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.
Despite uncertainties this year, optimism persists for the Chiefs to address their offensive woes and return to championship form in the upcoming season.
