That's a lot of money for a few good starts. They obviously had to pay the man but yikes. The cost of doing business with QBs is crazy.

Did they protect themselves like they did with the Kaepernick deal?

Chiefs release Darrelle Revis
Posted by Josh Alper on February 8, 2018, 4:56 PM EST


Cornerback Darrelle Revis is a free agent once more.

The NFL’s daily transaction wire brings word that the Chiefs have released the veteran cornerback. Revis signed with the Chiefs late in the regular season and had a contract for 2018 that called for him to make an $8.8 million roster bonus and $10 million in guaranteed money overall if he was on the roster at the start of the 2018 league year.

Revis played five games for the Chiefs in the regular season and made 11 tackles. He also played in their playoff loss to the Titans and batted a Marcus Mariota pass back to the Titans quarterback that wound up as a touchdown when Mariota advanced into the end zone.

Revis said last month that he wants to continue playing, but didn’t show much more than he did during a rough 2016 season with the Jets. That could leave this as the end of the line for a player who spent several years in his first Jets stint as one of the top defensive players in the game.

They kind of did. Basically they loaded it all onto the first two years. So, if he doesn't perform, they can basically walk away.

Very good work by the 49ers.

We all laughed at the John Lynch hire, but some of his moved (including this one) have been smart.

The contracts are likely outside of his realm. The 49ers have dedicated guys for that.

And, let the CJ Anderson to Dallas rumors fly.

No offense but there isn't anything special about the contracts. The 49ers have the most cap room in the NFL. Or at least they did have the most cap room at well over 100 mil. So front loading the contract isn't a big deal at all. They simply are making the bonus money hit now instead of in the future. Other NFL teams do the opposite because they don't have the cap room. They make the bonus money hit in the future instead of all at the beginning.

And they report up to him. Plus he has to sign off on all the moves it's not out of the realm of possibility he was heavily involved in making this happen.

I imagine there's some backstory to this because teams don't generally cut their leading rusher for nothing. Maybe they're trying to gain some cap space or maybe he's up for a new contract. Don't care, pass.

They clear about 4.5 mil in cap space and frankly need the money to make a bid for a big time QB like Cousins in free agency. So it's not really surprising.

Fair point. "Franchise" RBs aren't as hard to come by as QBs.
