liquidfriend 1,151 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Eric Fisher's 4-year extension is worth $48 million, including $40 million gtd. The six years he now has left on deal total $63 million. A good move if Fisher plays more like the end of last season. Might free up some much needed space for this year.

kccrow 529 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 would love to see Poe get an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugsy 225 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 He is now the highest paid o-linemen in the NFL....WOW I guess you gotta pay it because he plays a premium position. He played well last year and seems to be getting better. I am cool with it. Glad our first overall pick will be around for a while... That is a good sign IMO.

PhataLerror 370 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 He is now the highest paid o-linemen in the NFL....WOW Is he? That's not what overthecap.com shows. He's around ninth-tenth in average salary, behind Russell Okung, although Okung's contract doesn't become significant unless he's on the Seahawks' roster in 2017. I like the signing. You need someone for the blind side, regardless of which side the defense's best pass rushers line up on. Hopefully in a year or two he will be considered a value at his contract cost. This might mean that both Dontari Poe and Eric Berry are done in Kansas City after this season. The Chiefs are almost at the limit of the number of premiere contracts that they can afford to carry without selling out the entire roster by 2019. On the other hand, the Chiefs have set themselves up for stability on the offensive line for years to come, a necessity that they were far from attaining when John Dorsey and Andy Reid took over the team in 2013. I don't believe that Smith is about to start slinging the ball everywhere, but with an offensive line that may soon be able to pass block almost as well as it can run block, the Chiefs' offense could actually start being highly productive. That in turn would limit the need for run-stopping nose tackles and run-stopping safeties, abilities that would diminish in value if the Chiefs are pressuring opposing offenses by jumping out to early leads. In the end, the Chiefs may have just crested the hump when it comes to being a team that wins by scoring rather than being a team that wins by preventing the score. I approve.

Star has him tied for 3rd behind Trent Williams and terron armstead. Tied with Tyron Smith. Looks like overthecap has not updated their numbers for fisher yet.These rankings are based on yearly average btw. For fisher you have to include the 5th year option, as this extension should kick in after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 The 5th year option is rolled into the extension, so yty could be lower when avg'd out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhataLerror 370 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The 5th year option is rolled into the extension, so yty could be lower when avg'd out. Therefore his extension now has his contract running six years at roughly $63 million, or $10.5 million per year. That's less than a lot of tackles. The contract benefits Eric Fisher because he gets new money. The contract benefits the Chiefs if Eric Fisher closes on the potential that resulted in him being drafted first overall in 2013. Whenever I see the word "guarantee", I ignore it until I see the details, as so many "guarantees" aren't fully guaranteed at the time the contract is signed.

DieHard 2,061 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I like the mean streak we started to see last year. Plus he played pretty well and is getting better. If they would have waited 2 years to do this it would have cost much more. Good move. I think that it is worth seeing Poe play if he won't give a discount. I would like to see him play this year before giving him that kind of payday I think he will get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West 6,714 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Shows KC wanted to get a deal done with Berry FIRST. They waited until after the deadline and then cut this deal with Fisher... w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 I think this move was going to happen regardless of what Berry did. Just a lot easier to do this at camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnet 1,150 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I'm so behind on Chiefs news I know I'm bumping this older thread. I will leave it to you guys who say this is a good deal, because I don't know much about that. I'm glad he got signed. He may never live up to being the number one overall pick, but I agree that he did play better last season, especially near the last part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eraser 722 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 First round, first overall only matters when the player is drafted. After that, he is just another guy who is added to the team. People put so much emphasis on where a player was taken. It is a good standard to see if the team got value for their selection, but even that is not fair. It normally takes several years to determine if a player is good. Every year is different. Some years are better. Players are taken according to their overall worth, but teams always look to fit needs, even though they profess to pick the best available guy. Lane Johnson was thought to be the better choice after one year. Who thinks that now? Apparently, he got a good deal of his success from a bottle. I thought Joeckel was better, but he has hardly played. He may not even stick with his current team. Dion Jordan was taken third, and he is doped up. By the time we look back at it, Fisher may end up being a pretty good pick. I was a huge fan of DeAndre Hopkins. but most people were not willing to take a WR that early, and the Chiefs urgently needed a replacement for Albert, who has not fared well since moving to Miami.

jetlord 10,209 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Except for can't miss QBs like the Mannings, Luck or Elway, top picks are over rated. Dorsey must agree since this year in the draft he kept saying there is good quality in day two picks and traded down. Even when a team targets a first round pick and celebrate when he falls to them, a high percentage fade out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eraser 722 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Fisher got his tail whipped a couple times against the Rams. The Chiefs have to do something about their LG. Morse, and Fisher had to help out Ehinger, and it ended up causing them to make mistakes. Fisher moved inside a little too much, and the DE went right by him. The Chiefs only have one spot to fix, but they must find someone who can hold up. My guess is Jah Reid, but Ehinger is not going to match up well against bigger players this year.

xen 1,010,220 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Fish was PFFs highest graded tackle in week 3, allowing no pressures. Although it should be noted that Chicago sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
