Bateman and Davis are the least likely to make it there, but for different reasons (depth at WR, and positional value at G) I still think it’s somewhat possible one of them can fall.

The worst part is that the Chiefs can go after any remaining signing bonus and get it back (unless he chooses to fight it) but from what I've read about other cases, that recovered money is just cash, it doesn't give us any cap relief. It's already spent, so to speak.
Well fuck. Never mind then.

I finally looked up his deal. He has a year left on his contract, with a $6M base, $3.75M prorated portion of his bonus left, and a $250k roster bonus.
So they’d be on the hook for what’s left of his bonus proration (3.75M), but what else are you projecting?

Interesting. Those numbers on Spotrac have changed since the season ended. Somehow the opt-out year must have had a weird affect.
You are right though, the dead cap is only $3.75M. That being said, his salary is only $5M, so not saving all that much.
