Some details about LDT's contract.

LDT's current cap number is $4,750,000 for 2021. The Chiefs if they cut him, would have $6,750,000 of Dead money, because the contract is set up to pay an additional $2,000,000 in 2022.

If the cut him post June 1, they would have $4,750,000 of dead money. with the additional $2,000,000 cap hit in 2022.

BUT...

We could trade LDT post June 1. We would save $2,750,000 of cap space and have $2,000,000 of Dead money for 2021 and $2,000,000 of dead money in 2022.

I think the probability is that LDT will be on the Chiefs roster for 2021.
