Americans Unsure Of Financial Future Find Comfort In The Kansas City Chiefs Having Just $177 In Cap Space

The current state of the world has left many industries decimated, with current projections estimating that the unemployment rate could surge to 32.1% and affect 47 million Americans, a shock that will be like nothing we’ve experienced in the United States in a century.

Misery loves company and if you’re unsure of what your financial future holds, take comfort in the fact that the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs don’t have enough cap space dollars to fund Andy Reid’s appetizer course at the Golden Corral.

One hundred and seventy seven dollars.

The Chiefs cap situation could be even more dire, if we’re to believe other sources.

Meanwhile, the salary cap reporting site OverTheCap lists the Chiefs with minus $255,452 in space — that is, more than a quarter of a million dollars over the salary cap.

The competing site Spotrac shows the team with minus $1,697,961 in space.

Our own calculation — which is based on Spotrac’s numbers, but also includes our best estimate of the contracts reported to have been signed that are not yet included in Spotrac’s total — shows the team with minus $2,240,045 [via Arrowhead Pride]

The Chiefs are less than two months removed from a Super Bowl title and aren’t in need of a significant roster makeover, so a couple moves here and there can easily shore up their cap strain, but let’s all bask in their flat wallet while we can.

Breathe easy, Americans. We’ll get through this together. All of us.
