By free agency time, they restructured Patrick Mahomes contract for nearly 44 million in space, released Tackle Jawan Taylor and defensive end Mike Dana to save, 29 million, and got linebacker Drew Tranquil to cut his pay by over 2 million. Meanwhile, they locked in Titan Travis Kelsey for a one-year deal worth $12 million, with a cap hit just under $4.9 million. This season, General Manager Brett Veech stuck to his flat contract style, where players get steady pay each year, but cap charges ramp up later.

Smaller deals include Cornerback Cater Co-Hoo and Runningback Imari De Mercado, plus a trade bringing in quarterback Justin Fields for $3 million.
