What do the Chiefs do w/ the extra cap space?

I think it would have been nifty to simply trade for Kendricks then let DJ walk and give the money that we've normally been allocating to him the past 5 seasons over to Kendricks, but obviously Dorsey didn't see it that way, or he didn't view Kendricks as someone worth spending that amount of money to do the quality of work that DJ has done for many seasons.

Also a possibility - the Chiefs may just feel he's not quite as good a fit as I thought.

Like I said - there are non-monetary reasons that he's not in KC, IMO.
