Kareem Hunt, Chiefs Sign One-Year, $1.5 Million Deal

Kareem Hunt is returning to the Kansas City Chiefs for the 2025 season, having agreed to a one-year contract worth $1.5 million, with the potential to earn an additional $1 million in incentives. Hunt previously re-joined the Chiefs mid-season in 2024 after running back Isiah Pacheco was injured, finishing with 728 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. His return comes alongside the signing of Elijah Mitchell from the San Francisco 49ers, enhancing the team's backfield options. Despite a checkered past that includes being released by the Chiefs in 2018 due to off-field issues, Hunt has maintained a significant role with the team. The Chiefs are focused on strengthening their roster depth as they prepare for the next NFL season. Speculation remains about additional moves in the upcoming draft, particularly concerning running back prospects.
