Chiefs Restructure Mahomes Deal, Boost Cap Space

The Chiefs have restructured Patrick Mahomes’ contract, improving their salary‑cap room before the free‑agency season.

Kansas City restructured the quarterback’s deal, shaving off a portion of the 2025 cap hit and converting a chunk of the 2026 salary into a signing bonus.

The move leaves the Chiefs with roughly $20 million in additional cap space, giving them room to pursue free‑agents or extend other players.
