Cap space
The Chiefs reportedly had upward of $3.8 million in cap space to work with as of Tuesday morning. They’ll need around $2.9 million in cap space to satisfy the rookie pool should they keep all 10 of their draft picks. The team also has a number of different ways by which they can create cap space during the 2023 NFL draft (trades) or after (extensions).
