If he does nothing over the next 2 years but smoke weed and fall down stairs, this is still a smart move. The money isn't guaranteed so they can cut him whenever. The cap hit is negligible even when he gets off the NFI list. There's no downside to it at all. He's probably an idiot but hey, he'll be an idiot with 5 years in the system under his belt at the end of this deal. Maybe he won't be quite so braindead at that point.

If he makes the squad next year, even though his contract will pay him approximately $960k, as a 4 year NFL veteran, he'll only count $760k against the cap in 2016 and in 2017, $775k.

Zero guaranteed money for Bray, zero downside for the Chiefs.
