Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is taking one for the team.
The two-time MVP has agreed to restructure his contract in order to clear an additional $21.6 million worth of salary-cap space for the Chiefs, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
This comes after the Chiefs restructured Mahomes' contract in September 2023, setting him up to make $208.1 million between 2023 and '26. It was the largest deal over a four-season span in NFL history.
Mahomes became the highest-paid player in the NFL when he signed a 10-year extension worth $450 million during the 2020 offseason.
