The Kansas City Chiefs made a two-pronged move involving Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones accounting for about $50 million in NFL free agency.

Mahomes and Jones are both tied to the Chiefs for years to come -- Mahomes is signed through 2031, and Jones through 2028 -- so Kansas City's adjustments here were likely related to how and when those players' contracts get paid out.

The Chiefs have restructured the contracts of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and defensive tackle Chris Jones, freeing up $49.446 million in salary cap space, a source told ESPN.
