Does it matter?

How does Watkins carry 21M in cap ... that's crazy.

$38M total between him and Watkins.

Because he was never gonna see the third year

His salary (14 mil.) plus 1/3 of 21 mil. signing bonus. (7 mil.) There’s the cap hit.

Jones is franchised tagged at $16.5 mil. so there’s your $37.5 mil. right there.


Chiefs will either re-do Sammy’s deal with an extension or cut him.

Jones will get traded or a long term deal with a low first year base. Those two moves will free up a significant amount of cap space for KC. It’s just a matter of how long it takes those 2 things to get done. I can’t imagine they will let it linger past the draft.

Also, it’s pretty much a given at this point that nothing is being done with Mahomes contract until next season, which Veach and his agent originally put a 12-18 month timeline on it when discussing it before the Super Bowl. I mean, they could do something on it, but I would be surprised at this point . . . . .

Good summary.

I believe the Watkins situation is resolved first. If KC wants to make more free agent moves, including retention of their own players, I anticipate a Watkins extension or release, and relatively soon.

Wait until the draft with no cap room and we risk losing important depth pieces like Pennel and Breeland.

We almost made it to SB 53 with one of the worst defences ever. As long as Mahomes is leading us we are legendary.

Pennel is staying.

I wonder what Breeland is asking for. He is worth bringing back at the right price. 6-8m per or less for a 3 year deal.
