Creative teams can create cap space in the present by planning for the future. The one key is the willingness to expend immediate cash, something the Chiefs have not generally been willing to do.

If the Chiefs extend Smith, Houston, and Berry (and it sounds like it's something they really want to do), then for the first 3 years of the Dorsey era we are probably going to have a very healthy 3-year spending level.
And you are completely assuming that the Chiefs won't spend future money when their cap situation looks more promising. I've seen nothing that hints that the Chiefs' long-term strategy is that for future years, they want to stay way below the cap.
