Man, that’s the way to do it. A clean break with huge cap savings for the team

The opposite of the way the Joneses do things.

Good move for the Chiefs, they save over $20 million on the cap.

He has decided he wants to identify with thug life. It is how he lives. Hard pass.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Who have they “overrated”?

All of them!!

 

[Rockport]

No it's not... Frank hasn't done jack last few years ...

and they need that Frank money to help re-sign OT Orlando Brown who surprisingly they did not decide to franchise tag.i hear...

He had 2.5 sacks in the playoffs and put pressure on the QB’s.

No one in particular?

 

[charron]

THis is something the cowboys FO would never do. Which is why dlaw is still here on a bloated contract.

So the Chiefs have had to trade/cut Tyreek and Clark.....do you see what a team has to sacrifice for a high CAP% QB.

 

[Longboysfan]

Clarks legal issues are zero, zilch, nada! Ridiculous charges first off. His worst offense was not having a front license plate, oh my lord no front license plate!

Interesting. How did they identify him.
Looked at back plate - got information on him - his high profile name.
Then pulled him over.
Overreach.

Two gun charges and no production on top of being over the cap probably had something to do with it

Clark is different but it did cost them Hill
And it’s only getting worse
But would you have let Mahomes walk ?

 

[quickccc]

6 sacks in 2020
4 sacks in 2021
5 sacks in 2022 ..

after 8 sacks in his Chiefs debut year, .
that's not a difference maker, and nowhere near what he was in Seattle.
Little wonder he became cap casualty.

Certainly not, Mahomes runs the offense (regardless of remaining roster). The Chiefs still had to make savings to get under the CAP by tge 15th....rather than restructure into wasted Dead Money, they make one CAP saving cut.

Each situation is different. Hill was about to get new deal so restructure wasn’t an option. Clark hasn’t produced so they moved on
Brown they offered 136 mil last year and he wanted more and will probably get it
Mahomes is the one guy who can lose talent and still win. Aaron Rodgers couldn’t and he was and may still be an elite QB. Mahomes is probably the only guy you can weaken the team and he still win

Of course every situations different, however it's tantamount to us making the cut with DLaw maybe a year ago....our method is restructure into future Dead Money, rather than cut the 'name'

Gun charges in California should always be looked at with a jaundiced eye.

Maybe so but hard to argue he’s been productive for what he’s paid

 

[atlantacowboy]

I am not concerned about gun charges as long as he's not shooting people with them. I literally don't know anyone who doesn't have a gun.

2.5 sacks in this year’s playoffs.
