NFL Salary Cap Number up to 123.9 million
Chris Mortensen @mortreport
Teams get more money to spend - salary cap for new league year is $123.9 million per team after accounting of league revenues, per sources. [/edited] for more specific info about Chiefs BY ADAM TEICHER The Kansas City Star The Chiefs have 2013 salary cap commitments of more than $129 million, a total that exceeds the NFL’s expected limit of $123 million, according to figures provided to The Kansas City Star. But the Chiefs will be about $7.5 million under the salary cap when the league year begins on March 12 because they have $14 million of unused cap space from the 2012 season to carry over into 2013. That effectively makes the Chiefs’ 2013 salary cap about $137 million. The $129 million figure includes the salary of quarterback Alex Smith, who will be acquired in a trade from the San Francisco 49ers once the league trading period begins on March 12. For the time being, Smith’s salary cap number of $9.75 million is being carried by the 49ers and not the Chiefs, though The Star has included Smith in the Chiefs’ calculation. Starting March 12, each team’s top 51 salaries plus so-called “dead money” will count against the cap. The Chiefs’ top 51 salaries, including Smith, total $121,474,975 and they have paid $8,084,145 in dead money, which includes salary cap figures for players who were either released last year or voided the 2013 season from their contract. That equals $129,559,120, which is $6,559,120 over the cap. But the Chiefs will carry over $14,079,650 in unused cap money from 2012, leaving them $7,520,530 of cap space. Not including the contract of Smith, the Chiefs have more than $17 million of salary cap room. The Chiefs can clear plenty more space under the salary cap by releasing defensive end Tyson Jackson. His salary cap number is almost $17.5 million and he is due a base salary of about $14.7 million. Jackson would cost the Chiefs about $2.5 million if he is released. But that move would still save them about $15 million against their salary cap. The Chiefs would also save almost $6 million against their cap when they trade or release quarterback Matt Cassel. The Chiefs are going to need some cap room. They are trying to re-sign, among their other potential free agents, wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, punter Dustin Colquitt and tackle Branden Albert. If they can’t re-sign Bowe, he is likely to be named as the Chiefs’ franchise player. While that would effectively keep him off the free-agent market, the Chiefs at the same time would be required to offer Bowe a one-year contract worth $11.4 million. That figure is an automatic 20 percent raise from his 2012 salary because he would be a franchise player for the second straight season. If the Chiefs can sign Bowe to a long-term contract, they may use the franchise designation on Albert, who then would be offered a one-year deal worth about $9.83 million. If the Chiefs are going to designate a franchise player, they must do so by Monday. Chiefs’ 2013 salary cap figures
*Cap number includes various bonuses **Husain Abdullah and Daniel Muir have salaries larger than their cap numbers because each is playing under a one-year veteran minimum contract. “Dead money” In addition to their players under contract, NFL teams are obligated to count bonus money paid to players who were either released last year or had the 2013 season from their contract against the cap. The Chiefs have 17 players who received a total of $8,084,145 in so-called “dead money.”
Out of contract The following players have no contract for 2013: OT Branden Albert WR Dwayne Bowe P Dustin Colquitt DB Travis Daniels DL Glenn Dorsey DB Abram Elam LS Thomas Gafford OL Russ Hochstein RB Peyton Hillis LB Edgar Jones OL Ryan Lilja TE Steve Maneri OL Bryan Mattison DB Kyle McCarthy TE Jake O’Connell DL Ropati Pitoitua QB Brady Quinn TE Martin Rucker LB Brandon Siler DL Shaun Smith LB Leon Williams To reach Adam Teicher, call 816-234-4875 or send email to ateicher@kcstar.com.

Should probably change the title to read "league wide". I thought that was the Chiefs current cap number which I knew wasn't possible.

It also doesn't count what they save cutting Matt Cassel or cutting/restructuring Tyson Jackson.

God, once we cut Matt Cassel and restructure Tyson Jackson, we'll extend Alex Smith and still have $50 million to play with.

Not really Just cutting Cassel and Jackson brings number to 35.6m. Alex Smith 9.5 and if they Tag Bowe that's 12m. Chiefs are looking at 14m under cap after all the moves.
