Dablueguy 0 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Are they trying to convince him to retire? Probably, or letting him decide what he wants. He's earned that, and there's no urgency to make a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Are they trying to convince him to retire? They are trying to see if the other 40 million in guarantees that Dorsey promised him would hold up in court. Only kidding, I THINK! Heck releasing him still costs us 1.7 million in dead cap fees. Maybe they are trying to work around that somehow. 8.7 million last year for 3 tackles, he owes us a refund of what is probably the most ridiculous contract in Chiefs history.

I don't know about the worse, Chester mcglockton comes to mind. 2 first round picks given up plus the money for 87 tackles in 3 years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Chester. He was indeed a bust. But we only gave up a 2nd rounder to get the dominant defensive lineman who had worn out his welcome in Oakland after walking to sideline of 1997 game and asking Marty to sign him.

Oakland got the 31st comp pick and a 2nd round pick from us. For some reason I thought we signed him and had to give up 2 first rounders for it. My bad.

Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I honestly think they are giving him time to retire with dignity before releasing him. Wasnt an option with DJ, because he made it clear he's gonna play next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moons314 2,463 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I think it’s likely that the front office just hasn’t crossed that bridge yet. I think the trades were more pressing to get done. There’s also the possibility that he will retire, the office knows it, but they are letting him announce when he’s ready. Perhaps there’s merit to the theory that the chiefs are trying to persuade him to retire. There’s a lot of reasons why the release could be holding back, and I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soonerborn77 276 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hopefully he’s restructuring so he can stay with us and not cost a lot just to retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Selfishly i want to see him retire. Don't want to see him playing for another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCJohnKC 33 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Selfishly i want to see him retire. Don't want to see him playing for another team. I'd like to see him retire as well. I'm not sure if he could realistically play for anyone else even if he wanted to. Still love that whole jujitsu deal he was a part of. I wish he would coach for us. That is a valuable tool.

sith13 1,746 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 They probably gave him some time to decide whether or not to retire. DJ will definitely have suitors therefore they took care of it sooner and have been working on trades. Hali played here all of his career and contrary to some beliefs those guys cannot simply be released. They'll have sit downs with him and discuss the situation and send him with dignity if released.

I don’t see how he could make a 53 man roster in the league. He’s lost a step, has injury issues and he’s contributed nothing on the field for quite some time. When he was drafted there was a lot made of his flat feet, and it was well known he wouldn’t age well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His use would be as a player coach, we saw at the end of the Chargers game him giving tips to Bosa. I wouldn't mind keeping him just to help with tutor the young pass rushers but obviously not at his current cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to previous contract arrangements with Hali they might be waiting for that bonus to be triggered before letting him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
