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.

How is it not "our money"? The NFL salary cap doesn't work like the private loan market. There are always more years you can kick the can down the road and the salary cap always goes up barring another COVID situation. In fact, it's due for a big bump after this year with the new TV contract.
