GunnerBill Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 My biggest hang up is his contract explodes next year. I think everyone is misinformed. TT cap number by year (according to Over The Cap): 2017 $15,913,334 2018 $16,780,000 2019 $17,380,000 2020 $17,630,000 2021 $17,650,000 Alex Smith: 2016 $17,800,000 2017 $16,900,000 2018 $20,600,000 Brock Osweiler: 2017 $19,000,000 2018 $21,000,000 2019 $20,000,000 Just because the Texans are paying Osweiler that money doesn't mean we should make the same mistake. They are gonna eat a load of dead cash on that stupid, stupid contract. Tyrod is cheap.... if you think he is 15th best. I think he is about 21st.... but agree he is the same tier as Smith... just a bit lower down it. I don't think Smith will ever win KC a title either mind you.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 The Alex Smith comparison is a good one. I thought about starting a thread to state that case but there has been too much higher profile nonsense going on with which to compete. It's the best argument for why keeping Tyrod makes sense. Near as I can tell there is nothing about Rex's firing or the new hire process that is inconsistent with what we were told previously about the power structure or the events as they took place. The thing to remember about Tyrod's contract is that it is a reasonable contract to keep while looking for a QB in the draft - in terms of QB expenditures it would not preclude signing a 2nd round or even a 1st round pick (possibly not a high first rounder) Concur on the firing/hiring
