Magical cap dollars sound great.

Actually, that might be the most painless part for the Chiefs. With all the wiggle-room built into the process, the cap is easily manipulated. Right now the Chiefs have a formal Cap Space of $5,856,396. That would more than cover someone like Antoine Bethea (FS), if the Cards are willing to trade. Players get restructured all the time. It can often be as easy as converting some salary to bonus. Player gets the money sooner and the team gets added cap space. I won't pretend to know all the arcane intricacies of the NFL salary cap. But I do know that teams manipulate the numbers quite frequently to make room for a new signing or extension.

OK ... I can relate, man. Restructure who, exactly? (Again, not trying to be an ass here ... just honestly curious and awash with wonderment.)

EB? Fiddy? LTD? All of them?

If you're going to enact a trade, you also need trading capital. That's picks, right? Are we seriously going all in with picks and found money (via restructuring) this year? We have The Human Trebuchet on rookie dollars for a whole bunch of years here.

Keep in mind, we need to sign Hill and Conley (I hope) and a few other guys like #95.

I'm all for it ... if we can figure out a way to do it ... just having trouble with that last part.

Those are valid questions/concerns. We do have a few key players to resign, as you said. But the Chiefs (as of current numbers) are going to eliminate over $18M in dead money in 2019. That includes dead money we're still paying for A.Smith, J.Maclin, D.Johnson, T.Hali, M.Peters, J.Reid, D.Amerson, C.West, et al. That should go a long way towards eliminating most cap issues for next year.

For right now, they could get by with little to no restructuring of current contracts... unless they go out and get a marquee, high-priced player. But someone like D.Ford would be a good candidate. He's making $8.7M in base salary. That could be converted to a bonus and the cap would jump up considerable. Houston, Fisher, Berry, Kelce are the highest paid players left, but I'm not sure how their contracts would be redone to gain cap space.
