It was a great listen tbh.

Just came on here to post the same. It is a great listen.
The Schwartz idea he had was to put him on a roster incentive where he is paid for each time he is on the roster. This wouldn't be put at all on next year's cap as he would be deemed not likely. It would allow him to prove his fitness to us without impacting the cap and could allow him to get fit and play but with no risk to the Chiefs. Saves $6.9m on the cap.
With Fisher he said we could cut him or offer him a vet minimum deal instead of cutting him. He isn't going to get an offer anywhere else so he would likely accept and would be good to show other players that we would look after them. Saves $11m on the cap.
We can easily save money by restructuring Mahomes ($17.3m) and Kelce ($9.1m).
We can also save on the cap by extending Hill ($9.7m) and Mathieu ($10.9m.)
Says the Chiefs seem reluctant to extend or restructure Jones or Clark even though doing so will reduce our cap. They don't seem to want to push the issue down the road.
The $39m he mentioned being under the cap is the most we have been under entering free agency and the draft for the last 4-5 years.
Was a reassuring listen given how everyone is stressing about the draft.
