CB Chris Owens

OG Jeff Linkenbach

OT Ryan Harris
TE Philip Supernaw
WR Jason Avant (unless he turns into something, we'l see)

Cut...

OG Jeff Allen
S Sanders Commings
DE Mike DeVito
RB Cyrus Gray
WR AJ Jenkins
LB Derrick Johnson
FS Eric Berry (likely retirement I'm guessing)
WR Donnie Avery
WR Dwayne Bowe
QB Chase Daniel
LB Joe Mays
LB Tamba Hali

Long list I know...

Would plan to re-sign/tender...
S Ron Parker (and leave him at freakin FS)
DE Kevin Vickerson (only if he'll sign a 1 year vet min contract to allow KC to use the 570k vet cap rule)
LB Justin Houston
LB James-Michael Johnson
LB Josh Mauga
LB Josh Martin (ERFA tender)
LS Thomas Gafford
OC Rodney Hudson
WR Frankie Hammond (RFA tender)
WR Junior Hemmingway (ERFA tender)
TE Demetrius Harris (ERFA tender)
RB Joe McKnight


Free Agent targets currently on my radar... will expand...

ILB David Harris - NYJ (30 years old) likely contract about 6 mil per
OG James Carpenter - SEA (25 years old) likely contract about 7 mil per
WR Cecil Shorts - JAX (25 years old) likely contract about 2.5 mil per
WR Denarius Moore - OAK (25 years old) likely contract about 1.5 mil per
WR Jeremy Maclin - PHI (26 years old) likely contract 7 mil per
CB Devon House - GB (25 years old) likely contract 8.5 mil per

*likely contracts are my guess based on other contract/performance but may not be accurate

With cuts, Chiefs can likely afford about 7-8 million in free agency.
With re-signings and current roster, Chiefs would be at 45 players. Have 11 draft picks. Can add dumpster signings and 1 or 2 decent FA.

Could free up 1.95 mil with Fasano, 1.75 mil with Walker, 5.5 mil with Sean Smith if they wanted.

More drinks to come.
Yeah, it's a long list.

I've explained many times, you can free up cap space by signing players to contracts with a delayed bonus. First, you're cutting way too many players who are quality depth. Why get rid of guys like Allen who is a quality depth swing lineman, or Owens who is cheap corner depth? Second, this is all a panic reaction because of current cap situation. If you restructure a few base salaries in 2014, trim some fat, and sign guys like Houston to contracts with a high bonus and a deferred bonus in year 2 or 3, cap problem solved.
