    Default how much money do chiefs have now in salary cap

    i just remember seeing kc had like 30 million in salrary cap money...and compared to the rest i think the other 3 teams were in the 3-8 million range we had alot more. Is it just me or do you think maybe they didn't spend that much money on FA last offseason on purpose? So they will have more to spend on this off season on better FA's. just a thought

    Good question; probably enough to significantly reduce the national debt.

    I believe under the rules, the money under the cap has to be split between players that have been on the roster during the year. I don't think it is carried over.

    It seems like we've spent a lot this season. Is that list up to date? We have Chambers and Wade on the books, among all the other free agents we signed mid-season.

    Its the only one I could find. I did not put a lot of effort into it. I'll see if I can find another.

    It doesn't matter at the moment, since there will be a number of players that will likely be cut before June 1st.

    It's probably not far off from that figure.

    There are a few significant defensive free agents. I wouldn't be surprised to see another front-loaded contract this year. Cassel's contract apparently doesn't carry large cap hits later on. Just another reason why I think Pioli is smarter than we give him credit for. By the time Cassel is in his fourth year, his cap hit will be low enough that we could replace him without it crippling us.

    Personally, I would like to see us get TWO inside linebackers in free agency. It's one of those positions that I don't think needs to be home grown. Vilma, bart scott, donnie edwards come to mind as guys who left in free agency and still produced at a high level. Each of those guys turned around the defense they joined.

    No I think the cap is like the a federal agency budget you lose it if you don't spend. That is not to say the owner really loses the money he in fact saves the money. It does not give more money the next year. So if we are say $20 million under the cap Clark just had $20,000,000 added to his profit this year.
