If the rules are only by salaries and the Chiefs don't have to change as htismaqe says, they will continue being cheap.

You will notice that many of the players signed the last few years (DJ, JC etc..) have smaller bonus $ hitting the cap. They paid the bulk of the $ up front. Hali and Flowers are early in their 2nd contracts and have big bonus $ this season still.
The $ aren't out of line with other teams anyway.
