With a floor around 108 mil. So you can figure the Chiefs not to spend more than around 110 mil by thier history. So then you are talking about 35 mil to spend not 45 mil to spend.

$7.5M goes to Cassel
If we lock up all the free agents we need to re-sign (Tamba, Carr, Gilberry, Shaun Smith, others...) with some front-loading, offer some back-end incentives to veterans, and sign all our rookies, that's a good chunk of the rest.
And I wouldn't hold back the idea that Brandon Flowers could hold out--getting paid $555,000 in the last year of his contract, given that he's had some injuries... hell yeah he's going to try to cash in this year. So rather than reach in the bottom of the well to overpay role players, why not get ahead and secure those guys to longer-term contracts today?
