If his agents are coming back to the table with the 're-set' figures in hand, then it's time to walk away from the table and try again next year. There's no rush. He's under contract for the season and you have the tag. Meanwhile the market isn't going to re-reset between now and NEXT March.
And the onus to get the money moved off this year's cap is gone. There's simply nobody out there worth chasing at the moment.
I'd simply break off and head home. If he wants to talk about $22 - $23 million and offer a bit of a team friendly structure to ensure it gets done this year, okay.
There's no incentive for the Chiefs to push the issue anymore. Let Hill and his people come to you.

The only problem I see with that is that Hill and his agent aren't going to come down in that cooling off period. And if Hill has any kind of a decent year stat wise....it could cause him to go higher. Especially if the cap increases like it should.
Not paying now only increases the chance that you're paying more....or you're getting closer to trading him.
