Convert Mahomes full salary into a signing bonus. $66M cap hit becomes as low as $11M. Chiefs can do whatever they want through the end of Mahomes deal, and as long as he’s Mahomes they’ll keep adding years, but sometime in the distant future we’re going to field a team with half the cap but who cares about 10+ years from now?
Bottom line is we have plenty of dollars available if we need them.
Also, regarding signing a LT, if we get someone on a Staley sized deal and structure it like we did with Creed you’re looking at cap hits of $6M, then $12M, then $18M the first three years so, again, all very doable.
