We need the details of that deal.

Nice. PBJ

Oh this is going to be good. Half of CP is about to explode in anger.

Yes!

Longest hold out ever

OAHSDF OYSDA FJSDAH FIS7AYUDF OUSHDA FOUHYDSA97 F9DSA

Free nachos?? Worked for Priest.

Not too optimistic given how expensive Bowe's deal was.

To the paddle boats!!!!

I'M NEG REPPING EVERYONE WHO SAID MOVE ON.

Clark doesn't spend!!!

That escaladed quickly.

You'll get nothing and like it!

He better lead this team to the Super Bowl now...

QFT

like a 5 hour hold out. shouldn't be that big of a deal that would sink the team.

He should have held out longer and missed camp. Those legs need a break.

The Great Hold-Out of 2014

1 hour 35 minutes.

Charles needs more nachos

$598M guaaraneed according to Athan.

Tribal Elder is probably curled up in a fetal position, sobbing uncontrollably.

Looks like he's gonna be enjoying his Escalades.

overpaid!!

As Phobia and I once where taught - "GIVE THE BALL, TO JAMAAL"


carry on.

ALEX SMITH SHOWED HE CAN GET YARDS WITH HIS LEGS THIS IS A MISTAKE.

neux waiz geye

Good to see the Chiefs know who their most important offensive player is. Hell yiss

Is he playing SS for the Yankees?

Anybody care to guess the terms?

:LOL::LOL::LOL:

Musta been really insecure about the emergence of Knile Davis. Take what you can get, JC.

Leseans a couple years ago was 9 mil per. Would guess around there

He'll be taking selfies with his money phone if that's the case...

And AP was 7 & $96. I pray we didn't blow our whole wad like that.

100% exactly what they should have done. This is perfect.

BRAVO MR. DORSEY. ****ING BRAVO.

van Silva ‏@evansilva 31s
Good on #Chiefs to pay Charles. Was criminally underpaid after carrying KC O. Only RB in NFL to lead his team in every rush&receiving stat.

****ing A, dude.

I know he deserves it but I hope we didn't tie up more than $7 mil-ish per year.

Looks like you are pretty close

Mort said talks with Alex Smith not going good.

Guaranteed money and next two years are all that matter. Never going to see the last two years unless his career is the outlier.

If the recent history indicates, Charles will get 3 bazillion dollar and a blow job from Dorsey.

Define "good." Sounds like they're going quite well in terms of Dorsey understanding Smith's true value and overall worth.

$58M is my guess. though I hope its $48M to afford the Houston deal.

Too bad it was not a longer deal- want him to retire a chief.

This.

Houston is more important right now anyways.

With only $10 mill in cap room, wouldn't those numbers put us out of cash?

I honestly have no problem with it whatsoever.

A) He deserves it.

B) We ain't winning shit without him.

C) He protects Alex Smith.

D) It's four years, that's the perfect length.

E) It sends a message to other players/agents/free agents... KC Cheaps don't ****ing exist. Chiefs take care of their own.

I'll guess a 3-year extension for $32 million, and something like half of it guaranteed.

That makes him a Chief for 5 more years. Dorsey will probably restructure it so he starts receiving the guaranteed bucks right now.

If he's productive for the next 3-4 seasons like people say he'll be, that will keep him on the team throughout the remainder of his prime and expire either during the downslope or just after. But thats fine, because he can always be cut a year early without putting dead money against the cap.

I could see Charles having a Marcus Allen–like second wind. He's got the right vision and work ethic.

Sign your name Jamaal here, write the dollar amount you want

And he didn't hardly play at all his first few years...

Franchise tag.

Kevin Kietzman doesn't understand why they did this deal, thus proving with absolute certainty it was the right thing to do.

Like I said

Charles > Houston > Smith

He's top ****ing priority on this team

Oh well

Damn I hope you're right. Instant hof'er

one step closer to the Super Bowl run.... Well done Chiefs....

inflated sense of self worth also

Jamaal likely will get 40 million over the 4 years if I had to guess. (He is between Shady's 9 and AP's 12), however with Smith I'd have to let him play this year out if he is asking for too much. If he earns the money, then okay, but otherwise no need to budge. Tag him if you have to. Houston should be next.

Makes you wonder who will get cut next year... Tamba, S. Smith, Fasano, Daniel, etc. days looking numbered. Would love to have Tamba just take a huge paycut.

BS, not when it comes to W's.

Yes Charles is far more elite than Alex, but if the alternative is Chase ****ing Daniels, we are ****ed.

Now assuming we can develop Bray or Murray, maybe you have something

Cool, at least they got one deal taken care of.

This explains the Smith/Houston hold up.

All that time we were worrying about those two, we didn't think about the fact that they might be working out a deal for Charles.

The table is set, and now they can take care of Houston. Alex's deal will get done next year, or he'll get franchised.

That would be cool. It's possible, but that's just asking a hell of a lot from any player, especially a RB.

His carries over six NFL seasons:

67
190
230
12
285
259

That's basically 1,000 carries. If he averaged 250 carries over the next four years, that puts him at 2k at the end of the contract. And 2k is what Herm Edwards said last week is usually the plateau for running backs, FWIW.

Not bad at all really.

I kinda thought the 'don't give him more money crowd' was stupid for this reason right here. Happy to see Charles is signed through what will probably to the end of his effective career.

Of course Charles proves to be pretty unique. Many players would have held out for more. He could have really squeezed this team and forced their hand.

:LOL:

There is truth to this. I'm just looking out for the future.

I guess, THIS is exactly the reason that you let the Dexter McClusters, Tyson Jacksons, and Jon Asamoahs of the world walk- so you can pay guys like Charles and Houston.

Now we are taking!!!! $7 million a year is the perfect compromise. LOVE IT!!!

27 originally + 18 with this deal so 45 million

so $52M total is a ****in hell of a deal.

hopefully this means it is impossible for us to pay Alex.

lol more than 7. He was already making $3.5 million this year (I believe). So add $5 million on top of that.

Holy ****** shit. Did not see this coming at all.

He is a RB. A long term guaranteed deal in the modern day NFL is insane. You give them front loaded money and cut them later at little cost. It's just business.
