From spotrac front page, assessing all the playoff teams:

For a team that is near the top of the league in terms of offensive production and near the bottom of the league in terms of defense, the financials certainly don't bear out. With the exception of TE Travis Kelce, the Chiefs are scoring gigantic values at the major offensive positions, and above average production from their fairly well-paid offensive line.

Defensively though, the Chiefs are still in the process of "decluttering" their finances. They've made significant cuts over the past two offseasons to allow for free agent signings, but are likely going to be pressed to make another this March with Justin Houston's cap figure rising to $21.1M, and Dee Ford having a career year with free agency around the corner. Kansas City will also need to address the running game this March, with the unfortunate loss of Kareem Hunt going forward.


Looking ahead, the Chiefs have just north of $42M in projected cap space for 2019, with 41 players under contract, a bit of room to work with to address the above, plus a desperately needed upgrade to their secondary.
