Mahomes, who signed a $450 million contract extension in 2020, would count over $58 million toward the cap without a restructuring.
The seven-year veteran, who is coming off back-to-back Super Bowl victories, has been named the game's MVP three times, and has been the league's MVP twice.
After a slow start to the 2023 season, Mahomes finished with 4,183 yards passing, his second-lowest total since he took over as starter in 2018. He rallied the Chiefs to a 25-22 come-from-behind victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII last month, throwing for 333 yards and two touchdowns with one interception.
