Wait to see how they adapt to the new coaches/system and if they can stick around on a 53 man roster. Cut them then if you have to. But unless you just flat-out KNOW a guy isn't going to stick, cutting players on their rookie contracts this early in the offseason makes zero sense.

Sense. no need for any of that round here

That would be an epic start by the regime.

It'll be a guy like Tyson Jackson and his horrific contract

Cassel and Jackson at the same time, the last **** you to Pioli.

Unless their are implications of cutting someone before or after the draft, I honestly can't see them cutting anyone just yet. Same goes for signing players such as Bowe, Albert etc. Cutting or signing anyone would indicate which direction the Chiefs may go with their draft, not just number 1.

Any move like that, in my VERY simple mind of football, would telegraph a possible motive in the draft. The Chiefs hold the cards in this one, keep everyone under contract ON the team, and sign no one until the draft is done.

Again, in my Very simple mind, it allows for more bargaining power on draft day if other teams have NO idea what direction we are going if, this staff is willing to listen to trade offers....

I want nothing more than to see Casshole, Jackson and others gone while retaining Bowe and Albert. I just think if the Chiefs made all those moves BEFORE the draft, they have less bargaining power...again, JMHO.

all that shit goes down sometime in March way before the draft.

so no, they cannot just sit on it, they will reveal their direction like every other team does prior to the draft based on FA moves

i think franchise tag period starts around the February 20 somethings and ends the first week of March

I want to say something like March 17 is FA but dont hold me to it

Well this just reaffirms why I do what I do and am not a front office guy for the Chiefs! Thanks for the info my friend!

I won't guess the first, but I'll take stabs at guys who have appeared on the 53 man roster.

Guys who will get released, or we will let walk in Free Agency-
1. Matt Cassel
2. Brady Quinn
3. Steve Breaston
4. Peyton Hillis
5. Kevin Boss
6. Abram Elam-Possibly
7. Nate Eachus
