Conor Orr of NFL.com, citing multiple league sources familiar with the situation, reports that the Chiefs are likely to approach DL Mike DeVito about accepting a pay cut to be back with the team next year.
According to Orr, DeVito received several inquiries from other NFL teams at the combine last week, and could have a decent market if he ends up being available.
Unfortunately for DeVito, he sustained a torn Achilles during Week 1’s came against the Titans, and subsequently missed the remainder of the season.
DeVito, 30, signed a three-year, $12.6 million contract that included $6.2 million guaranteed with the Chiefs last March. He has a base salary of $3.75 million for the 2015 season to go along with a cap figure of $5.4 million.
According to OverTheCap.com, releasing DeVito would free up $4 million in available cap space and create $1,4 million in dead money.
The Chiefs need all the cap space they get right now with notable free agents to address such as OLB Justin Houston and C Rodney Hudson.
