The salary cap is expected to jump at least $50 million in 2022 due to the new broadcasting rights deals and teams will get an additional shot in the arm once the gambling revenues are added to the salary cap.
It's been mentioned in the press that Reid and Veach would like to extend Mathieu soon and I'd imagine they'll keep Ward when his deal is up as well.
The Chiefs have Fisher under contract for the 2020 and 2021 season so if Niang doesn't pan out before Fisher's contract expires, I'd expect to see a reasonable deal for Fisher or some draft maneuvering in order to secure another left tackle that can start for 10 years.
I doubt they'll want to drop $18-$20 on Fisher.
