We’ve discussed a lot about the Chiefs very tight salary cap situation which became better after the team restructured the contract of CB Brandon Flowers, but still left them with little breathing room. To try to increase that margin for error the Chiefs restructured the contract of K Ryan Succop by reducing his base salary from $1.95 million to the league minimum of $715,000 and converting the difference to a prorated bonus. The move saves the Chiefs $926,250 in cap room in 2013.
