Fantasy Impact
Hitchens, who only had one more year remaining on his current contract, will be a cap casualty for Kansas City. The Kansas City defense could look very different next year with Tyrann Mathieu, Jarran Reed, and Melvin Ingram among players already hitting free agency. It should be interesting to see how they navigate the cap with Mahomes' cap hit increasing soon.
