James Winchester says his Chiefs career has been a ‘dream come true’

Kansas City long snapper James Winchester is entering his 11th season with the team.

For over a decade, Kansas City Chiefs’ long snapper James Winchester has been a model of consistency. As he enters his 11th NFL season — all of it Kansas City — Winchester still finds himself in awe of his journey.

“I would have called you crazy if you would have said I would be going into Year 11, having had the opportunity to play in five Super Bowls and be a part of three championships,” Winchester told the media during a Zoom press availability on Thursday....

Kareem Hunt has unfinished business with the Chiefs

Kareem Hunt has unfinished business with the Chiefs

Back for 2025, the veteran running back is focused on winning a Super Bowl with Kansas City.

When running back Kareem Hunt returned to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024, the season didn’t end quite the way he wanted. Reaching (and winning) a Super Bowl was a big part of why he wanted to come back; he wanted another crack at bringing the whole thing home.

Now he’ll get another chance, as the team has re-signed the 29-year-old to a one-year contract last week. Despite the championship loss, Hunt still loves playing for the Chiefs.

“The culture is just great,”...

Chiefs’ interest in QB Gardner Minshew began before 2019 NFL Draft

Chiefs’ interest in QB Gardner Minshew began before 2019 NFL Draft

Kansas City’s new veteran backup quarterback has a good understanding of how to support the face of the league.

The Kansas City Chiefs will have a new veteran backup quarterback for superstar Patrick Mahomes this season, after agreeing to terms with well-traveled veteran Gardner Minshew, who spent last season with the Las Vegas Raiders.

When Minshew met with local reporters on Thursday, he revealed that his pairing with the Chiefs has been a long time in the making. It goes back to a visit to Kansas City before the 2019 NFL Draft — when he first met head coach Andy...

New Chiefs defensive lineman Jerry Tillery is glad to be around familiar faces

New Chiefs defensive lineman Jerry Tillery is glad to be around familiar faces

A former member of both the Chargers and Raiders, Kansas City’s new defensive lineman is familiar with his new team.

Each season, the Kansas City Chiefs’ general manager Brett Veach seems to address glaring roster holes in free agency. This way, the team can use each draft selection to take the best available player — except at quarterback, of course.

So when the Chiefs lost defensive tackles Tershawn Wharton and Derrick Nnadi to free agency, that left two roster holes that might have left Kansas City handcuffed in April’s draft.

So on March 14, Kansas City [signed veteran defensive tackle...

Chiefs’ new tackle Jaylon Moore will draw on experience behind Trent Williams

Chiefs’ new tackle Jaylon Moore will draw on experience behind Trent Williams

Kansas City’s new left tackle feels confident about how backing up an all-time great has shaped his game.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ first free-agency signing addressed what was arguably the team’s biggest position of need: left tackle. When former San Francisco 49ers tackle Jaylon Moore joined the team last week, he immediately became the favorite to start the position in 2025.

It’s okay if you haven’t heard much about Moore, since he’s recorded just 12 career starts over four years in San Francisco. Since being drafted in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Moore has watched the 49ers’...

Hollywood Brown ready for second chance to make an impression on Chiefs’ fans

Hollywood Brown ready for second chance to make an impression on Chiefs’ fans

Kansas City’s veteran wideout spoke to reporters after signing a one-year contract for 2025.

Expectations were high after veteran wide receiver Hollywood Brown joined the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024.

Throughout the offseason (and the early parts of training camp), Brown and quarterback Patrick Mahomes appeared to be building a special connection that fans eagerly anticipated seeing on the field. Unfortunately, the first taste of the pairing didn’t end well.

In the Chiefs’ preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Mahomes completed an 11-yard pass to Brown on the offense’s first snap. But on Montaric Brown’s tackle, the wideout [suffered a...

New Chiefs CB Kristian Fulton believes he’s landed with the right NFL team

New Chiefs CB Kristian Fulton believes he’s landed with the right NFL team

Kansas City was interested in Fulton back in 2019 — and now, he finally gets a chance to play for the team.

The Kansas City Chiefs wasted little time. On the second day of the NFL’s “legal tampering period,” they signed cornerback Kristian Fulton to a two-year contract worth $20 million — including $15 million guaranteed.

The 26-year-old entered the league as a second-round pick for the Tennessee Titans out of LSU in the 2020 NFL Draft. In 2024, the 6-foot, 200-pound cornerback signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Chargers. Over five seasons, he’s made 51 regular-season starts,...

Chiefs’ salary cap comes into focus with new contract figures for 5 players

Chiefs’ salary cap comes into focus with new contract figures for 5 players

Little by little, we’re learning how much salary-cap space Kansas City has available.

The Kansas City Chiefs got a head start on free agency, wrapping up a three-year contract for linebacker Nick Bolton just before free agency’s “legal tampering” period began.

Originally reported as a “flat deal” with $15 million per season, the cap specifics are a bit more complicated. Per the contract website Spotrac, most of Bolton’s 2025 money will come via a $12.8 million signing bonus to be spread over the three seasons. $4.3 million of the bonus will be charged to the salary cap in each of...
