The Kansas City Chiefs used a unique NFL contract quirk on OL Nick Allegretti to save some money against the salary cap.
The team re-signed the 27-year-old backup offensive lineman on a one-year deal worth $2.582 million fully guaranteed, but as we predicted, that won’t be the number Allegretti costs against the salary cap. The team used a type of veteran salary benefit to help lower the cost of Allegretti’s cap hit in 2023, but this one is a type that isn’t too often used because it’s only applicable to a specific group of players.
