Are we really going to go back-and-forth about what specifically to call it? Preventing 3 pro bowlers from hitting the 2015 market is no small move. And it's going to eat significantly into our cap. And your choice is either to delay that hit, or eat it now. I would rather eat it now.

Chiefs have really done neither this year, they did not resign some of the flashier players (Albert, Mccluster, Schwartz) nor did they make a splash in FA. My guess it's because they have more critical resigning of core players coming up (Smith, Houston, etc) that they need to prepare for and have some cash to spread around. I'm not an expert on all the contract stuff, that's just what it looks to me like they are doing from 30,000 feet. |

Signing players still under contract does not an active free agency make. |

It's small semantics. Whether you want to call it an active off season or free agency period. The point being that if you re-sign 3 pro bowlers, it's no longer easy to call this a lazy offseason.

Ok.. I don't think so, I'm just trying to make the point, that you only have so much money to spend - whether you choose to do so on FA's or resigning existing players. Chiefs have a number of existing players they want to resign coming up and I think that more than anything is why they have been quiet this year in FA.

This is ridiculously false. This regime resigned Bowe to the contract he has now, this regime signed undertalented players like Fasano, Devito, Daniel, and Avery to overvalued contracts puttin us in cap hell. This regime is responsible for its actions and you tryin to say otherwise is some ridiculous bullshit

In my mind it just seems like there isn't a plan at all. Last year we signed a bunch of average players to big contracts so we can win right now. Now we're stuck in some stupid limbo area where we don't have cap space to try and improve the team, oh and we also lost a bunch of free agents that would've been nice to keep. |
