Who wouldn’t want $177? You could pay a bill or have a big night on the town when we’re back to having big nights on the town. What you can’t do with $177 is sign an NFL free agent. But according to one cap space calculation, that’s how much money the Chiefs have left to sign players. Of course, it’s that amount with change with the restructuring of deals, but you get the picture.

The limited space hasn’t stopped the Chiefs from making moves, and beat writer Herbie Teope chats with Blair Kerkhoff about roster changes over the past few days on today’s SportsBeat KC podcast. They’ve re-signed wide receiver Demarcus Robinson, while linebacker Reggie Ragland has signed with the Detroit Lions. What’s next for the Chiefs? Maybe looking under the mattress for more cap space.
