Dont forget about restructuring contracts.
Mahomes, Jones, Clark, Hill and Thuney account for $142,000,000 cap hit next season. That’s 5 players. All except Hill have hefty dead cap space. Hill is 2.6 million, while Clark is 12 million and it explodes from there. Restructure a few of these, most likely Mahomes is one of them and they get much cap relief. I hate to say.
It takes our top 12 contracts to reach 143 million, including Josh’s contract.
Id ‘d say we are in a better cap situation than the Chiefs. Less players accounting for the most dollars. The Chiefs will face a day of reckoning before we do.
