Chaos has Arrived: Maclin to Kansas City Thread

[Fountain City Blues]

Wow, how will this work exactly with the cap. Should be fascinating. Hali, Daniel, and DeVito news coming soon. Bowe too, perhaps.

well well...

guess they heard us talking about how putrid our receiving core is...

It'll make for an interesting draft..do they go with another WR like DGB or Strong early, or take BPA like Collins or an OL then a WR in the 2nd? I'm concerned even more about the OL with Hudson gone, as Kush is unproven and a 6th rounder. Maybe they get Myers or Boling.

KC gets $7M of cap room with Tamba Hali restructure. 2015 salary goes from $9M to $6M. 4 voidable years added for bonus proration purposes.

Hali's 2016-2019 contract years void 5 days after Super Bowl 50. KC will have $4M of dead money in 2016 because of Hali's $5M signing bonus.

Tamba Hali can earn back his $3M pay cut through not likely to earned sack incentives.

The restructure of Hali's deal should move the # chiefs to around $4M-$5M under the cap before counting Maclin signing

Dorsey can Cut Bowe, push Alex's contract bonus out and open another $8M, Chase can be cut, Berry's money could not count towards our Cap.
Bowe: $5M or $11M
Alex: $8M
Chase: $3.8M
Berry: $5.45M
That's $22.25M to $28.25M Dorsey could still open up if needed.

I wish they needed a slot receiver as this Dorsett from Miami is exciting. With DAT it would sort of be overkill. My draft would be 1)Collins, Peat or Strong 2)Agholor, Lockett or Cann.

Yeah, Dorsett seems more like a more polished version of where we want DAT to be. It's going to be interesting. Heck, Lockett would be a phenomenal slot guy as well if DAT didn't work out. I really like our options in this draft now. My favorite 1st round target is Flowers at RT mainly because of his size and strength is very good. I tend to kind of think Albert Wilson works more effectively outside than in the slot, just a hunch. I just wish we had a bigger sample on the guy.

Interesting quirk is Maclin only counts for 3.4M against the cap this year.
