You know whats kinda cool to think about with that 63 million dollar figure?
After signing Flowers, DJ, Hali and Charles to big extensions...we still have that much space because we structured the contracts to leave that much space. These guys are structuring these deals so that we have more money to spend in the future (that we have to spend). I think we are about to be like kids running down the steps Christmas morning to see all the gifts for the first time in forever once free agency starts.

The good teams build almost exclusively through the draft. Indy Pittsburgh Giants Baltimore I can't think of a single GOOD team that uses FA as a major resource of player aquisition. Wayyyy more times than not, FA signings end up as straight up fools gold. Quote:
The cap floor isn't in place, but teams do have to spend the cash. Also, if we don't make strides at getting close to the cap floor amount this year, we are gonna be forced to just forfeit cash next year or be forced to sign some unrealistic deals in a market with less talent available than this year which should have one of the better FA classes in quite some time due to lacking action last year...similar to the reasoning for the strong draft class of 2010. |

Let me get your (and some others) line of thinking in my head for a second... You think that we are front loading all of our contract extensions to ensure that the team keeps lots of cap space available because we are gonna continue to operate well below the cap. Well,that doesn't fit the current (and future) league rules (that Clark Hunt helped negotiate) If we don't spend 119 million in CASH, we forfeit the remaining amount to the NFL and it is dispersed between the players. that has nothing to do with the teams cap space, it how much the owner MUST spend to be in line with league rules. Either spend the money on players or the league takes the money anyway and you get nothing. I guess I don't see a way that we don't go out and add a few pieces and retain our own guys without violating the leagues rules and having to hand over the cash anyway. Gilberry Belcher Carr Bowe I expect all of them to be re-signed and in addition for us to sign 2 or 3 quality guys. In reality, thats what its gonna take for us to get to the league mandated amounts, regardless of the cap floor that goes into place next year. If we don't start to spend money THIS YEAR, there is NO WAY we get to those figures NEXT YEAR without having to sign players to stupid contracts. |

From what I understand the Chiefs are able to use the money they were under the cap last year to raise the cap this year.
