The $177 we had in cap could have definitely covered an additional $3.75. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 The incentives have to be on 2021 cap, there is no way to know how to pay them currently. if you pay it all up front and get rollover next year then the chiefs would have less cap space this season which I can’t imagine they did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palangi 788 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 This is great. Even if he hits all his incentives. That means we have a monster offensive year. Probably back in the super bowl. Then he leaves next year as a free agent. Meaning he gets a big contract with the numbers he just put up. Giving us a 3rd round pick as a comp pick. Nobody thought we could trade him for a 3rd any way. Big picture DieHard, Adamixoye and West 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the strictest sense maybe it's not "dead money," but if we have a cap hit in 2021 and he's not on the team it's basically the same thing.

That’s a crazy contract. Incentives count immediately against the CAP if they are likely to be hit. But all of his fly slightly above that level.

Lamardirts 2,114 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 How does that work since its a one year contract. I've never heard of a cap hit after a contract has expired. I've heard of it when you cut a player before his contract is up. I'm no capologist so maybe someone could explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,597 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Per cap site there is no hit in 2021 and he is an UFA https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/sammy-watkins-14413/# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He explained it exactly as it is. LTBE incentives count against the current year's cap. NLTBE incentives don't count against the current cap, but if they are reached they count against the following year's cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rather take him as a FA or draft one? He would be a great addition here, but I truly believe the Chiefs wants feature back that rarely has to come off the field. Plus that rookie contract number is going to be important at every position we can get it at with Mahomes extension coming sooner than later. I'm not a huge fan of Zach Moss but he is very similar to Hunt and can probably be drafted in a similar spot. Idk why but my gut keeps telling me this is our guy. Personally outside the top tier I like Akers and Edwards Helaire the most. But I dont know that either will be there at the end of rd 2. Not sure how I feel about Dobbins. Anyway my guess is if the board doesnt fall how they expect and we end up not drafting one, you could see us circle back to FA and swoop up Devonta Freeman.

Like both of those guys in our offense. Would take either in a heartbeat. Wish one would drop to 3 but I highly doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priorities for rb are 1. Don’t fumble 2. Be an excellent receiver 3. Pass block to protect mahomes. Personally i dont care how good of a ball carrier they are.

Because a dangerous ball carrier keeps the defense honest and makes this offense nearly impossible to defend. Crowd the line, you are toast over the top. Drop everyone into coverage, we will fucking gash you in the run game. I think we need some better blockers on the interior, but with a stud 3 down back how do you game plan for us? Plus with a strong run game defenses cant pin their ears back and blitz at will. Less chance Pat gets hurt. ChiefThunder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt proved how hard it is to defend if the Chiefs have that extra weapon, but with the line, even Hunt wouldn't do as much. So gotta get that CB, gotta get that IOL, gotta get that LB. Reid has done pretty well with mid round RBs and if the Chiefs draft one, I think it will be in the fourth unless someone they really love is there at #96.
