There is no way to justify any receiver not named megatron receiving 10% of your cap space. If those are his demands, trade him to someone who will pay him and draft a receiver.

I thought of something today. If Bowe says he needs a deal worth 60/5 years, I tell him that I will just franchise him again next year and he had better pray he doesn't get hurt over the next two years. After that he'll be like 29 and won't be able to pick up a big deal anyway. Play hard ball. The Chiefs have all the leverage.

Available salary cap space for all 32 NFL teams
By Brian McIntyre Published: July 1, 2012 at 10:58 a.m. As we turn over the calendar to July, and with training camps opening in a few weeks, it's a good time to look at how much salary cap space remains for each team. According to a source with access to NFL salary cap data, AFC teams have $162,554,428 in available salary cap space, led by the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans, who are Nos. 1 and 2 in the league. (Don't think Maurice Jones-Drew and Josh Scobee haven't noticed where the Jaguars rank) NFC teams have $111,397,452 in available cap space, led by the Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, despite those two teams being among the league's big spenders this offseason. With three teams in the Top 10, the AFC South has nearly $64 million in available salary cap space. Teams in the NFC West have a league-low $19,019,732 in available cap space. Here's how it all breaks down: Jacksonville Jaguars: $25,115,885 Tennessee Titans: $19,970,080 Cleveland Browns: $17,774,764 Kansas City Chiefs: $16,548,048 Cincinnati Bengals: $16,309,693 Philadelphia Eagles: $15,879,570 Tampa Bay Buccaneers: $15,740,231 Indianapolis Colts: $14,595,514 Green Bay Packers: $11,255,804 Denver Broncos: $10,878,461 New England Patriots: $10,873,988 Minnesota Vikings: $10,595,534 Carolina Panthers: $8,769,801 Seattle Seahawks: $7,470,071 Buffalo Bills: $7,382,319 Dallas Cowboys: $7,188,021 Washington Redskins: $6,970,162 New York Jets: $6,044,153 Arizona Cardinals: $4,552,576 Miami Dolphins: $4,458,211 Houston Texans: $4,053,256 Chicago Bears: $3,976,700 Detroit Lions: $3,775,829 Pittsburgh Steelers: $3,734,063 St. Louis Rams: $3,602,486 San Francisco 49ers: $3,394,599 New York Giants: $3,119,114 San Diego Chargers: $2,862,095 Atlanta Falcons: $2,834,873 New Orleans Saints: $2,272,081 Oakland Raiders: $1,347,040 Baltimore Ravens: $606,858 The figures above do not include the recent signings of Falcons safety Chris Hope, Vikings defensive end Jeff Charleston or Saints third-round defensive tackle Akiem Hicks, each of which is expected to have minimal impact on their respective teams' current cap situation. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d...content_stream |

Looking through NFL free agents I don't see anyone that would be an improvement for the Chiefs.
They can use some of that money to sign Dontari Poe *, extend Branden Albert (2013 free agent), sign Jovan Belcher to a longer term contract, and still have money for any other 2012 roster changes. *Fletcher Cox, the 2012 12th pick, is costing Philadelphia around $1,862,000 against the 2012 cap, so Poe might be between $2 million to $2.5 million when his contract is complete. |

That's true, Bowe's contract is another consideration for the Chiefs.
Bowe's $9.5 Million Franchise Tag amount is already figured into the $16,548 surplus. Hopefully when KC and Bowe reach an agreement, it won't cost the 2012 cap too much more. Right now the largest cap hits for WRs for 2012... Larry Fitzgerald $13,250,000 Vincent Jackson $13,000,000 Dwayne Bowe $9,515,000 Wes Welker $9,515,000 Brandon Marshall $9,300,000 Santonio Holmes $9,250,000 Sydney Rice $9,000,000 Calvin Johnson $8,950,000 Roddy White $8,025,000 Greg Jennings $7,947,500 http://www.spotrac.com/top-salaries/...wide-receiver/ |

Clark says "looks like I'll have to pocket that money myself. Another good year for me."

There are probably going to be some decent players available, that get cut or released from some teams that we could sign for decent backup roles. So I guess this is a good thing.
Which brings up another question. What positions do we need to be looking for when the time comes? |

Maybe we are saving money to pay Drew Brees when we trade for him?

is the 9 million for Bowe already included since he hasn't signed the tender?
if not the 15 turns to 6 and some of that 6 probably goes to Poe
