Chiefs Late night bullshit: Allen Bailey or Rodney Hudson

Direckshun · 09-24-2014, 12:43 AM

I run lots of layman simulations of the Chiefs offseasons throughout the season. Most of them are totally worthless, but they're generally not that far off. It was easy to predict we weren't going to be doing a ton of things in the offseason last year, for instance.

I think it's reasonable to assume the Chiefs will free up about $25m in cap space by cutting several players. You almost get there by cutting Hali, Sean Smith, Fasano, and DeVito -- and you gotta figure guys like DJ, Chase Daniel, and Avery are all on the bubble to get cut as well.

If that's the case, you gotta say a Justin Houston deal takes up approximately $12m of that. Which means you're working with about $13-$18m in free agency.

Unless there are some shocking cuts, the free agency class is not very good this year at any position. At WR, you can have a number of WR2s, and I suspect the Chiefs will try for one. At CB and OT, the cupboard is almost entirely bare. When the best talents I see at tackle is Orlando Franklin, and the best talent I see at CB is Chris Harris, you're not exactly cooking with gas.

So the Chiefs will do their thing, trying to score a B-level free agent and a handful of bargain bin options, hoping to land another Joe McKnight or Husain Abdullah.

But they've also got their own decisions to make with two players who are currently in their last year of free agency, C Rodney Hudson and DE Allen Bailey.

I imagine, if the Chiefs are hoping to land at least one B-level free agent, they'll have to let AT LEAST one of those players walk.

So which option would you pick? Poll included.
