KC Chefs

I think that a 17 Game Regular Season schedule, with each team having nine home games and eight away games every other year, will present unforeseen significant issues that will result in an eventual return to a 16 game schedule or progression to an 18 game schedule. I don’t foresee any significant impact on the standings as the standings are based on a win – loss percentage rather than solely on the basis of wins and losses. At the end of the day the 17 game schedule will probably prevail but I hope that it does not.
An expansion in playoff teams will water down the talent of the teams in the playoffs just as it has in the NHL and the NBA. The present set up is perfect, and as you said, swimcris, if it aint broke, don’t fix it. At the end of the day this proposal will when out with overwhelming support for it from second tier teams.

The Chiefs will most likely not participate in the first several days of Free Agency, as they will have their hands full trying to retain their own key free agents.

A 17 game season must include at least two byes and as much as I like watching Chiefs games almost every week, three byes would allow teams to cope with a 17 game regular season schedule; might reduce the number of injuries; and would allow injured players more time to heal without missing more games. Three byes would also allow me two more Sundays of golf.

That said, it seems to me that fairest was to do it would be that the 17th game must be between teams in each conference so as to limit the adverse impact in the standings in each conference. For example, by applying the above example, in year one the Chiefs would play an NFC team whose prior season record is close to the prior season record of the Chiefs.

That’s curious!

21 days
Once a player on the PUP starts practicing, they have a maximum of 21 days to take that player off the PUP list and onto either the active or inactive list. However, if a player practices during training camp or is taken off the Active/PUP list, he is no longer allowed to be designated to the Reserve/PUP list.

There’s no way that they would tag him without that assurance, as to do so would thoroughly piss him off.

I may be wrong on the required length of the PUP.

Can the Chiefs sign Chris Jones and trade or extend Sammy Watkins at any time or do they have to wait until the start of the new league year?
Thanks.
I think that they can do either at any time but I’n not sure of that.

would most likely appreciate that.

they will be in a good position to place the Franchise Tag and Transition Tag on guys like Breeland and others. So if the Chiefs intend to sign Jones by finding ways to fit under the Cap, they should sign Jones before Free Agency.

That said, they will find a way to keep Jones and they will trade Watkins for a 2nd round draft pick.

it seems to me that that will be the reason Sammy stays with the Chiefs on a contract extension.
