So this says after rookies the Chiefs should have about 26 mil in cap space with about 55 in cash. What the hell does that mean?
It's actually $23M, I believe, because of PPE (there's a thread about it in the draft forum). And $15M of that will be taken up by Ford. So it's actually more like $8M.

From what I can tell "cash" is the number the team would have to spend to maintain their spending level. The Chiefs averaged 101% spending vs. the cap over the last 3 years. To match that level of spending this year, they'd have to spend $55M, which they clearly do not have.

This is why I've been saying I don't think they do much in free agency, especially if they tag, but don't trade, Ford.
