Per OTC, we had $12,594 this year, so the rollover would still make it $2.6 million.
Here’s the money we’d save from moves we’ve made:
Alex trade-$17 million
Peters trade-$1.7 million
DJ-$0 (voided contract)
Parker cut-$4.9 million
So as of now I believe that should put us at $26.2 million (if this is not accurate let me know).
Other potential moves coming:
Tamba cut-$7.6 million
Nelson trade?-$1.9 million
Sorenson cut-$3.8 million (post June 1st)
Bailey cut-$5.9 million
Ford 5th yr option TBD-$8.7 million
That’s....a lot of money to spend. And it’s not counting the cap rise |
Well, a few things:
1. For the love of God, use this website:
https://overthecap.com/calculator/kansas-city-chiefs/
2. "not counting the cap rise". Actually, ti does. The OTC website I liked estimates the cap at $179.6M, which is a reasonable but not very conservative estimate.
3. Cutting the above players, ignoring the Ford option impact, results in the Chiefs having nearly $40 million of cap space. Quite alot, but need to set aside some for draft picks and mid-year flexibility. Will also need to be mindful that if Mahomes performs very well, he is going to be looking for a substantial bump and extending him next offseason might be alot cheaper than waiting for him to complete his fourth year.
But yeah, some bucks to spend it looks like.
