Chiefs bested offers from Saints, Packers to sign WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling

I think that MVS is overrated. But that $22.6 isn’t our 2022 money. That’s borrow money from 2023. So you can use every bit of it on players, but you are doing so at the expense of our 2023 budget. I’m sure our budget constraints are playing a role on missing out on FAs. Armstead for example…that is someone you’d like to keep at that price, but apparently he was over budget.

That money is already on future cap years. We still have something like the 6th most cap space in the league. Cap room has nothing to do with the lack of signings so far. It's more of not throwing around stupid money like 10m per year for a soft one dimensional wide receiver. We have plenty of money, and even if we had the most cap space in the league we still wouldn't have matched that offer. It's really bad deal.
