Well we would have more cap room if there wasn't such irresponsible spending by John Dorsey.

And I'm sure that you could've done better Mr. Armchair GM. In case you didn't know it, the league instituted in 2013 a salary floor in addition to the salary cap. Dorsey had to spend some money & he was over a barrel regarding Bowe and you've already had it explained to you as to why.
They would have to take over his salary, but the signing bonus the Chiefs gave him is the Chiefs responsibility. I'm not sure how roster and workout bonuses are handled. (Flowers has both in his contract.) Of course the Chiefs could always ask the team getting Flowers to pay a portion, or all, of the dead money, but that would probably lead to lower picks in return. In Flowers' case it would probably nix the deal.
Thanks Topeka!
So you're saying that they're completely off base when having Trent Williams, Joe Thomas, Jordan Gross, Jason Peters, and Tyron Smith as their top 5 LT's? Got it. Worthless.
These guys watch football for days and do their best to spit out grades you can understand when it comes to positions that are tough to grade. Where else can you find how many sacks, hurries, and QB hits a lineman gave up? Or how many QB hits and hurries a pass rusher had? Or what a QB's passer rating was when throwing at a certain defensive back? Or how many missed tackles a player had? Or how well a QB does when throwing to different areas of the field?
Do they get stuff wrong? Sure. Are there things to disagree about with them? Sure. But don't dismiss it as a worthless service. It's becoming commonplace for NFL teams and agents to use this as an extra resource as well, especially for contract negotiations. As of last year, 1/3rd of NFL teams subscribed to the service. So people can continue to tout is as worthless. Many NFL front offices would beg to differ.
All you're telling anyone is to trust the eyes of PFF, instead of trusting their own eyes via the overhead camera. And like you said, they make mistakes, and Eydugstr and I are referring to O-Lineman and I already know PFF ratings are worthless regarding O-Lineman as they don't touch on the series of opponents that said player went up against or injury status.
I don't need the eyes of PFF. I've got a perfectly good pair of my own, and can review the same thing PFF is seeing via NFL Game Rewind.
So instead we should trust the eyes of the guy who said Branden Albert should have never been playing LT to begin with. OK!:lol:
