The Kansas City Chiefs have restructured the contracts of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and defensive tackle Chris Jones to clear up $49.446 million in cap space, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.

The Kansas City Chiefs have been the gold standard in the NFL for the past couple of seasons, but now we are seeing the downside of that come home to roost.

A former Western Michigan offensive lineman landed a major job promotion on Monday, now tasked with keeping arguably the best quarterback in professional football upright. In fact, he’ll protect Patrick Mahomes’ blind side.
