Nobody has the rookie allocation figured in yet.
I see about $9 million in available cap after releasing Charles and dumping Foles if you consider Berry at $5 million.
The rookie allocation would likely be somewhere in the $7.5 million range by the time all is said and done. It could move quite a bit if the Chiefs trade up or down.
Realistically the Chiefs are pretty much at the cap. Now some of those draft picks will displace guys, but many of those are past the 'top 51' that's factored into the cap cutoff anyway so it wouldn't help the cap. But if they drafted, for instance, an OT that makes Reid expendable (likely), that's another $1.5 million or so that they'd save.
Unless they restructure Houston, they'd be hard pressed to make any significant moves. And God help us if they restructure Smith.
