Not a surprise. I just figured we'd wait until the deadline in hopes of working out a long term deal.

It doesn't take long for salary cap issues to start affecting a team.  It's just beginning for the Chiefs now and will only get worse.  That's just how the NFL salary cap cycle works.

I guess they’re communicating and it’s looking like he will report and won’t hold out for an extended period of time.

We’ve been having these problems for years lol. Can thank Scott Pioli and John Dorsey for that.

Looks like these are the cap saving options besides Watkins. I wonder if Mahomes plays without an extension. The cap savings is all the way to the right with the dead money before it

I could see us trading LDT, Erving, or Reiter if we draft a replacement. I don't see anyone on this list being straight out cut except maybe Erving.

Still paying Eric Berry $8M this year. Dorsey got us a lot of talent but he structured contracts so miserably and extended some guys in really poor ways and/or at really poor times. So much money paid to guys not playing or not on roster. Our cap situation looks so much better in a year in part because that's when we finally get done paying dead money on the old Dorsey contracts.
