Our (not so good) cap situation for 2017
Alright, so it's another long Sunday without football, and while I don't want to look past this year too much, have any of you noticed our current amount of cap space for next offseason?
According to Over The Cap, we are sitting with a shade under 6 million in available space for 2017. I'm not sure it's 100% accurate, but it's gotta be close. This is without Eric Berry or Dontari Poe under contract, too. Now, we know it's an issue Dorsey has to address and he has shown in the past that he will, but how? What would you do? Here's the link to tinker with all of the different options of moves that can be made. http://overthecap.com/calculator/kansas-city-chiefs/ Personally, I think move number one is to get that Fisher cap number down with an extension. A lot of the other moves are going to depend on how certain guys fare this season, but one that stands out is Mauga's cap number. It'd be really nice to see March or Wilson take his job and make him expendable next offseason. Also, you have the Jamaal dilemma, who would instantly free up 7 million, or Colquitt who frees up over 4 million... hell, Tyler Bray even approaches 2 million. What do you think Dorsey does to save the world this time? Discuss Last edited by pugsnotdrugs19; 05-15-2016 at 12:02 PM.. |

I don't think anybody wants to cut him but it might have to be a business move in the end.

Let's recap what has been said all offseason regarding this:
-The cap will again inflate in 2017 like it did this year. That's why teams went full reerun in FA. I'd expect a $10m cap rise putting us at $16m (projected). -Bray, Zombo and Mauga won't be back in 2017. That's about $4m alone. -Colquitt and JC can be cut with zero damage and save about $11m in 2017. They will most likely be restructured to save $4-5m. -As Dane said, contracts will be pushed into the 2018 cap pool. Poe and any FA we sign in 2017 will have small cap hits in 2017 just as Maclin, Schwartz and every other Dorsey contract. -Tamba and DJ's contracts are basically 2 year deals with a 3rd year option. In year 3 we get at least $6m in cap savings for each of them. Dorsey has a ton of picks in next years draft. He'll draft for replacements for guys like Reid, Howard, Zombo, etc like he always does. We're fine.

A Josh Mauga cut saves us $3 million alone.

They can keep the players they want to keep, but FA will be quiet on the incoming player front.
