game3525 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 This helps out the Chargers a lot. Mike Williams and Erik Kendricks might be the only cap casualties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentwannabe Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Boom! My quick thoughts are: this helps every team. Good thing for the Bills is they can extend Dawkins and restructure Allen’s to free up a lot. Still more moves to be made but they don’t need to touch Diggs or Miller and can get out of both after the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicfre2011 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I wonder if Veach will restructure the Mahomes contract now to unlock even more $ combined with the higher than expected (atleast outside of NFL front office personnel) salary cap to front load some extensions (like Creed Humphrey, Nick Bolton, or Trey Smith) and free agent signings (in-house like either Willie Gay or Drue Tranquill, etc. and outside like a mid-level veteran wide receiver).

Blackstar12 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 So this makes this off-season less exciting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it's possible to sign Jones and tag Sneed now, you just have to let go of the lower end guys. This is all assuming you're going in for the three peat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ton of those soon-to-be big named FA have a much higher chance of being retained now. Can the Chiefs afford both Chris Jones and Sneed now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Reminder, bigger cap means bigger contracts. Free agents are going to get paid so everyone should remember that when those get announced lol. We should see some sizeable jumps . Receiver market in particular should go absolutely bonkers if these contracts (Pittman, Lamb, Aiyuk, JJ) get done 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the Chiefs afford both Chris Jones and Sneed now? That was always on the table. Moving MVS, restructuring Mahomes, they had options to do both. Just really handcuffs them, so whether it was the best option has been the determining factor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Just stresses how much bargain FAs and draft picks are going to be towards championship runs. The superstars are gonna keep getting paid more and more, and even the mid tier FA guys are going to see huge pay increases. Who’d have thought 10 years ago that MVS, DJ Chark, Juju, and Russell Gage would be $10M+/year players? Every year the championship team gets quality play out of bargain FAs. Chiefs got some good play from Drue Tranquill and Mike Edwards. The Bucs team had Antonio Brown, Leonard Fournette, Ndamukung Suh making plays for them. That Rams team had been getting great play from Robert Woods and Leonard Floyd. Doesn’t always have to be cheap, bargain guys. But just players that sign below market value for one reason or another. And then obviously getting good play from guys on rookie deals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e16bball Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Wonder how much Taylor Swift had to pay the NFL to increase the cap to such an extent that the Chiefs can bring back both Jones and Sneed… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
