KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Chiefs re-signed one veteran running back, Jerick McKinnon, to a one-year contract while declining the fifth-year option on the contract of another, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, a source confirmed.
General manager Brett Veach suggested on Monday that a deal with McKinnon, who turns 31 on Wednesday, was imminent.
McKinnon had the best receiving season of his career in 2022, when he was third on the team in receptions (56), fourth in receiving yards (512) and second in receiving touchdowns (9). He had a streak to end the regular season of six games with at least one touchdown catch.
