Workout bonuses totaling $2.11M

That structure keeps Thuney's 2021 cap number at just $4.5M.

KC still has room to work with in free agency.

Gotta spread the credit around.

Clark Hunt writing checks that are breaking necks! Without him signing those big signing bonuses, we wouldn’t have the cap flexibility year in and year out to bring in top talents with minimal initial cap hits.

We probably still have come to 30m in cap space, right?
