mullysalt 3 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 It's all over the web that Jamaal will hold out to get more $$$ and not report to training camp. I can't blame him a bit. They PAID DumBowe while JC is the best player in the NFL pound-for-pound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongo 92 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 If true, this team is soo phucked!! Why? Pay the man, extend Berry, and you still may have enough to sign Houston, if done intelligentlly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK_CHIEFFAN 12 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Would be nice if they got a contract done real soon.The longer he holds out the more probable he gets an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer 8,686 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I heard Jeff Chadia talking about this subject on 810 radio. Evidently ESPN is doing a piece on him for mid October and then this.... interesting Jeff said holding out was not "jamal's style" but being that he is 40% of the offense he is grossly underpaid. JC probably has 2 years left in him if we are lucky and do not get him some relief ASAP! pay the man looks like Houston & Smith are just going to have to wait & eat cake.

Mugsy 225 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I understand where he is coming from but, I wouldn't do it unless it's reasonable. He's several seasons in and already missed a season due to injury. You can find running backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo 92 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I understand where he is coming from but, I wouldn't do it unless it's reasonable. He's several seasons in and already missed a season due to injury. You can find running backs. He was used pretty judiciously early in his career and he DID miss a season. There may be more miles on the tires left than you think. Pay the man. 6yrs/$55M, $16M signing bonus. Bubble payment in year 4. At that time you convert 12M in salary to signing bonus or you cut ties. The key part being his year one cap hit is only a little more than his current one. Year Bonus Salary Cap 1 4.00 1.50 5.50 2 4.00 4.25 8.25 3 4.00 5.75 9.75 4 4.00 12.00 16.00 5 0.00 7.50 7.50 6 0.00 8.00 8.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo 92 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 BTW: Derrick Johnson is a guy KC could be faced with a hard decision on. He's underpaid too, but is 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWil 30 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Chiefs are in a tough spot right now. In the next 2 years we need new deals for Alex Smith, Jamaal Charles, Donald Stephenson, Tamba Hali, Derrick Johnson, Eric Berry, Justin Houston, and Dontari Poe. The cap is set to go up, so we may be alright, but I can almost guarantee you we are going to lose some of these guys, it sucks, but it is the nature of the beast.

He's a backup swing tackle at best, unless there's dramatic improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith is a top 15 QB, but you have to over pay for him. Charles should be the highest paid RB for the next 2 years and then he is done. Incentive based extension maybe? Stephenson should be cheap to resign. Hali is gone next year. DJ: Play out his deal and let him walk. Berry: Not worth top tier money. Reasonable deal or let him walk. Houston: Top 5 OLB and young. Pay him top 5 money. You can't let him leave town. Core player for the future. Poe: If he continues to develop and doesn't disappear in the second half of this season, pay him top 5 money. He is too young and too good to leave town. Core player for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongo 92 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Eric Berry is a top tier safety. Odd that the only folks that think he isn't are Chiefs fans. I suspect its because they expect Ed Reed numbers from a SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongo 92 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 mongo.. Donald Stephenson is the best o lineman on the team...at the moment.. So? He's not good. That just speaks to how bad this OL looks. We all expect Eric Fisher to surpass him sooner than later. If not KC really has problems. PS: I'd say Rodney Hudson is better, but not by much.

Guest spfdchiefsfan Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Just got an update that a new deal is done. No link yet, but you heard it here first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo 92 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Chiefs signed RB Jamaal Charles to a two-year, $18.1 million contract extension through 2017. So much for that holdout. Charles is now the second-highest paid running back in the league behind Adrian Peterson and is locked up through his age-31 campaign. On his previous deal, Charles was scheduled to make $3.9 million in salary and bonuses this season. He'll now make $8.3 million in 2014. It's well deserved after Charles put the Chiefs' offense on his back and carried them to the playoffs in 2013. Charles is entering his age-28 season. He's a locked-in top-three fantasy back, along with Peterson and LeSean McCoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
