That and the Chiefs don't have 44 out of 53 roster spots kicking rocks next season. These are mostly camp bodies that are gone this year anyhow.
The ones that will probably stand a good chance at making the roster are:
R. Nunez-Roches - RFA
R. Wilson - RFA
J. March-Lillard - RFA
T. Mitchell - UFA
A. Sherman - UFA
C. Santos - UFA
D. Colquitt - UFA
J. Jenkins - UFA
B. Logan - UFA
T. Bray - UFA
P. Gaines - UFA
D. Thomas - UFA
K. Pierre-Lewis - UFA
Z. Fulton - UFA
A. Wilson - UFA
That's 15. Of that group, basically you have RNR and Wilson probably getting the 1.8 million ROFR tenders. Mitchell and Santos I can see being signed. Maybe Colquitt. I have my doubts on the rest, less Logan who is a wildcard. Alot of bottom of the barrel type guys here that you just aren't going to spend much capital on. Probably will replace most with vet minimum types. The $25 million you've outlined is probably going to be plenty to cover their current projection of $4.4 over and these signings.

25? Actually more like 20.
Ron Parker and Bailey (unless he's toast) aren't getting released. If you're keeping tinyhands, than DJ Hali and Jah Reid are your primary cuts and with rollover minus cash because we'll likely sign guys to cover injuries during the year..you're looking at 20.
I'd anticipate they would keep Santos at an avg of 3/year so you're down to 17. Budget at least 3 for the year to sign during the year and you're down to 14.
Ramik will be 1.8 so down to about 12. If you have big plans for nacho, will prob want to 2nd round tend which puts you down to 9.5. Will probably want to keep Bray 1 one year, so down to 8.5.
Extending Mitchell will run at least 5 mil for year 1 likely, so down to 3.5. Nobody said rookies cost tens of millions, but they aren't free either.
They would have practicality 0 space to make any additional moves after that till Alex is gone.
They aren't going to handcuff upgrading the team around Mahomes to maybe get a day 2/3 pick eventually. This also isn't Madden and they aren't going to be a dick to Alex.
