You're assuming that they could get the players to renegotiate even with out the bargaining tool of no CBA/limited cap.
I think that's a big assumption.
It's one thing for players to look around the league and see that all the teams are being hampered this year, and be sympathetic to the situation the Chiefs are in. It's something entirely different for them to just flat out agree to take a pay cut.
The other side, if they are simply restructures without pay cuts, is that the team probably doesn't want to do it unless they have to. It may be a matter of mortgaging the future. I'm sure the FO doesn't want to do that unless it's absolutely neccessary.
