No we do get it, we get the fact that players with the exception of Winston don't want to come here, and the players that are here want out.

You can say he sucked but so has the defensive play calling! So it's hard to say if he just had a bad year or he played in a crap defense!
So whose going to replace Routt?
Routt was one that was really hurt by the HORRIBLE coaching on this team. He will never be a great player but I don't think he's as bad as he played this year. IMO
One thing I don't understand is why didn't they just put Dorsey on IR, that way they could of kept Routt and added Smith.
I have been hearing that Routt has been trouble in the locker room. I am not sure if that is true or not but it very well could be.
That would explain why they just cut him. It's the only thing that really makes sense to me really. If Dorsey is going to be out a long time might as well just hold him out and not risk anymore injury the seasons already over I just can't think of anything else.
It wasn't really this year, but you have to look to 2013 too. Someone else had the same question earlier in the year and I did some research. Based on Carr's current contract, 33% of the Chiefs cap would have been spent next year on Hali/Flowers/Berry/Carr (4 players).
Hali - $12.25M
Flowers - $7.35M
Berry - $7M
Carr - $14.3M
Total = $40.6M (cap is $120.6M)
Agreed 100%. We had a great chemistry going on with our secondary and Pioli, through inaction managed to fix something that wasn't broken. Imho that whole "We have to lose Bowe or Carr, can't keep both" situation was stoked by Pioli all the way, trying to be cheap.
