Rumor NFL Free Agency Rumors

The cap will increase next year to offset some of this. But, yeah, they likely will lose Jones and I imagine they will cut Honey Badger. But that only equals enough to cover Mahomes new salary (which will be around 30-35 per year). Maybe they can structure it a way to take less of a cap hit the 1st year. Watkins is likely gone as well, but he's a non-essential part of their offense. Mecole Hardman looks like he's going to get more touches as well.

 

I agree. It was just damn nice to see the decisiveness and aggression out of a Titans qb.

 

I think his contract is going to blow anything previous out of the water. I expect he'll get $40M+ per year. He could easily be the first $200M man in the NFL.

 

They have 2 cut someone or else they can't even sign draft picks or a fa if anyone gets hurt

 

Makes you wonder if they only tagged Jones to trade him...

 

Actually with the Robinson deal they are well over the cap right now. Somethings gotta give. Watkins having a $21 million cap hit is insane. If they wanted to keep him in the fold, they could negotiate an extension to bring that waaaaaay down.

Still, they won’t be able to afford Jones and Mahomes next year with the current contracts on the books.

 

Unfortunately I think we’re like the last team they’d want to trade him to haha. No one beats the Chiefs like we do.

 

Dream scenario around here. I would give up a first for him. I know he is worth morr but they are in dire straits for cash.

 

On a chiefs forum the thought was that they would try to trade him, but the Colts deal for Buckner has made it tough on their GM because the Colts dealt the 13th pick and so they feel that they need to get that much value

 

That's fine. As long as they get worse it's a positive for us.
