"@AdamSchefter: Game of tag is underway: Chiefs officially placed their franchise tag on LB Justin Houston, per team source."

Most saw this coming. But now it is done.

Yay?

 

[didshereallysaythat]

That's ok. We couldn't pay him that kind of money anyway.

 

[Wild_x_Card]

Total shocker. Can we still sign him though? What happened to all the threads that KC will never afford Him?

 

[iueyedoc]

Damn. Oh well, one less vet minimum pick up I guess.

Not sure that the Lions have officially said anything. But take that for what it's worth at the time being.

that was a no brainer....I would seriously doubt the KC staff if they let a 22 sack guy hit the FA market

 

[didshereallysaythat]

Imagine Suh and Shelton on the same team.

as if we had a chance

Are you really surprised?

Good, another cash cow that we're in no position to spend on. We're not 1 piece away on D.

I'd like to thank the has been receiver and never was QB for gobbling up the most of our cap room to make free agency an exercise in pointless hope.

That has absolutely nothing to do with Justin Houston getting tagged.

That money would/should be spent on a QB and a #1 WR anyway. If you want to argue that the ones we have on the roster are not worth that money, great, but that is irrelevant here. So even if we had the greatest QB and #1 WR in the history of football, that money would still be spent.

Or do you think the elite QBs and WRs are cheaper than the sub-elites ones?

KC can't. Pretty sure thy have to cut a bunch of guys to open up cap space.

 

[Run the ball]

I was reading on profootballtalk that they've signed him to the non exclusive tag, which means other teams can still sign him away at a cost of 2 first round picks.

Pretty sure is not the same as certain. Also they Can because they just did.

If the Bears had a QB in place and were in more of a position to win the 2 first round picks for the best OLB in the game would be up for debate. At this point however we need all the picks we can get IMO. If anyone would tempt me however it would be the 26 year old OLB coming off a 22 sack season.
