Even with rolling over $10 million (and it's most likely closer to $5 million), they're still $1 million over. If they rollover nothing, they'd be $6 million over.

They have decisions to make with Peters and Morse in 2018 and in 2019, Tyreek Hill and Dee Ford.

They're not even close to being out of cap hell.

I don't get where you are coming from brother?

According to OTC, they are projected to be 6.5 million over, if the cap increases by a projected 11 million, with DJ, Hali, and Smith all still on the roster... So, let's say the cap doesn't change a bit, they are 17.5 million over. DJ, Hali, and Smith save you that 32 million, putting them roughly 14.5 million to the good. They'll probably be close to that $25 million to the good plus any cap rollover, so probably 3-4 million give or take, giving them probably 29 million to the good. Jah Reid was just cut, which saves another 3.2 million off of next year's cap, putting them at roughly 32 million to the good. Even if the cap doesn't change (doubtful), they'd still be close to 21 million to the good. Why are the Chiefs in cap hell?
