The coachs salary has no impact on the cap. So herms firing has nothing to do with money not being able to be spent in FA
And think about it. By canning Herm I bet the Chiefs make MORE than 4 million in revenue, making up for the soft hit of his salary. Not only that, if you think the Chiefs or Mr. Hunt didnt have the 4 million to waste(if you can call it waste, since keeping him and paying it would have been the real waste) you aren't paying attention~
