The Kansas City Chiefs have created almost $ 50 million in capitalization space by restructuring the massive contracts of the Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones team.
The queen AFC champions reinforced their offensive line with the left Tackle Jaylon Moore and his secondary school with corner Kristian Fulton, but needed to free money so that these agreements could be officially signed.
The movement was first reported by the ESPN Yates field.
Last week, the Chiefs exchanged the Guard All-Pro Thuney to the Bears for a fourth round selection in the 2026 draft, which released a very necessary salary space. They used some of this in a three -year agreement and $ 45 million to keep the supporter Nick Bolton and a $ 11 million contract for the open receiver Marquise Brown, who lost most of the last year with a shoulder injury.
The Chiefs also put the franchise label at the Trey Smith right guard, which would amount to an agreement of $ 23.4 million for next season.

On Tuesday, the Chiefs agreed a two -year contract and $ 20 million with Fulton, a former Titans and Chargers corner.
The Chiefs entered the free agency in search of a veteran corner to solidify a defensive field that fought when corner Jaylen Watson lost for a injury last season. Fulton is large and physical enough to play abroad, and his versatility would help free Trent McDuffie, his corner All-Pro and the best player in pass coverage.
Fulton helped LSU to win the national title before being chosen by Tennessee in the second round of the 2020 draft. He played four seasons for the Titans before spending last season in Los Angeles, where he had 51 cup and an interception.
That choice was memorable for chiefs, casually. Fulton was returning him when Mohamses tried to make a Tackle near the side line, and his helmet hit the knee of the open receptor of Kansas City Rashee Rice, who had also been chasing the play. The rice ended needing surgery that ends the season to repair the damage to the knee.
The agreement with Fulton one day before the start of the new year of the League arrived after Kansas City agreed a two -year contract and $ 30 million with Moore and a one -year pact and $ 3.5 million with the chief corridor Elijah Mitchell on Monday.
It has already been a low season occupied for the Chiefs after its defeat in Philadelphia in the Super Bowl.
