The Kansas City Chiefs have restructured the contract of Justin Houston.
The Chiefs converted $6 million of Houston's base salary into a bonus that boosts their cap space for this season above $11 million. Houston’s cap hits for the next four seasons will go up by $1.5 million as a result of the move.
The Chiefs can use the cap space during the season or roll it over into 2017.
Houston is on the physically unable to perform list after having ACL surgery during the offseason.
Houston signed a six-year, $101 million deal in 2015.
