Cap space is also relative. Lots and lots of real good teams with way more cap space. We will see tons of inflation in the upcoming offseason. Youd think $60m is a lot but it's actually middle of the pack. Teams like New England, chargers, pats, raiders are gonna spend obscene amounts of money.

60 isn't middle of the pack. When you add cuts and rollover it goes up to about 96M.
Also, they only have about 300k dead cap. Every other team in the top 15 has mutimillions in dead cap and only 6 other teams have less than 1M, including the Chiefs.
The ability is there but it's going to take a philisophical change from the front office for any of it to matter.
The ragging on this guy or that guy or front office or coach is what keeps this fun but the truth of the matter is, with an average defense and an average oline, this is a SB contending team.
