Either you didn't read what I wrote or you didn't understand it.
Remmers is a Vested Veteran. His salary is guaranteed ONLY if he's on the roster Week 1. If he's not on the roster Week 1 the Chiefs owe him nothing and he has a ZERO cap number. For salary cap purposes, he counts toward the 51 as of today.
The reason for the $137k, which is the same for Sherman, Hamilton and Pennel, is because the Veteran Minimum for guys with 10 years service is $1,050,000 dollars but if they're on the roster for Week 1, there's a exemption of $137k.
The Chiefs are not on the hook for any of those salaries or Dead Money unless they're on the roster the first week of the season.
