The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0have demonstrated apparent aggression early this offseason in the free-agent market, and they have reportedly tweaked two of their stars\u2019 contracts to facilitate their moves.<\/p>\n

According to a Wednesday morning report from Field Yates of ESPN, the Chiefs have restructured the contracts of defensive tackle Chris Jones and quarterback Patrick Mahomes.<\/p>\n

The reworks reportedly will save Kansas City $49.4 million against the salary cap in 2025.<\/p>\n

As noted by Yates, the Chiefs\u2019 early free-agent agreements include cornerback Kristian Fulton and\u00a0offensive lineman Jaylon Moore. Kansas City also has\u00a0reportedly scooped up\u00a0ex-San Francisco 49ers\u00a0running back Elijah Mitchell.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The Chiefs are in the process of a minor retool after a 40\u201322 loss to the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles\u00a0in Super Bowl LIX\u2014though \u201cretool\u201d may be a stretch given Kansas City\u2019s sterling 15\u20132 regular season record.<\/p>\n

If the team is able to procure a bonafide impact free agent, it will seemingly have Jones and Mahomes to thank.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
