onejayhawk Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Offense OL Are we going to treat Fisher and Schwartz as booked OT? If so, Niang is the swing tackle and we're 90% done. If we re-sign Remmers, he can also back up RT. OG has a bunch of candidates. Allegretti and LDT are the obvious starters. Rankin and Durant are the reserves. Remmers again figures. Reiter's signing amount looks reasonable. Let's do that. As much as some posters think it's a smoking crater, I do not see OL as a drop everything priority WR/TE Watkins is gone. Robinson must be re-signed if we keep him. Do we want Yelder or Keizer back? Sausage is done and Reid likes to put Kelce in the backfield, so three TE is a must. This part of the roster needs a lot of thought. RB Clyde. Figure a TE covers FB. Darwin Thompson is still on his rookie contract. Damien Williams may be back, but in what capacity? Who to re-sign? I would not object to a late pick, but this is a low priority area. QB Mahomes and Henne. Nice area to have settled. Based on the cap numbers, these are the offensive players I would re-sign. C Austin Reiter: $3,265,144 RG Mike Remmers: $2,766,478 WR Demarcus Robinson: $2,412,375 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Will need ideas on how to create cap space, if we do these resignings. We have 3 Mil right now, and Mike was very generous in the NFL Cap #. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Defense DE Clark and Danna are set. TK and Taco are cheap re-signs. Okafor can be extended. More talent is nice, but we can play these. DT Jones, Nnadi and Wharton are set. Saunders is still on his rookie contract. I don't think we even re-sign Pennel. LB Hitchens and Gay are set. Can we afford Damien Wilson? Niemann is RFA and everything else is ST fodder. This is a bigger area of concern than last year. S We cannot afford Sorensen. Mathieu and Thornhill are front liners, but nothing else. CB We cannot afford Breeland and it is unclear how much RFA Charvarius Ward will cost. Sneed is the given and Baker may save this unit. I am not sure what happened to Fenton, but he's still on his rookie contract and there is hope Keyes develops. Based on cap numbers, I would re-sign: DE Tanoh Kpassagnon: $1,443,680 CB Antonio Hamilton: $1,099,875 DE Taco Charlton: $920,000 Edited January 19, 2021 by onejayhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC_Guy Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Was about to do the same as J ... Offense first, Defense probably tomorrow: QB: Mahomes is set, The Chiefs under Reid over the past years always kept an experienced backup ... and when he went down as well brought in more experience - Moore. Mahomes and Henne should be good to go .. plus a young gun plus some old farts on speed dial. Moore is to go. RB: CEH is set and after his recent performances Darrell Williams should be as well on the RFA tag. Don't forget Damien Williams was the bell cow a year ago. So with him returning from Covid opt-out and Darwin Thompson in the wings the team should be set, unless some unforessen opportunity opens up. Right now I'd think Thompson would be the odd man out. TE: It's Kelce there and nothing else. Some budget solution wanted ... ERFA may be the way to go initially ... cutting those guys later doesn't cost a dime. WR: Hill (#1) and Hardman (my #3).. then a big void. Returning Watkins is an ilusion with the cap as it is. The big question is: Would Pringle be ready to take on Watkins' role as a physical receiver to complement Hill and Kelce? I don't see any other options in FA ... the draft may be a place to look for THAT guy. The other issue is Robinson. If the team would be able to bring him back on a comparable deal like last year using the oddities of the CBA .. I'm all for it. Dieter and the other 2020 PS guys are nice to have ... but they didn't even play in the throwaway game in week 17 ... Guess we'll have to take a closer look at the TCMD rules to work that one out. OL: The big nemesis. Fisher and Allegretti for me are set on the left side. Schwartz: sorry, you'll be the cap guy getting the axe. I was happy with Durant at RG .. and between him and returning LDT there should be a solution. C .. up for grabs. I don't really like Reiter ... others do. SO for consistency .. if he's available for a reasonable contract ... keep him ... else .. look elsewhere .. draft, old fart budget vetereans like Kilgore ... you name it. RT: taking risk here with Niang? If so .. back him up with Remmers or someone like him. That said: There are budget options. However, the unit should be a focus in the draft especially for OC and RG in my opinion. As this may be confusing ... this: LT: Fisher, vet, Durant, Niang LG Allegretti, ??? C; ??? (Reiter, Kilgore, draft?) RG: LDT, Durant RT: Niang, vet, Durant Edited January 19, 2021 by KC_Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I am taking as give that we are not going to spend the rate on these four guys WR Sammy Watkins: 7 $16,800,000 S Daniel Sorensen: 5 $13,644,269 CB Bashaud Breeland: 6 $9,337,964 RB Le'Veon Bell: 5 $5,080,482 This guy is a closer call. He is our steadiest LB, who plays 75% of the snaps. It's also a thin unit. LB Damien Wilson: 5 $4,593,750 Looking at the whole roster, it is hard to overstate how well we did last spring. Clyde was a hit. Gay could be better and Niang never suited up, though both are expected to be important players this season. Day #3 killed. Sneed was the best CB in the whole class, at least as rookies. Danna is going to be an outstanding pass rusher. Wharton is already a full rotation DT. They found DeAndre Baker on the street. Without all of them, this would be a very different project. Other than an off-ball LB and cheap depth, we can play the defense we own.

RedGold Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 I agree on keeping Damien Wilson. At least on a 2 year deals. Him, Taco, and Kpass would be the three I target off the bat. I would personally keep Schwartz. Remmers, Wylie, and Reiter would all be gone if it were me. Unless Reiter gets down between 1-2 Mil. Just think all three are products of Mahomes, and not really worth the long term investments.

Remmers is cheap depth at that price and he will be starting in the Super Bowl in three weeks. I understand releasing Reiter, though he's better than some here think. 1 hour ago, KC_Guy said: Schwartz I'd like to keep as a player .. but he's one guy we can really create cap space on.

Remember the Eric Berry contract that really hampered the Chiefs' offseason options for three years ... An extension of: Mathieu- 3 year Fisher- 3 Year Extend Hill or Restructure Kelce. I prefer the Hill extension Should free up 13-15 Mil. Enough for ERFA/RFA, plus 3-4 of our own (depending on who it is). Cutting Schwartz would really only be needed if you want a mid level FA somewhere. He’s only got 1 year left on his deal, I guess my preference would be to just ride him out till we see what we have in Niang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if there are any guarantee deadlines in TCMD ... keep it as an option ... Without getting into the numbers what to free up by other (realistic, I hate those weird things that sometimes happened at FFMD) moves I'm looking left and right. E.g. extending Hill right now for cap relief would probably lead to a massive future overpay (not necessarily for perfomance, but for team cap structure) ... tieing the Chiefs' hands REALLY badly (read: NO badly) in the future ... Well ... but that thought could be ignored for TCMD ... Oh, and yes .. I would like to have the option to go for a mid-level FA ... to cover holes left after the draft.

Yeah I mainly just put Niang/Durant rotating at RG/RT to show the depth along the right side. Tbh with our cap situation, Any depth at 3 Mil is pretty expensive. I’m all aboard being Remmers back at Vet Min. But let’s also remember he is a journeyman that has struggled protecting the edge anywhere without Mahomes. Who’s to say we don’t pay him 3 Mil, when we could have gotten the same thing with another journeyman and Mahomes at vet min. I’m more on the side of extending Fisher if we do either of the OT’s, his health is better and Niang was more of an OG/RT guy... though I’m open to being wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 This was the contract extension I was playing around with on Tyreek. 6 Year / 115,650,000. You can pretty much ignore those 5th & 6th Year Cap Hits. With only 7 Mil in Guarantees left, we can easily extend/set free at that point. I don't think paying 18.5 Mil at the max, for Tyreek in his prime in bad at all. This is the Cap Savings for the next 2 years with this; 2021 Savings: $3,200,500 2022 Savings: $4,185,000 Extended Contract Year Status Pos.

So pushing some of these start player salaries into 2022&2023 is possible. Just need to keep drafting well, and not using all the picks for trade ups. Veach was impressive to me, this past year, not getting too aggressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
