In order to create a more manageable cap situation for the team, the Chiefs have restructured the contracts of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and defensive tackle Chris Jones, per Field Yates . Jones' new cap hit this year is $12 million while Mahomes' cap hit is $28 million. With the move, the Chiefs created $36 million in cap space overnight.

The gift that keeps giving for the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes ‘ contract has now been restructured four times. Having franchise-tagged Trey Smith and paid Nick Bolton and then Kristian Fulton, the Chiefs are again turning to the Mahomes restructure tactic.
