It makes total sense. If we expect the cap to explode after this year the future years of his contract are easier to take on. He doesn't have a ton of long term guarantees so adding some to the front end doesn't really hurt us.

[Sofa King]

The cap is a myth.

[Chris Meck]

Here we GO!

[Donger]

So, they change Mahomes' roster bonus to a signing bonus, and the cap hit goes away?

[RINGLEADER]

Anyone who knew anything knew this was the longer term plan. Veach found the “guarantee for injury” loophole first and now we can convert any bonus or salary into a signing bonus spread over 5 years. Eventually it will either catch up to us or the cap will catch up to the deals but the Chiefs have an enormous amount of potential cap space.

[RINGLEADER]

Spread it out over 5 years instead of all this year.

[Donger]

[Kman34]

Brand new shiny left tackle on the way..

[The Franchise]

His cap hit in 2021 is $7.5 million.

I'd leave Frank Clarks contract alone unless it was absolutely necessary.

No, it spreads it out over the next five years of the contract.

Hopefully looking up a recipe for humble pie.

[BossChief]

I'd leave Frank Clarks contract alone unless it was absolutely necessary.

I would, too...but with rollovers and whatnot, it really wouldn’t matter.

There’s definitely the think tanks that say this offseason with not many teams having $ means there will be some huge bargains in FA that we can take advantage of and it makes sense to free up as much as possible to get as many “bargain deals” done as we can before the cap goes back up and there’s a stupid feeding frenzy for players because everybody has tons of cap space after the new tv deals are in place and vaccinations mean stadiums are full again.

[Hammock Parties]

I think it's funny the Chiefs are going to do all of this shit AND they still let the broke dick tackles walk.

Veach is HORNY!!!!!!

[ChiefBlueCFC]

this never Q... always to the ship

[chiefzilla1501]

Yup, it's an ace we don't want to play too often. His base salary will be very expensive the next 10 years. So only so many times you want to keep piling on a few million per year every year. But with they usual circumstances of this season, makes sense.

[duncan_idaho]

The bitching by nonChiefs fans in Schefter’s replies is pretty fun to see.

“Why even have a cap!”
“His deal is killing them already!”
“NFL should outlaw restructures until only 2 years left on the deal!”

We're still over by about $4.3M and we'll need about $7.5M for draft picks as of this writing. Even if PMII's restructure saves $17M, doesn't that leave us with only about $5.2M (17-4.3-7.5) ? Am I reading this right?

There are more moves coming.

Tyrann mathieu and kelce are on deck.

[tmax63]

5 mil under the cap including money set aside for draft picks after being 23 mil over the cap in 2 days. And they still have several more days left. I'm no longer bored with the offseason.

[penguinz]

Jones will happen also. 20M of his 21M cap hit for 2021 is a roster bonus.

Hey now let's be fair about this. So many of us aren't invested in the other 31 teams like we are our own, so when a team implements a roster building plan, it may not be obvious to the average.... *reads some of the replies* ...okay, yeah, no, you're right. These Twitter tards need brain enemas. Or just brains.

I think most fans don't understand the context. They see 2 Pro Bowl level tackles getting cut to "save cap space" because of Mahomes contract. Then they see the restructure and think "why not do that first to pay Fisher and Schwartz?"

They're missing the part where both are past 30, injured, probably past their prime, and not guaranteed to start.

Plus there's the Brady ball washers, which is always funny to read.

The injuries were why they were cut, not necessarily the salary cap.

The salary cap played a part but only because both were entering the last year of their respective contracts.

[Hoover]

Yes, and while the likes of Mike Florio are butt hurt when players get cut, I think both Fisher and Schwartz understand exactly what's going on. If they were healthy its an entirely different conversation.

[The Franchise]

If Fisher wasn’t hurt then we’d probably be talking about an extension with Niang taking over for Schwartz.

[duncan_idaho]

Yeah, if they were healthy:

1) KC would have beaten Tampa
2) KC would be rolling into 2021 with both on the last year of their deals, thinking about extending Fisher vs. drafting his understudy/replacement
3) Still be restructuring Mahomes and co. to make cap room for moves

That's the part that bothers the shit out of me. These dipshits don't realize that those guys are long shots to play beginning of the season. That's probably the biggest reason why they were cut, not their cap charge.

Even the half comedian half sports youtuber Donk fan can see the writing on the wall with Trent Williams. He doesn't talk much about it, and the rest of the video is him going, "Hahahaha Chiefs suck again woooo!" but when he does talk about it, he makes it clear he's deathly afraid of this being the possibility. And there's that look in his eye that seems to say he knows this is going to happen and there's nothing he can do to stop it.

The point is how is it some rival fan running a Youtube channel from his basement can see the inevitability, but every last fucking show with all kinds of "experts" can't see the goddamn forest for the fucking trees?

[philfree]

Given their health status and age both these guys could linger on the market for a while. Could be that as we approach training camp we could re-sign one of the two for cheap depending on how they heal and how in shape they are. Maybe even both. Or maybe early in the season we could do that. Experienced depth with knowledge of our offense could be a good thing.

Patrick Mahomes' Contract Structure is a Blessing for the Chiefs, Curse for the Rest of the NFL
When the Kansas City Chiefs restructured Patrick Mahomes' contract heading into the 2021 offseason, they showed how they will weaponize Mahomes' 10-year contract extension against the rest of the NFL.
