Kansas City Chiefs veteran discusses his playing career future: ‘Take it year by year'
Kansas City Chiefs veteran discusses his playing career future: 'Take it year by year' The Kansas City Chiefs made sure to keep a trustworthy veteran, essential to the team's run of Super Bowl success over the past decade, intact during free agency. During last week's press conference on Zoom, Chiefs long snapper James Winchester opened up about his playing career future. 'My answer has never changed. You just take it one year at a time, and I think being where your feet are is kind of the way to go about that,' said Winchester. 'Take it year-by-year – I would say, coin the term that someone used a long time ago is like 'Icing on the Cake.' I've had the opportunity to be with the team for a very long time, and none of that is taken for granted, but you know we still have a job to do. You still train like you want to be the best that you can at your job every year. That's just a year-by-year deal.' Winchester shares the Chiefs record of 25 postseason games played with teammate Travis Kelce. 'I think earlier in your career, you're more concerned with getting that big deal and signing for multiple years,' said Winchester. 'For me, I'm thrilled to just be back on the team one year at a time. I think every season, we evaluate as a family where we are and what we're doing, and this year, we did the same. You see the team that you're on, the people that I get to go to work with every day, the future Hall of Famers, and then so many great guys on the team and in this organization, and you just go, 'There's nowhere, else that I would rather be.' There's so many who would love to play for an organization like Kansas City and to be able to do that for another year, it was a no-brainer that yes, we wanted to go another season.' Since going undrafted in the 2013 NFL Draft, Winchester has played 164 career regular-season games and remains a steady presence on special teams.

Chiefs free agency: K.C. re-signs LS James Winchester, bolstering special teams unit On Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs announced that they had officially signed veteran long-snapper James Winchester to a new contract. Winchester has played for the Chiefs since 2015 and played a role in all of Kansas City's Super Bowl championships during the Patrick Mahomes era. He played collegiately at the University of Oklahoma from 2008 until 2011 and initially entered the NFL when he signed a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2013. Winchester was cut by Philadelphia shortly after he joined the Eagles and had to wait until 2015 to get his shot to play with the Chiefs, who picked him up and never looked back: Though fans only tend to see Winchester on the field a few times every game, his contributions to Kansas City's special teams unit are routinely a crucial aspect of the Chiefs' dominance. Stay tuned to see how much Winchester will make on his new contract with Kansas City.
