM

Good Lord, what a bunch of overpaid bums.

Who's earning their contract? Peters is certainly outplaying his. Chris Jones does from time to time. Kelce earns his, as does Schwartz.

Everyone else is stealing money.

Why Dorsey was fired.

Need to re-sign Albert Wilson. He has legit chemistry with Mahomes in the passing game. That will be important for a very young starting QB in 2018, especially on 3rd downs.

Don't forget to cut zombo to get a cool million back. Zombo isn't worth vet minimum.
