Let’s talk about the Salary Cap, and teams uses of it

[RunKC]

Imagine the Chiefs still paying Frank Clark dead money this year bc of void years?

Imagine paying Jawaan Taylor dead money in 2027 when he’s been off the team bc we utilized void years?

Imagine paying Justin Reid dead money in 2025 and 2026 when he’s off the team?

This board would melt down if we did that. It’s infinitely better to simply pay them higher cap hits so that you can get them off the books clean/minimal damage rather than paying guys to not play for you.

Anyone who thinks dead money doesn’t matter look at the Broncos. Richest owners in the league by far and they couldn’t spend on FA’s this year bc of Russell Wilson’s enormous dead money.
