Chiefs are 63m under the cap

So if I understand this. The Chiefs have 31 extra million dollars over the actual cap because they were so far under last year. Which means if they spent more than that $31mil they would have to cut whatever they overspent next season. Seems like a pretty stupid thing to do unless you are signing the players to 1 year rentals for a 1 year shot at the SB.

Front load some contracts, give out bonuses all this year...

Something like we did with Cassel.

I think I remember hearing something from Pioli's mouth saying the reason they rolled over that money from last year was to sign free agents this offseason, specifically Bowe and Carr.

I'm not sure about what would happen like what you said tho.
