Throw in some incentives that would not be seen as "likely" so you can get around them (All-Pro? MVP? 15+ sacks?) and sweeten the pot a little bit. Maybe something like each year he gets 15+ sacks he gets $1.5 million (like Pat's MVP/AFC Title incentives).
That gets your cap hit this year down to $10M (saving $6 million). Gets the Chiefs to about $14M in cap room.
Option 1 (Boring): Roll that cap space over to next year to make up for the 2021 salary cap dip
Option 2 (Aggressive):
Add Jadaveon Clowney on a 1-year, $10-12M deal.
Win Super Bowl. Clowney hits FA again at age 28 coming off a SB win and likely a huge year.
Get comp pick when he signs the huge deal he wants.
Profit.
Which do you think Veach is eyeing?

Most likely the aggressive option. Assuming Clowney will take that deal.
