At that price they can have him

I actually didn't think the money was that bad. I mean...we just gave Drayton a deal for 3 years, $15 million.

But that being said, I'd rather spend the money on a pass-rusher. With a halfway decent pass rush, our current CB's wouldn't look so bad.

True, but I bet we're not in the market for a high-end CB, like Carr. I could be wrong though.

The worst part about KC signing Routt is that now they will use the Franchise Tag on Bowe. Not that I wanted Bowe, but that is one less WR on the market, which means the asking price for Stevie just went up.

There appears to be quite a selection of solid CB's to hit the market this FA which means we might not have to overpay to get a good one.

I'm still not concerned about Stevie.

Not concerned because you don't care if he walks? Or not concerned because you think we'll get a deal done?

I'm not concerned because he's totally getting the franchise tag, it gives us another year look without a long-term commitment (IMO).

If we can't lock him up long term, then I sure hope we tag him.

Re: Stanford Routt chooses the Chiefs

Ya i wouldnt pay or want my team to pay that....if we could have swapped closer to mcgee's contract it would be ok

i wish mcgee would take a pay cut and stay tho espically since we are switching schemes

I'd wait until March 5th to see what other WR's get franchised. If a deal isn't done with Stevie by then, he gets the tag. Better to have him that lose him and have no one to replace him.
