Kansas City Chiefs facing major NFL punishment decision with Andy Reid given 8 day deadline to save $15.9 million.

THE Kansas City Chiefs are facing a tough salary cap situation this offseason.

After facing a crushing defeat in the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chiefs are now at risk of breaking up the dynasty.

The Kansas City Chiefs are in a desperate salary cap situation.

The Chiefs had some glaring holes exposed during their Super Bowl loss, but they currently don’t have the money to address those holes.

Kansas City are 30th out of the 32 NFL teams in cap space, currently sitting at $15.9 million over the cap.

This is because the team used the franchise tag on offensive lineman Trey Smith.

The franchise tag guarantees Smith $23 million for the 2025 season, making him the fifth highest paid player on the team.

Before signing him to the contract the Chiefs were $8 million under the cap.

The Chiefs are in a dire situation now, as they have just eight days to get their financials in order.

The 2025 league year starts at 4 pm ET on March 12, and Kansas City could face massive penalties if they don’t get under the cap set for the year.
