http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1462254-2013-nfl-free-agents-studs-that-will-be-most-sought-after-impact-players Bowe might be a FA. Plus Bears Pro Bowl DT is getting a lot of head way as well. Would love see the new GM go after him if we can clear some cap some how. BTW when does the TV deals kick in for the teams salary cap to increase it. It is 2014 or what?

Yes we might not have the cap right now. But I'm sure the new GM will work his magic when he comes in day one. That is what he is been hired for. He will know to deal with the cap and be able to scout and fine big time talent for this team.

I'm sure there will be plenty of money to go after at least one top flight FA if we want to after we cut/trade/restructure Deangelo, Beason, Gamble, Gross, and whoever else we decide to make a change with

Seriously, how much money do you think we guys have... The only players we will be able to afford are special teams guys.

Signing one big name FA isn't at all out of the question, we'll free up space, they can have a small first year salary and give them a nice sized signing bonus that then is spread out over the length of the contract.

If we don't do something to drastically improve our WR corps going into next year I'm going to be really pissed, we can't wait for Smitty to be washed up to get that new #1 WR

Am I the only one that thinks Bowe wouldnt be a big upgrade over LaFell? KC has no one else to throw the ball to, of course his number are decent. He is a better jump ball wr, but thats about it. If steve goes we are left with two relatively slow possession receiver types. You need a combo, if you cant get a combo then you go speed. If we are being realistic Id rather have Mike Wallace.

I've seen quite a few Cheif fans who don't want Bowe back. I'll call it Peppers Syndrome.

If we were going to go after a WR Jennings would be near the top of my list. However, I'd rather draft an eventual replacement for Smith.

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
