George Karlaftis: George Karlaftis Agrees to Contract Extension

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Kansas City Chiefs defensive end George Karlaftis agreed to a four-year, $93 million contract extension with the team. The deal includes $62 million in guaranteed cash, and it will keep him in Kansas City through 2030. The 24-year-old has spent his entire career with the Chiefs since being selected in the first round in the 2022 NFL Draft. He's played well, totaling 115 tackles (68 solo) and 24.5 sacks in 49 regular-season appearances. Karlaftis still has room to develop, which could put him in the Pro Bowl conversation for years to come. His pairing with Chris Jones should also make life more difficult for opposing quarterbacks throughout the 2025 campaign and beyond.
