well, if they get that 22-35 million projected cap like you said, I’m sure they will be okay
That's a whole lot of roster spots to fill. They are not going to be able to pay up for anyone.
25 of top 53 Chiefs are free agents in 2021. Some of them are well paid and big contributors. They will lose many of those and not be able to replace them with anyone that costs much.
For comparison, Titans projected to have 30-45m in 2021 and have the following free agents:
Derrick Henry
Jayon Brown
Jonnu Smith
Vic Beasley
DaQuan Jones
Corey Davis
Mycole Pruitt
Kamalei Correa
Jonathan Joseph
Anthony Firkser
Jack Crawford
Ty Sambrailo
Chris Milton
Tye Smith
Nick Dzubnar
That's 15 players, and we have substantially more cap space.

I'd take a GM job for an expansion team. I'll even take a low salary! What's the going rate of an average NFL GM these days? $5M/yr? I'll take half of that!
Dont sell yourself short, Ruston Webster stole about that much every year from the Titans.
This is proof the salary cap works
More like the power of rookie contracts. His contract is an extension, meaning his contract for the next two years is what it would have been had he not signed this deal.
There it is. I was confused on how this was possible.
Yeah, that’s just lazy reporting.
"There were two things I said when we went into negotiations: I wanted to keep great players around me and I wanted to have long-term security for my family," Mahomes said
I wonder how many great players they can keep when they are paying 1 player 45mil a year?

Well... they got it done. Maybe the team won't blow up. I can see other role players, like Sammy Watkins, taking less money to stay and win. Credit to their GM.
It's going to be interesting how that contract affect things with the reported possible 70m drop in cap.
The proposal by the NFL that the NFLPA is voting on right now has the cap only decreasing 20m next year and any additional losses that were incurred be spread over the next 3 seasons
Tbh i think the kid has his head screwed on and this was just about security more than anything else. Would not be suprised that there is alterations of his contract if more cap is needed. Get the impression hes more mature than his age.
it doesnt hurt that his dad knows the game of being a pro athlete, thats got to be worth a lot
well, he's losing his starting right guard now for this season -- so there's at least a hole in Oline atm.
I wonder how much money this guy forfeits for opting out and how much they have available to bring in someone to replace him this year.
I'm seeing that they currently have 4m available and this guy was slated to be a 5.5m cap hit this year.
I think they make like a cool mill if they opt out
Thanks hadn’t seen that. Still see his huge contract handicapping then down the line.
