most players will restructure ANY time the team wants them to. The players usually MAKE money on restructures because they get more money upfront.

all the team has to do is ask unless they are trying force a salary cut.


what matters is whether team is willing spend more money or not ...... Lamar hunt is not a free spender.

How am I putting the cap situation on the players?

If you think the Chiefs are going to mortgage their future to fill your FA wish list, you're going to be disappointed. They've never done it in the past, and they aren't going to start in a year of uncertainty. Every player that they restructure is either going to burden the cap this year, or in future years. Either way, they are going to affect the cap. You act like it's just a matter of opening the checkbook, but it still hits the cap at some point.

They spent big last year. They've spent big retaining our veteran offense. The Chiefs are never going to be active in free agency year in and year out. It's not how the organization is run. I'd think after watching this team for the 13 years under the salary cap, you would have realized that by now.
