Chiefs and defensive end George Karlaftis agree to 4-year, $93M contract, AP source says

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs and defensive end George Karlaftis have agreed to a four-year, $93 million contract that includes $62 million guaranteed, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Sunday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal, which locks up one of the Chiefs' best young defensive players on the same day that they report to training camp at Missouri Western, is still pending a physical.
It is the second high-profile contract that Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has finished off in the past week. He signed Pro Bowl right guard Trey Smith to a four-year, $94 million extension on Tuesday.
Karlaftis, a first-round pick in the 2022 draft, has started 44 of his 49 regular-season games for the Chiefs. His best season came two years ago, when he had 10 1/2 sacks while starting every game, and he had eight sacks in 16 games last season.
Karlaftis has appeared in the Super Bowl every season, winning the first two and losing to Philadelphia in February.

This legendary Panthers WR visited practice at Chiefs Training Camp on Sunday

The Kansas City Chiefs were visited by legendary Carolina Panthers wide receiver and current NFL Network analyst Steve Smith Sr. during a training camp practice session on Sunday, July 27. As the reigning AFC champions, Kansas City's players will face high expectations from fans and the media this season, a dynamic that was all too familiar for Smith during his outstanding 13-year tenure with the Panthers. Take a look at this picture of Smith walking to the field at Missouri Western State University with a member of the Chiefs' staff, which was posted to Twitter by Matt Foster of KSHB 41. A five-time Pro Bowler, Smith racked up 14,731 yards on 1031 catches for 81 receiving touchdowns through 16 regular-season campaigns. Though NFL Network hasn't yet featured videos of Smith's appearance at Chiefs Training Camp on its social media accounts, his insightful analysis of Kansas City's workouts should prove to be valuable for fans who haven't been able to see the team practice in St. Joseph firsthand.
