Ware restructures his contract
 

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...mpression=true

Moved $725k of his $1.4m base salary to incentives that he has a “very real shot” of hitting.

Sounds like we applied some pressure, since he is giving up some of his guarantee for no added value to him.

Also means he want to stay a Chief, for this season at least.

Also, means we are paying West more than Ware... so he’s probably gone.

Also, does this mean we are freeing up cap space? why? Breeland?

Very deep at RB...

Interesting.

Gotta be making room for a signing.

Sweet - I love this guy!

I keep hearing Ty Law's name tossed around!!!

725k gonna tip the scales for them on that? Yeah, ok.

We have an army of one ginormous big black 'double headed' dildo at the running back position that we're about to tool the rest of the league with! EXCITING!!

Could be more changes coming to clear cap..why else would they do this for a small amount? At the same time they should have cap space for a signing without making moves like this unless they are going after more than 1 guy

Well,

He agreed to cut his base down to basically what the team owed him if were to get cut in return for incentives he can reach easily, if he's healthy. He restructured for more job security because he's far from a certain to making the final roster.

Now the Chiefs aren't on the hook for much extra if he is actually a broke dick.

725k isn't going to make or break a FA acquisition for them.

I think you're right. $725K isn't going to sign anyone except a FA off someone's scrap pile. With the number of RBs we now have signed, it's more about job security.

If it's a games played incentive, it would be characterized as 'unlikely to be earned' since he didn't play in the regular season last year. That means it wouldn't count on this year's cap but would instead be added at the end of the year if he hits it.

It really shouldn't matter; I'd be shocked if the Chiefs allowed themselves to get that close to the cap at any point this season. It could still come in handy though...

what's the plan with West? I mean what would we get for him, anything?

We should be right up near $8M in cap space now. Plenty to go into the season with.

Breeland would change that though.

We might get 2 football's and a pack of Big League Chew for him in a trade.

I don't see Breeland signing here because I don't think they will break the bank.
