Blow This Mofo Up Mock (12/13)

[DaneMcCloud]

The Chiefs aren't cutting Charcandrick West. He's their best 3rd down back, by far, and a great blocker.

They're also not cutting Ron Parker or Allen Bailey.

In order to cut these guys, you'd have to acquire two starting players to replace them.

That's not happening.

We desperately need a more effective pass rush, going into '18 counting on Ford is a fool's gamble.

If you think you can resign a guy like that to a three year 5.8 million deal you are fu@king crazy. The Broncos gave Ronald Leary 4 years, $35 million. Larry Warford signed a 4 year, $34 million with Detroit. Now Fulton might not get 4 years 30 million, but he's not going to sign for 2 mil per. Stop under valuing players on our roster.

Dude is leaving because someone will pay good money for him, and we will get a nice comp pick.

Let's not pretend Fulton has ever played at a high level at either position. He's serviceable. The last guy I remember being just like Fulton? Dan Connolly (Patriots). He never did get a big deal. I'm not going to say you're wrong, but I'm not going to bow down and think you're right either. EDIT: That being said, I'd rather get a good comp for him if we can't re-sign him. Not really a lose situation for a 6th round pick.

That's a bold move, Cotton.

Yeah, that was an oops.

West is fools gold. So is Akeem Hunt. Keep the cheaper one and hope a gem falls through the UDFA cracks.

I'd agree they probably won't cut either of these guys, but I did mock to replace them with DaQuan Jones in FA and Armani Watts in the draft.

Added FA Denico Audry and drafted Lorenzo Carter. Not sure how much more you want there?

By all accounts, Charcandrick West is the most liked player in the Chiefs lockerroom. He's been a very solid 3rd down back this year and blocks his ass off.

It's not a good look to cut an effective, cheap and well liked player.

Allen Bailey has been mostly bad this year and is definitely a guy I can see them cutting. Parker probably is staying another year.

The problem is replacing Bailey.

This is a bad year for free agents.

The Chiefs are already thin at D line and cutting Bailey makes them worse.

I think he’s a near lock in 2018.

Even with a thin FA class, I think he can he replaced with a cheaper option that would at least give you similar quality play.

No way he's worth keeping without a major paycut.
