The 33 players under contract isn't as bad as it sounds either.
Lammons, Townsend and Wharton are all RFAs, Fortson and Tega Wanogho are EFRAs
That's 38 players, and then even with some trade ups in the draft they Chiefs are still probably drafting 7 guys, and you are at 45/53 with minimal cap expended.
That doesn't even count the cheap 1 year deals the Chiefs always do, e.g Burton, a veteran DE, maybe Saunders, bringing Bush, Bell back etc.
