Justin Fields contract barely dents Chiefs remaining cap space

The Kansas City Chiefs have a new backup quarterback. Justin Fields was acquired via trade from the New York Jets on Monday morning.

As part of the deal, Kansas City takes on $3 million of the $10 million Fields was guaranteed in 2026, via various reports. Over The Cap lists the Chiefs with $10,935,301 in salary cap space after adding Fields to Kansas City's figures.

The Chiefs have made a fair amount of moves so far. And while the NFL Draft still awaits next month, some other holes or depth spots could still be beefed up.
