If the cap stays flat - what I think is going to happen - it will end up being a pretty normal year.
KC has flexibility with Jones to restructure if needed and free up a lot of room. Pair that with an extension of Mathieu and some potential cap relief from Fisher and Schwartz, and KC will have some room to manuever. |

Hopefully they can extend HB and get some relief with Fisher and Schwartz but they have to recoup those signing bonuses, which can get iffy if the player doesn't want to pay it back. Lots of teams end up settling and not getting it all. |

That contract has looked like it was designed, from the jump, to have a restructure done and convert a roster bonus/base salary into a signing bonus. If they add a year to the end of the deal, they could convert that roster bonus in 21 to a signing bonus and drop his cap hit for 21 by $15M. |
