I think that Poe is important for this defense, but I would not be in favor of bringing him back if he wants a huge salary like I expect him to. He's a rare specimen who will want to be paid somewhere in Gerald McCoy's neighborhood IMO.
I know people are saying Poe is better than Howard, but I don't think that's true. Poe is the better pass rusher than Howard, but Howard is a better run stuffer. I think that Howard is a better pass rusher than Poe is a run stuffer. Obviously we would all love to keep both, but we've already got significant money tied up in Bailey and soon to be Howard (we've already made it a priority to get this done). Keep in mind that we've shown a penchant for finding good DL (Howard/Williams) and we've also shown a huge amount of development in all of our DL, so could we move forward without spending a ton on a player with back issues? As for CB, I do want Sean Smith back, but it's probably not gonna happen. This draft class is filled with great talent at CB and I'd like to take one early on pure principle, however I think we'll be forced to take one as a need, as I don't see any real talent in FA that would come at a significantly cheaper price than what Sean Smith will cost. I think this draft will be all about depth. I think we need depth at these 3 positions more than anything else: -Speed receiver to replace Avant/backup returner. (Braxton Miller would be great). I want to build this WR core up like the Steelers and Cardinals. -CB, even if we keep Sean Smith. -OLB. I don't care if Tamba comes back. We need insurance in case Ford struggles in the future, or another injury occurs in the future. Last edited by RunKC; 12-29-2015 at 03:14 PM.. |

Is it just me or is Howard good for 1-2 personal fouls a game?

The deciding factor will ultimately be "the market," and where his agent and teams around the league see him fitting relative to it. Some fairly large contracts have been signed the past few years by defensive lineman. I don't like the 8+ per number I put out in this offseason mock and I really don't even like paying him Bailey money. The more I think about his production and how I'd personally value him, the more I think the Chiefs have to get a deal done under 5.5 million per, and ideally under 5 million per, or they should let him walk. |

Where Hali? You don't have on the roster or walk away.

He has void years in his contract to spread the bonus out and he is a free agent after 2015, but I didn't put him on the "let walk" list for two reasons: 1. I expect him to retire, and 2. If he doesn't retire I'd assume he'll sign a one-year, cap-friendly deal with the Chiefs.

Howard is getting more than an average of $5.5 million.
