He is due $9.8M and if we cut him we still own him $4.5M. my source So if he will restructure for under $5M we might as well keep him this year.

Now restructure Matt...perfect!!!
This move was very important, Jackson is the best 5 tech DE on roster, and not easily replaceable. One year deal, it tells me that we will be drafting 2 DE in a 3-4 defense. Bailey haven't worked out the way was expected, Pitoitua isn't very good at 5 tech and Smith is a role player. Toribio and Powe had played DE for a few plays during last season, but I'm not sold on them as DE's. Dorsey is good enough but will be overpaid probably by Dallas or someone else.
Hats off to Tyson Jackson on this one. It shows that he cares about a team player for the Chiefs sake. He may never live up to his #3 overall draft status, but he's rightfully earned the respect of all Chiefs fans with this move. Plus, he should have already have enough dollars stashed away in a bank somewhere from what he's already been paid thus far.
Two thumbs up, TJ and give it your best in 2013.
