This can't be!

Sad, I liked him, but he was in over his head.

Not sure if serious....

Good. He was never good enough, and KC was foolish for thinking otherwise.

April Fools!

Maybe not..

To the April fools conspiracy theorists... No it is not a joke, but you have to appreciate the irony.

Well.....bye

Basically lived off the legend of one game. 2009 against the Steelers.

yep.

And the last Studebaker rolls off the assembly line.

Whats the cap savings 2 mil?

Thank God.

Studebaker symbolizes all that was wrong with the Fat Scott era.

Too many "overachieving" players with little talent.

About that...yeah.

so now that gives us 5.1 mil in cap space

cool. use that to pay geno or something

Finally

Yup and the chiefs need around 4m to draft this year.

Expected! Cap move.

Cant we restructure Hali's and Berry's deals to free up space? Both are making like 15 mil this year

Such a weird day to do it. April Fool's lol

Do they not do the rookie pool anymore?

Sure if the chiefs want. I would leave Hali alone don't wanna add years to his deal.

Sure we can but first and foremost you knew Studebaker was going to be released sooner than later. You look at the roster and the cap #'s and Studebaker's cap just screamed at you for nothing more than a back-up/SP player.

Dont have to add years. They can just turn it into a bonus like teams do

How does the “Rookie Pool” affect the Salary Cap

This is probably the most confusing aspect for most people. Some people this its additional money added on top of the salary cap which is not the case at all. The “Rookie Pool” is a cap within the salary cap. It is essentially money that your team needs to place aside for your rookies. It is not added to your salary cap at all.

The Chiefs (pretending there is no trade for Alex Smith) would have an allotment of around $7.445 million for their rookie class. What that means is that at the end of the preseason, assuming all their rookies make the club, the Chiefs will need to devote $7.445 million in cap dollars to their rookies. So if the Chiefs had a salary cap of $123 million their effective cap space for spending is only $115.55 million in 2013.

However when reading this it is easy to jump to conclusions that the Chiefs need to be $7.445 million under the cap today just to sign rookies. Not exactly. We need to remember that in the offseason the salary cap is based on the “Rule of 51” which means only the top 51 cap charges (plus dead money) count towards a teams salary cap. Most teams have more than 51 players under contract. The Chiefs have 55.

This means that each of the Chiefs 7 draft selections will displace a player who is currently counting towards the salary cap limit. Most of these players earn $405,000. So if you have 51 or more players under contract here is the general rule as to how you calculate the net cap space that is being eaten up by your rookie pool:

Year One Rookie Pool – (405,000 x number of draft picks)

For KC that is equal to just $4.61 million a big difference between the $7.445 million we first thought we needed to set aside. So is the Chiefs have at least $5 million in cap room they can sign free agents and not need to worry about their rookie dollars being compromised. If you are a team with less than 51 players that you will need to adjust your calculation accordingly to

Year One Rookie Pool – (405,000 x (number of draft picks – (51- players under contract) )

These are your net cap space requirements for rookies or what I would call your “Effective Rookie Pool”.

I've waited for this...its about money. He had a ridiculous contract and this is how we fund the draft picks.

And this is why clubs have positions just for handling the cap and contracts. ****ing Christ.

I liked him .. but his speed wasnt there .. too bad .. hope he can make a squad sumwhere on ST .....

How bad does Reid hate this guy

cuts him in Philly, cuts him here. lol

it's like when there's a fly and you think you smashed him but he keeps getting up and buzzing your face

welp

as of right now OLBers on this team

Justin Houston
Tamba Hali


think its safe to say they will be drafting a OLBer lol

actually the whole current group of LBers is hilarious

MLBer
Derrick Johnson
Cory Greenwood
Chad Kilgore

OLB
Tamba Hali
Justin Houston


there is NOBODY lol

Nevermind....we released Sheffield back in September....

Don't forget Edgar Jones

But but guys, he was the first in, the last to leave and helped out with the 4H bake sale every week!

The OLB depth in this draft is pretty good.

is he still signed? they dont have him on the official Chiefs website roster lol

http://www.kcchiefs.com/team/roster.html

hello dion or child soldier

Yes 1 year deal

I thought he signed a new deal this offseason.

ah well

they still need lots and lots of LBers regardless of Edgar Jones lol

e.jones ‏@stayhumble99 22 Mar

Blessed to be back in the red and white. Ready to get started. #chiefnation

I still think we'll come out of this draft with at least one OLB and one ILB.

Hopefully no Gabe Miller types

A player brought in during the Herm Edwards era, who was a backup for a few years, somehow symbolizes what was wrong with the Pioli era?

Studebaker becomes the first Chief to receive an extension from the Scott Pioli-led Chiefs.

He, Studebaker, turned one play in the awful 2009 season into a 5 year stay

i remember those interceptions against the Steelers this place was calling him as Vrabel's heir replacement. Boy that was way off lol

the Tony Moeaki syndrome

Again, he was Edwards era addition who was a backup for a few years. It's not as if they signed him for 10+ a season as a starter.

Quick! Someone get Boomer Grigsby's agent on the phone.

You forgot to include a link to the site you stole this post from.

http://overthecap.com/explaining-the...he-salary-cap/

didn't do enough when given the opp

He was OK on special teams, but we can do as good or better for less money. I have no beef with his time spent here. He has nothing to be ashamed of.

Thanks. Amazing how rarely people seem to include links these days. IIRC, didn't it use to be a requirement years ago? Maybe that was another board.

My Steeler fan friends came to town for that game (along with what looked like another 20,000 towel waving Steeler fans). They didn't like the tomahawk chop chant that was going on as we exited the stadium. Great game.

I'm ****ing tired of bandwagon HORDES in Arrowhead. And I don't think it's ever going to change.

**** Herm. **** Pioli.

The Chiefs have bandwagon fans? That most go like...week to week or something...

Sorry it didn't work out, Andy. Millions of white people loved you.

No. I mean the thousands of terrible towel waving Pitt fans, cheesehead festooned Pack fans, cockslurpin Cowboy fans and the inevitable cadre of Donko fans who are on the Peyton train.

Just ****ing sad you bring race into this but if someone did this about your boy Geno how quick would you call them a racist.

That's pretty racist...

LMAO Calm down, bro

One good game.

Except for a failed line of automobiles.

Seriously?

It isn't hard to figure out dumbshit.

Studebaker= Minimal talent

Studebaker= "Blue Collar", "Overachiever"

Studebaker= Cheap

Studebaker= Prototypical Fat Scott player.

Studebaker was a practice squad player who played sparingly under Herm. He became a starter under Fat Scott.

So long Stuude. Aaaand waiting for Stanzi/Tanney to drop, yes.

Dang. I had high hopes for Andy. I even liked him in the draft that year.

It's a really stupid attempt at claiming a backup level player as the face of failure when he was signed by the former regime, played as a backup for most of his career and is now, not surprisingly, cut when his salary outweighs his play. Now, maybe you're normally that stupid, and this is not just because you can't rationally look at the ***** era. I don't know. Given that the guy had only 8 starts in 5 years, that 5 of the 8 happened in one season and that the next season only saw him getting 1 start, I do expect that most people are smart enough to figure out that he's not the player to lay your gripes on.

How does one "rationally" look at the Peeholi era? Outside of Berry, Houston, and possibly Poe, there really isnt much to talk about. A giant bag o' dickhammers best sums up said era.

Every time I saw Andy Studebaker on the field, I clubbed a baby seal. This little fella thanks the Chiefs organization for doing the right thing:

This 1953 is pretty bitchin....

I remember reading once that Studebakers went extinct because they were so well built that they didn't get repeat business as often as other car makers. I've always wondered if that was true, because I'm not convinced that it makes sense.

There's my ol' 1958 Lark VIII.

Nice Ride! Do you still have it?

THAY ARE MAKE ROOM ON THAA RASTER FOR TEBOW

Nope, not anymore. Sold it back in the mid-1990s. Dad bought at '62 Hawk that sat in the garage for a while before he sold it.

Hey, if Tebow is a better linebacker than Studebaker, then great. He's not playing QB here, that's fo sho...
