Needing to free cap space because their books were getting a little tight after acquiring DeAndre Hopkins, the Kansas City Chiefs have adjusted right tackle Jawaan Taylor's contract.
Per ESPN's Field Yates, the Chiefs restructured Taylor's deal to open up $5.3 million in cap space for this season.
As of Thursday, Roster Management System (h/t ESPN.com) estimated the Chiefs as having $3.8 million in cap room. Taylor's restructure will bump that number up to $9.1 million.
The Chiefs officially announced their acquisition of DeAndre Hopkins in a trade with the Tennessee Titans on Thursday.
