You don't attract free agents by having a bunch of cap space. You attract them with upfront cash money. That doesn't always necessarily hit the cap in the first year of the contract.
The Chiefs have always been one of those teams reluctant to spend the cash. Considering the amount the Hunts spent last offseason, this year isn't surprising.

Well now people are saying it the right way.
Disagree with the chiefs cap management. I don't like what they did last year either. But it's not because the chiefs are cheap. They just have a more conservative cap philosophy than some agree with. People were acting like other teams with bigger pockets are able to afford to spend more. Everybody plays by the same cap and every dollar spent counts against the cap at some point.
