Keeping Howard was a big time move.

If Dorsey drafts interior DL this year(good year for it) then he is covering his ass for possibly losing Poe.

Chiefs are slotted at $24 million of cap space next year. I imagine Berry will sign and his cap hit this year will be lower like most teams. I also believe Fisher will get the 5th year option. With the cap rise expected to be like last year (why teams paid insane $$ for players this year), roughly $12m should expected to be added putting us around $36 million before making cuts.

$34 million sounds like worst case scenario, so Poe's deal would be a first year lower hit, Berry with probably $10 million in year 2 and Fisher's 5th year option of roughly $10 million would put us around $5 million to spend with cuts to open up more room.

2018 will be much tougher with he following guys being FA's:

Charles
J. Howard
Colquitt
D. Ford--5th year option?
A. Sherman
P. Gaines
A. Murray
Z. Fulton
LDT

That's not rough, Charles will be almost done completely.

Gaines and Ford will be the hardest on that list, but only if they 'blow up'.

Gaines could possible be starting on the outside by then.
Ford could be the passrusher we hope he could be.

The rest are medium level signees.

I suppose Murray could be our franchise starting QB by then. lol
