This is not a selling point for the Chiefs - it's a liability. Having a cushy, secure job is not the same as having an opportunity to succeed.
That $30 million unspent says the Chiefs are unwilling to compete financially. Unless Hunt guarantees the next GM he'll spend to the limit, guys who want to actually WIN will go somewhere else.

I don't blame you for making that reach. If I were a Broncos, Raiders, or Chargers fan I'd definitely want to forget that the NFL is what it is today because of Lamar Hunt and the Hunt family. They were in cap hell just 3 years ago and have suffered through a rebuild in order to put themselves in this position. You can rest assured knowing that while the Chiefs may not compete in the next 3 years it won't be because they didn't spend the money or try.
It's interesting to me watching everyone on the Mane say that Mike Shannahan would never end up in KC because he won't coach for a team that's not committed to winning. That's wishful thinking if I've ever heard it. I'll laugh my ass off through 4 bannings on that site if Mike Shannahan ends up with the Chiefs.
