Last-minute speculation on the O-Line front is "Is Andre Smith undervalued?" Can't wait! Sarge: “fancy pants glitter picks will get you an 0-16 record”

That’s priceless!

Last-minute speculation on the O-Line front is “Is Andre Smith undervalued?”

Can’t wait!

Bonus is that Peterson won't be the one deciding how to translate that into a contender. But I have to give Peterson credit for putting Pioli in this position.

The way I'm reading this now is that KC is actually off the hook for an additional 2.5 million for 2009. If Atlanta takes over his contract, that should mean they continue the commitment to Tony for guaranteed money, which is the $2.5 million a year for each of 09-11. With regard to my "...if Tony never plays a down..." comment, above, I think Atlanta has to come up with the $2.5 million a year for 3 years if Tony now decides to retire a Falcon! So, until an expert explains it to this dummy (meaning me), I'm thinking it's $6.5 million for 2009. By 2010, we won't even be talking about it. It'll just be a bit of trivia buried in the cap number (oh yeah - no cap in 2010). I think the upshot is that the Chiefs can be as aggressive as they want to be, later on. I hated all the reaching and poor man's choices the Chiefs made, because of penny-wise pound-foolishness of Peterson. 6.5 – 4 = 2.5 – 2009
7 – 4.5 = 2.5 – 2010
8.25 – 5.75 = 2.5 – 2011
