Hell, we’ve got 15m in space right now that we could roll over in its entirety if we don’t sign someone, and that alone would allow us to keep Fisher altogether, combined with a couple minor moves. |
Awesome answer. I was teasing you a bit about your other thread- but also was genuinely curious how this sets us up now.
IMO this Okafor deal is pretty huge for the Chiefs due to all the reasons you mentioned, but also is shows that Okafor must think he is going to get another ring this year.
Being a multiple SB champ will be something that will define his playing career. Call it the Mahomes effect- guys will take a discount to play here. First Sammy, than Mahomes set the precedent in stone, Jones, now Okafor.
This is how you keep a team together. Add in all the role players like Sausage on 1 year deals- I think we will manage the cap just fine while staying competitive.
