Even with rolling over $10 million (and it's most likely closer to $5 million), they're still $1 million over. If they rollover nothing, they'd be $6 million over. They have decisions to make with Peters and Morse in 2018 and in 2019, Tyreek Hill and Dee Ford. They're not even close to being out of cap hell. |

Cutting Hali would result in a $7.35 million dollar Dead Money charge and with approximately $10 million left, they'd have less than $3 million. |

It doesn't eat up anything more than the $1.5 million in accelerated signing bonus that they'd end up eating next year anyway. The 'dead money' is already factored into the cap as salary. Cutting a guaranteed salary doesn't make it double count - it's still only in there once.
They can absolutely cut him, I just don't think they will because they don't have any gain in doing it at all. They can just PUP or IR him and maybe bring him back later. Or just leave him at home. At least at that point they wouldn't take the PR hit of cutting a fan favorite or have to deal with a pissed off locker room. |

https://overthecap.com/player/tamba-hali/531 If they cut him after the 2017 season and before the 2018 season, those figures basically flipflop with $1.56 in Dead Money and $7 million in Cap Savings. |

So his cap hit is worse yes, but not exorbitantly so. It's worse by the amount of the accelerated bonus. By saying that it only creates 1.25 million in cap space, you're double counting his salary (as both salary and dead money). The 'dead money' IS the salary. Its dead because its guaranteed. If it wasnt guaranteed, it wouldnt be dead money. So if you don't subtract it from the team cap before adding the dead money back in, you're double counting. Otherwise where is it coming from? The math is pretty easy on this one. Hell, since its a post June 1 cut, the bonus won't even accelerate onto this year's cap. There's effectively no penalty for cutting Hali from a financial perspective. |

They won't cut Hali this year, but I can see stowing him and his shit awful contract away on IR and cutting him next year.
Dorsey did a number of things right, but man oh man did he ever **** up the Tamba Hali contract situation. |

Hali has created a shit ton of problems for us now by providing us (a.) a disgruntled player (b.) that isn't being played enough to justify his contract. |

Dorsey took a $4 million dollar Dead Money charge in 2016, then turned around and signed Hali to a 3 year, $21 million dollar deal with $12 million guaranteed. That was on top of way overpaying for Jeremy Maclin, in which the Chiefs are feeling the effects this year ($2.4 million in Dead) and next year (another $5 million in Dead). Not to mention, cutting Jaye Howard after extending him and eating another $5 million in Dead Money. Cutting Ramik Wilson cost them nearly $1 million, too, and that's before he was re-signed. Dorsey was a cluster**** when it came to the cap. |

I know the numbers, but planting a locker room leader and Chiefs icon on the bench for 90% of the snaps is stupidity in the finest degree.
It turned the Chiefs' biggest locker room cheerleader into a curmudgeon -- a year I hope he breaks his damn back getting Kpass geared up for 2018 if this team is serious about putting him on the outside. |
