Patrick Surtain’s cap number for 2008 is over eight million dollars. That is two million more than the next highest player paid player on the Chiefs roster Brian Waters. Surtain's stat line for last year 61 tackles and two interceptions. To put that in perspective the Chiefs paid Jarrad Page $400,000 for 64 tackles and three interceptions.

The Big Question Is
What would the cap hit next year be if we release him? We’re not going to the playoffs this year, we’re below the salary cap as is. There’s not really a huge downside to keeping Surtain, even if he is washed up. But if we cut him it could put a huge hit on our cap next season. If he’s terrible this year, we’ve got young cornerbacks who could use the playing time anyway so he can ride the bench or help mentor them.
Supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting something evil.
