Here the chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs (14-2)
AFC playoff seed: No. 1

The defending champs are $16.4 million over the projected cap. They can get underneath quickly by turning quarterback Patrick Mahomes' $21.7 million roster bonus into an option bonus, freeing up $17.4 million in cap room immediately. Designating linebacker Anthony Hitchens as a post-June 1 release would free up an additional $6.5 million. Kansas City might also choose to move on from one of its starting tackles, which would save either $12 million if it releases Eric Fisher or $6.3 million if it does the same with Mitchell Schwartz. Both players are entering the final year of their respective deals.

The Chiefs will return most of their key players. Oft-injured veterans Sammy Watkins (wide receiver) and Alex Okafor (defensive end) will move on. The team will retool in the secondary, where Daniel Sorensen and Bashaud Breeland are unrestricted free agents and Charvarius Ward is restricted. Likewise, along the offensive line, the Chiefs are projected to lose Austin Reiter, Kelechi Osemele, Mike Remmers and Daniel Kilgore.

Running back Le'Veon Bell and fullback Anthony Sherman also are unrestricted free agents, while linebacker Damien Wilson and wideout Demarcus Robinson round out the notable free agents for Kansas City.

I don't think that's how it works.

The signing bonus is already counted against the cap. Them getting their money back simply gets them their money back. It doesn't erase the cap hit.

Maybe we can replace him with someone that does not have 2 busted up knees?
