Andy sold in Mcnabb high.
If alex plays at this level all year, that's the highest it's gonna get value wise. What are the chances he does it again next year, a year older? |

If they do keep him, here'd be my plan...
Sign: Beau Allen, NT (PHI) (reference A. Woods, D. Square) 2 years, $4 million, $1.5 million signing bonus ~ $1.5 million 2018 Re-Sign: Anthony Sherman, FB (reference P. DiMarco) 4 years, $8.5 million, $2 million signing bonus ~ $2 million 2018 Tyler Bray, QB (reference R. Griffen, K. Clemens, B. Weeden, C. Daniel, etc) 2 years, $2.4 million ~ $1.2 million 2018 Rakeem Nunez-Roches, DL RFA Tender Original Round ~ $1.8 million 2018 Terrance Mitchell, CB (reference B. Carr, J. Lane, M. Cooper, C. Hayward, etc) 4 years, $22 million, $6 million signing bonus, $8 million guaranteed. ~ $3.8 million 2018 Terrance Smith, ILB ERFA Tender ~$630k 2018 Kevin Pierre-Louis, ILB 1 year, vet minimum $790k Phillip Gaines, CB 1 year, vet minimum $790k Estimated 2018 Net Increase Against Cap: $12.5 million Total Cap Space needed: $12.5 + $5 million buffer + $3 million draft = $20.5 million Let walk: LB R. Wilson (RFA) WR D. Thomas WR A. Wilson DB S. Terrell DB K. Acker DL J. Jenkins DL R. Miller OL J. Devey OL Z. Fulton SP D. Colquitt Other Transactions: Retire/Release Derrick Johnson, ILB ($8 million cap space) Retire/Release Tamba Hali, OLB ($7 million cap space) Release Demetrius Harris ($2 million cap space) Convert $6 million of Justin Houston's 2018 salary into a signing bonus (gains $4 million cap space 2018) Total Cap Space Gained: $21 million Roster: QB: A. Smith, P. Mahomes, T. Bray RB: K. Hunt, S. Ware, C. West FB: A. Sherman TE: T. Kelce, R. Travis, ? WR: T. Hill, C. Conley, J. Chesson, D. Robinson, M. Kemp?, G. Deiter? OL: E. Fisher, P. Ehinger, M. Morse, L. Duvernay-Tardif, M. Schwartz, B. Witzman, C. Erving, ?, ? DL: R. Nunez-Roches, C. Jones, A. Bailey, T. Kpassagnon, B. Allen OLB: J. Houston, D. Ford, D. Nicolas, F. Zombo, ? ILB: U. Eligwe, R. Ragland, T. Smith, K. Pierre-Louis, ? CB: M. Peters, T. Mitchell, S. Nelson, D. White, P. Gaines, A. Lampkin DB: E. Berry, R. Parker, D. Sorensen, E. Murray ST: H. Butker, J. Winchester, ? Leaves you some holes at TE, OL, OLB, ILB, and P and maybe WR. You could probably fill 2 of those with cheap vet free agents (esp WR, TE or OL) at the minimum and still have a little buffer for the season, and I don't think the draft will cost the $3 million I have allocated (net cap effect, not total money). You could sign Kemp and Deiter to the 53 for next year and only cost you 960k, so that's a big area to keep the savings IMO. |

I love Alex. He is the reason I am a Chiefs fan. I am from Utah and went to most of his college games. I felt he was done dirty by Harbaugh and I couldn't support the 49ers after they cut him during his best season off the heels of an NFCCG. With that said... it only makes sense to trade him after this year. With the season he is having he is guaranteed to bring a first round draft pick and some role players in any package someone puts together for him. His hit to the cap next season is $20m and to get the most out of Mahomes rookie deal we would need to cut him loose. It sucks but thats the reality of this situation. Alex is worth far more to another team and conversely the Chiefs by being traded. Let's all enjoy this year of him though and hope we get our SB.

If we go all the way and win it, Smith definitely deserves a shot at coming back to defend the title
Anything less than that, and it only makes sense to move on... Alex isnt getting any younger, and we'd be wasting 2 years of Pats 'cheap' rookie deal |

If Alex gets us to the SB it's because he's playing like he currently is. Right now he's playing like Rodgers.
You don't just trade that off. |

Because Mahomes can't throw catchable passes to Demarcus Robinson.
That never happened in the preseason at all behind a garbage offensive line. |

Mahomes vs that defense with 3/5 OL out, #2 and #3 WR's out and his best blocking RB out?
Would have been a disaster. |
