Heading into a crucial offseason after a challenging year on offense, the Kansas City Chiefs face significant salary cap implications in 2024. Despite offensive struggles, the team secured 11 wins and the No. 3 AFC seed. The top three players contributing to the hefty cap hits are:
1. Patrick Mahomes: With a cap hit nearing $60 million, Mahomes remains a cornerstone for the Chiefs, having led the team to Super Bowl victories in 2019 and 2022.

2. Joe Thuney: Valued at $26.971 million, Thuney, a standout guard, fortifies the Chiefs’ formidable interior line, making his cap hit justifiable.
3. Jawaan Taylor: Despite a challenging year at right tackle with notable penalties and sacks, Taylor’s $24.725 million cap hit raises expectations for improvement in 2024.
