Chiefs Trades accelerate the cap hit.

I was just thinking about the 'trades' that may happen with the Chiefs. DJ would actually save the Chiefs cap space.

But, the trade for Dorsey would be a significant hit to the cap for the Chiefs.

Considering they are millions away from the salary floor, could this be a motivation?

If the Chiefs do not spend the salary floor, they can be penalized draft picks.

So, they can take the full hit from trading Dorsey and that probably puts them over the minimum.... and takes the pressure off of them trying to figure out how to spend the minimum extending the players they already have.

So, am I reaching here, or do you think it might play into it?
