Tyrann Mathieu is the next safety in line for a new contract, but he may have to wait.

Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said that while the Kansas City Chiefs would like to extend Mathieu's contract beyond its end this season, the timing isn't right for it to happen soon.

"The landscape is super tricky," Veach said. "We're at a $30 million [salary-cap] deficit from what we thought, and next year it's $15 million. Right now some things are out of our control just because of the cap reductions this year and next year. If you look at our books for next year, we're going to be over by a bunch.

"Right now we're counting Orlando [Brown] on a [franchise] tag, but we think he's going to play well, and we're going to extend him, and that opens up space. Restructuring [with other players] opens up space. Some guys moving on will open up space.

"It's frustrating because we're handicapped a little, and there are only certain things we can do to make it make sense for him. But where we are now is going to be completely different than where we will be once the season ends, and we have a lot more clarity on contracts and how the money is disbursed and allocated and how we can fit things and how we can make it work. It's just tricky right now. But it has nothing to do with us not wanting him or him not wanting to be here. It's just one of those unfortunate timing things."

Patrick Mahomes tweeted Monday announcing the imminent release of his first signature shoe, the Mahomes 1 Impact FLX, through Adidas.

The shoe will be released on August 23.

"I've dreamed about this since I was a little kid,'' Mahomes said. "Years in the making. ... This is just the beginning.''
