Yea don't buy that.

Huh?
They'd make the same moves required to fit him in that they could make to still have cap space even with him.
In the rollover era, it really doesn't matter. Free up as much as you can possibly free up every time. If you don't spend it, it rolls over to the following season and pays for the money you moved into that year.
If the Chiefs can move $50 million in cap space, they should. Regardless of what happens with Smith. And that would still leave plenty of space to work the market both with your own FAs and outside FAs.
Thats more of an excuse than a real reason. They can make it work.
And I think he could net a 2nd. Maybe not - they may have to settle for a 3rd. But a second would be plenty possible.
