If they get rid of Jones they take a 53MM cap hit. They would need a player and cash to fix that one.

They aren't going to get rid of him. They are going to convert his salary to signing bonus.
Do you even look at the data. MaHomes is over 60 MM next year.
You don't ******* get it. He isn't going to end up being a 66million dollar cap hit. Signing bonus money is figured into the salary but isn't always a cap hit. If I pay him 66million and 20 of that is a signing bonus hes a 44million cap hit. They can restructure his deal. They have been planning on it all year. He was never going to cost the team 66 million next year. Watch and see. He restructured last year and added 20 million in cap room.

Yeah, I understand how it works, if they cut that 22MM like you said over 3 years, that gives them 14.33MM of space and moves him up to 82MM area in 2026 and 2027.
KC is going to need him to shift 22MM per year to years 4-6 with a new contract that is basically the same as the current one. Last years restructure banked on this year winning a ship.
Without a doubt the Chiefs are going to have to let some good players walk because of salary. That is the purpose of the salary cap, the league does not want an MLB Dodgers situation where they have a $350 million dollar payroll playing teams with a $35 million dollar one. They can convert money from Mahomes and others to free up dollars and cap space, what we need more than anything is to hit big on this upcoming draft. Move Taylor inside to play guard and find 2 offensive tackles or hope the kid we drafted last season in the 2nd round can improve and play some.
Different time under different rules. Those Steelers team were around when there was no free agency for the players nor salary cap. Imagine a Chiefs teams that could have kept Hill around instead of trading, one that did not have to chose between Jones and Sneed, but kept both. Those Steelers teams had that options, KC nor any team today does.
So the standards change when it comes to the Chiefs? JFC. Another Nick Wright
College football is a shell of itself but basketball is good. At least as of now they haven't completely ruined the sport by going to a 120 game tournament.
The NBA is the biggest joke ever, haven't watched a game since Jordan was around.
Your takes are pretty bad but I'll at least agree the NFL is the far superior product in football.
Yeah, that was garbage. Kenny Pickett was in the game at that point for the Eagles so one would assume the Cheifs would let some backups the chance to play.
Nope, just Mahomes airing it out to Worthy going against the Eagles JV secondary.
JC, if that is what you took away from comparing the different era that is beyond stupid. Different times different rules.
Mahomes playing for Bradshaw, he would have been on the IL. Checkout how many times Bradshaw got clocked on a pass play.
Ya, they don't allow the QB's and WR's to take a beating like they did when Bradshaw played, Bradshaw was 6"3' 215, Mahomes is 6"2, 225. so he is a little bigger framed than Bradshaw was. Mahomes like any modern player has been lifting weights and is in far better shape then players like Bradshaw were during that era of the NFL. They gave a stat comparing the size of players in the 70's to the Eagles O line and the players today were all 3 inches taller and around 80 pounds heavier than O lines during that time period.

My guess is they just want to buy time to negotiate, and on the off chance someone else wants him, they could work out a sign and trade deal.
My thoughts too, control his market for now and try to work out a long term deal that maybe is backloaded so they can fit him under the cap while Taylor is eating up a big cap hit. I'd hate to lose him because then we have more than LT to fill a hole at for an OL that struggled to protect down the stretch this year. Not much we can do at RT for now until after this season when Taylor's cap hit goes down enough to cut him.
So Thuney is getting traded. They will resign Smith. Kelce is coming back. I'd like to see Bolton and Reid come back as well, but I don't think we can afford everyone. Will be an interesting off season.
