Some contracts and how that could affect Chiefs roster decisions -
QB Chad Henne is either $2M (overthecap.com) or $3.265M (spotrac.com) of dead money if cut. All money guaranteed.
Chiefs try to trade Shane Buechele and if that does not work, they waive and try to sign to Practice Squad.
LB Jermaine Carter Jr. will cost $1.77M to cut or $735K of dead money to trade with a savings of $1.035M
Chiefs make an effort to trade but probably cut and have the $1.77M of dead money.
RB Ronald Jones II would cost $750K of dead money to cut and $250 to trade.
Unless a better RB option emerges for Chiefs, Jones will make 53-man roster.
DT Taylor Stallworth will cost $300K of dead money to release and they save $747K. Trading would save $1,047,500. Chiefs try to trade or release.
OT Darian Kinnard will cost $358,404 of dead money and they would save $436,197. A trade would result in the same cap numbers.
Kinnard will be waived and maybe signed to Practice Squad.
DE Joshua Kaindoh being waived would result in $374,508 of dead money and a savings of $575,328.
DE Malik Herring being waived would result in $16,667 of dead money and a savings of $696,666
Chiefs will make a decision on value of keeping either DE or look for other options.
