Re: Khai Harley - Assistant General Manager/Vice President of Football Operations
Big irony that Chase Daniel a backup QB known for getting paid big bucks over the years to not play called Khai one of the very best in the game, after Khai has helped pay countless millions to Michael Thomas, Jameis Winston, Andrus Peat, and Taysom Hill to not play / not start / remain injured.
Nothing Khai does is vital. A 1st grader with a little training could learn the basic math of converting a $21 million salary to a $1 million salary and $20 million restructuring bonus and prorating the $20 million over 4 or 5 years at $5 or $4 million year year. Its not wizardry, its basic math that happy fools call wizardry because they dont want to look at what it means we owe later and how that ties us down to the player forever, because that would ruin the magic of free money. Beyond borrowing money with 1st grade math. All Khai knows how to do is negotiate contracts. What is his masterpiece? Taysom Hill at like $15 million a year for a few gadget plays and a backup TE? Andrus Peat for $10 million a year? Keeping Andrus Peat this year for $6 million (about 500-600k per game)? Getting Michael Thomas to take an amazing pay cut to $10 million base salary and $4 million in bonuses so a guy who hasn't been healthy in 4 years is only making $14 million? Converting basically all of Kamara and Maye's base salaries to guaranteed bonuses so suspensions would cost them next to nothing our cap could take the hit for their actions? If only we could give Khai promotions for all these amazing successes and just make him King of the Saints for life. I hope this promotion gets Khai looked at for a GM post with one of our division rivals. That would be a win. His main skills are borrowing money and signing bad contracts. Ireland is the real talent in our front office. Overall we don't have a top front office. The teams that are actually winning rings in the last 12 years without mortgaging their cap to the max are the ones with the best front offices. We have the most debt, what we are the best at is borrowing money from future caps, but all we have to show for it is 7-10 and heroic stories of better records from the past when we had a HOF QB. Yes Guido, as you suspect, this post is negative. |
