Here is my Samari Rolle contract offer - could it get him?

[nicfre]

If I where the General Manager for the Chiefs, here is a contract that I would consider offering to Samari Rolle and his agent upon passing a physical exam. It is basically a 6 year contract with a $13.5 million dollar signing bonus and a $4 million roster bonus due after the third year. This contract in reality is a 3 year deal that will require the Chiefs to have Rolle either restructure the contract or cut him, so the last two years are very unlikely to be reached as is. Also, I took a page from the Minnesota Vikings and included some performance bonuses that if not met, will be credited to the next year's cap total of each contract year in which the performance bonuses aren't met. They total about $500,000-$425,000 per year maximum. Check it out and let me know if you think this is realistic and if it could get Rolle into a Chiefs uniform or atleast make us competitive for his services.

I personally like your work but it is too late , skins just signed him . The chiefs better do something or they will miss out on players again.

Make the trade and land surtain, forget Law, sign trotter or hartwell, hopefully hartwell, and get some cheap guys, okefore etc.

Okay. Let's say that Rolle to WAS is true. I can't see any way they could hold on to Smoot. How about trying to get him?
