Still according to ESPN, the defensive tackle will receive several bonuses on his new contract, in addition to the $19.5 million remaining in his final year.
A signing welcomed by Brett Veach, the general manager of the Chiefs.
“Chris is a major player in this league, and over the last seven years, he has transformed himself into a true leader for our team. He was indispensable in our Super Bowl quests, and it was the priority to keep him as a Chiefs player. I would like to thank Chris and his representatives for their willingness and patience to finalize this agreement. Chris wanted to be a Chief, and his agency worked seriously during this period. »
Good news for the reigning champions. Facing the Jaguars next Sunday, they can count on their best defensive player in terms of sacks last season (15.5 sacks).
