except what are you restructuring to?
His base salary in 2020 is $19 million. However, you can cut him for $1.5 million in dead cap; saving $17.5 million. Remember, Patrick's deal is on the horizon here. I'm saying I think it might be literally more financially smart to eat the $21 m this year and cut him next year. As long as draft a DE this year to be ready to carry a full load next year, we're in good shape. |

If you extend Houston, you can convert his salary this year to bonus, reducing his cap hit to under $12M a year, radically increasing his guaranteed money, but keeping him affordable.
It helps all parties. Houston gets more guaranteed money, chiefs keep their best defender, and you can trade Ford, freeing him over $25M in cap space ($15.7M for Ford, and reducing $21M cap hit for Ford down to $11-$12M) |

I’d have to look at next years cap figures to see if it makes sense, but Houston’s base is 14m and Veach can convert 12.5 of that to a signing bonus that pushes that much dead money into next season, but saves 2019 cap 12.5 million while keeping JH50.
If they are going all in this offseason (which I’ve read and heard a few places a month ago) that very well May be an option they are thinking about. It’s a shame Ford has various concerns that factor into his ability to replicate and build upon what he did last year. If Veach gives him a long term deal for fair money his cap hit for 2019 can be as low as 4-5m. Gotta wonder if Veach is going to push all of his chips in like LA did and try to push for a super bowl this year or if he’s gonna go a different route. Buckle up, it’s gonna be interesting. We might keep everyone and add 2-3 good FAs, or move on from some bloated contracts and start developing lots of youth right away. |

It's hard, because the decisions have to factor in both the window of opportunity, as well as the impending long-term Mahomes deal.
I cannot ****ing imagine the metric shit ton of love he would receive if he pulled a Brady and took less than market value in order to field the most competitive team. |

I just don't think that's a good way to compete for multiple super bowls. And I don't want ONE. I want TEN. but back to the topic-I think Houston is our best defensive player. He's a well rounded player, Ford is a specialist. I'd rather keep Houston and draft a DE as his replacement down the road and move Ford while his value is high. |

But if you want to maybe keep him you'd have to what...convert to bonus which then spreads the cap hit out so you'd have to pay him next year too although it would be a lower cap hit. Of course, at that lower number for 2 years you likely want to keep him anyway. |

So yeah, if you could convert to bonus, spread the cap hit out to $11 m it's a no brainer, right? |

We have a huge problem right now it appears. Two of our best players have us over a barrel with hugh, poorly-written contracts. It also appears like they are giving the team a middle finger in terms of coorperation. They are friends so i imagine they have discussed it and know if they work together they can really control the situation.
I wonder if they will actually come out and tell the chiefs that they consider this a package deal? Keep us both or cut us both. |

These guys pay agents to act in their best interests. It's really early in the offseason, so agents aren't talking deal right now, why would they? Wait and see how it shakes out. I don't think either of these guys are "ME" guys; they aren't Antonio Brown. |

Houston and Berry have some crappy contracts for the team. If Mahome wasn't on his rookie year we'd need to cut players to get under the cap. I don't think we can't afford to keep Ford. Too much risk involved and not enough cap room to make it work. Keep Houston, maybe with a small restructure. Trade Ford for another high draft pick. Make this is an all-draft offseason to get the team back on track financially. Veach will have to earn his paycheck. |

From my understanding, teams can apply the tag between Feb 20 thru March 14. Free agency starts on or around March 14. If the team cannot secure a trade by then, they are hand tied for the prime time of FA. It is a risk.
