What happened: filed the contract Aug. 25 and planned to list it no earlier than Aug. 27. The company also withdrew its broader NFL player-participation product filing.
Why it matters: The CFTC has warned that injury-linked contracts may carry heightened risks of manipulation or price distortion. The product tied a regulated contract to Mahomes' availability as he works toward the 2026 season.
By the numbers: The contract required Mahomes to participate in at least one play. Injury reports, availability designations and roster status would not determine settlement.
What to watch: Watch for a refiling and any CFTC action on player-participation contracts.
