On the eve of the NFL’s annual first-year player draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have found a way to create a bit more salary cap space with the leaked news, via Yahoo! Sports reporter Terez Paylor, that guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif has agreed to restructure his contract.
Terms of the exact restructuring were not yet made available as of press time, but it’s welcome news in general for a team that needed some breathing room.
The Chiefs will need a few million just to handle the rookies incoming from the draft, let alone any other personnel moves, and as of the day before the draft, Over the Cap had the Chiefs at just over $117K in room below the cap.
