Chiefs Intend to Release Jawaan Taylor
Veteran tackle Jawaan Taylor is facing an uncertain future with the Kansas City Chiefs. The team has decided to part ways with him ahead of the new league year, which commences on March 11. However, the possibility of a trade before his official release remains, albeit slim due to the nature of his contract.
Chiefs’ Decision to Release Jawaan Taylor
Jawaan Taylor is slated to receive $20 million in salary and bonuses. His current cap hit exceeds $27 million. If released or traded, the Chiefs will free up $20 million in cap space.
Challenges in the Market
Despite these financial implications, Taylor’s performance in the 2025 season has raised questions about his marketability at this salary. He played 12 games before suffering an elbow injury in December, which led to him being placed on injured reserve.
