What do the Chiefs do w/ the extra cap space? (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=293428)

In regards to berry. Coming off his treatment, if you could be somewhat sure he's healthy, with all they've done for him which is respectable, maybe you could get him for less. He may want a prove it type thing, but that would be fine.

Frankly, I don't know that he'll play again but who knows

I'd have no issue with paying Berry around $7-8 million a year if he's healthy.

Don't you think they'd have found a way to make it work if they'd have been able to reach an agreement on compensation with Philly? There's still the NFI option for Berry if it came to that.

Kendricks only has a base salary of $900K. Any signing bonus goes on Philly's cap. Cutting Zombo, McCray or JMJ would've freed up enough to fit Kendricks in and one of those guys would be going anyway due to roster constraints.

Kendricks isn't a money issue and I don't think not having him signed to an extension would keep the Chiefs from making a deal either; afterall, there's plenty of time and if he costs you a 3rd, well that's not cost prohibitive for a guy that would be a perfect scheme fit in a year where the Chiefs are possibly ready to take a leap forward this season.

You don't trade a premium pick like a 2 or 3 for a guy unless you have an extension in place for him. I think KC was focused on getting a deal with Houston done before looking to spend money elsewhere.

Kendrick's is the guy I hope they're targeting because Andy has history with him and we now have the $.

If our linebackers end up being DJ, Hali, Ford, Houston and Kendricks.....just, wow. We might have the top defense in the league in 2015.

I'd they're dead set on spending the money, fine. I'd rather put it into the offense with possible extensions to Kelce or whatever.

Even if they wanna spend it, the offense needs more. Hell, call up someone with a wr they may wanna part with.

The pics of him currently look like the chemo has taken its toll. Any extension would need a very low first year salary and a considerable roster bonus in year 2...and you really can't give him huge guarantees because of the uncertainty of his ability when he returns as well as the possibility of the cancer returning.

I'd love it if they traded for Kendrick's and maybe get Mathis on a cheap deal, since the market for him isn't as big as he had hoped.

I mean he just got done getting blasted with chemicals and radiation...I don't think he's quite back to "healthy" in a football sense. Give it another year.

I meant when he comes back.....not now.

Dorsey sure seems like he made that extra space to be able to "get more deals done" -his words

I highly doubt they created the space to sit on it.

Like dj said. I'd rather just hold onto it for future potential deals and whatnot

Don't worry about it.

The new rollover provisions of the cap make spare cap space something you can use, essentially, whenever you need it.

There's no pressing, desperate need to burn it on Evan Mathis or a trade candidate. Hold it. Keep doing what you're doing with the guys on the squad - keep the lines open for potential extensions, etc.... and in the meantime remember that since you back-loaded that deal, having a little buffer for the $20 million cap hit that Houston will carry in 2 years may not be a bad thing.

Don't go all 'lotto winner' and look for ways to spend it. Business as usual should be the way to approach it and if you can find a veteran willing to play on a 1-year deal under value (Gresham is a nice name), so be it.

Dan Snyder says to shut your whore mouth!

In order:

1)WR
2) RG
3) ILB...
