At least not for the Chiefs.
It's not that the Chiefs can't manage their cap. It's that the Chiefs are about the only team in the NFL that is using the cap as an excuse to not add talent just one year after making several "win now" moves.

Hali and flowers are 22 mill that will be restructured. Houston, berry, and Smith if signed this year can have very cap friendly deals in 2015 if we want to. Fasano, devito, Avery, Daniel, and Sean Smith cost nothing to cut and can easily save us up to 20 mil. And the cap should probably rise to 155m next year so 140m is still under.
That is our final cap. Unlike other teams, we won't have too many big free agents we are desperate to re-sign. All available cap can be devoted to free agents.
