The #Chiefs are hiring Steve Spagnuolo as their new defensive coordinator, sources say. The former #Giants DC and interim HC/#Rams HC began his NFL coaching career as an #Eagles assistant under Andy Reid. Now rejoins Big Red in KC.
I just don't think there is any reason to restructure Houston's deal. We don't gain enough in cap space to make it worth the pain its going to cause in 2020, you know the year we are going to have to pay our young super star QB...
I feel the same about cutting Sorenson. Cutting him to gain 2.6 million in cap space so that we have to turn about and spend that or more on the same position is just stupid. Ride it out. Hell we need bodies (depth) at the position anyway.
Honestly finding a way to get something in return for Ford would be HUGE, not only would be gain picks (2nd rounder at a minimum) but not having to tie up 15 million allows us to go get someone in free agency. [Reply]

They'll probably cut those guys for sure, but they've got a lot of guys coming due for sure.
Plus I'm guessing jerry pays Dak like a legit franchise QB which is gonna suck up a bunch of space.
Did they change the rule, Mr. O.city? I thought teams were limited to 2 (two) post-June 1 cuts. These are the cuts that allow the team to amortize the cap hit over two years (rather than one).

Restructuring makes sense if it's an extension. And if we want him to retire as a chief. Two things we may be less certain about now that we're changing schemes. If you're ok with paying him that big money now then why not just use that money to frontload his next contract. Or if you don't want the cap hit then change the $17m to bonus. Depends on if we want to frontload or backload. [Reply]

That guy is a goddamn stud. Perfect LB for a 4-3.
I'm just not excited to be paying 2 offball linebackers that much money [Reply]

I could see them cutting the following realistically.
La'el Collins 6.5 Million Cap Savings
Sean Lee 7.0 Million Cap Savings
Tyrone Crawford 5.9 Million Cap Savings
Allen Hurns 5.0 Million Cap Savings
Terrance Williams 2.0 Million Cap Savings
Add that to their 54 Million in Cap Space, that would be 80 Million in Cap Space.
Cowboys are sitting pretty good.
The great thing about being a chiefs fan...
Dallas can stack the deck all they want. But they're stuck with investing in a qb who probably just won't be good enough. They'll have to stack one hell of a deck to win around Dak. [Reply]

You're paying Peter to rob Paul.
Extending Houston, who is 30, is on the back side of his career. I think we have seen his best years. Now I think he could have a nice year next season, which is why I'm willing to keep and pay him, but extending him for multiple years to free up a few million dollars in cap space will look bad sooner than you think.
