The Chiefs and wide receiver Sammy Watkins have agreed on a restructured
one-year contract that gives the franchise much-needed salary cap relief. That’s
according to a person familiar with the deal who spoke with The Associated Press
on Friday. The person said Watkins will make $9 million in base salary but that
incentives could drive the total package to $16 million. More important for the
club, the deal will give the Chiefs about $5 million in salary cap savings ahead
of the NFL draft.
