George Karlaftis is now signed with the Kansas City Chiefs through the 2030 season. The pass rusher received a four-year contract extension on Sunday afternoon. Karlaftis has been producing for Kansas City's pass rush since entering the league in 2022 as a first-round pick. He has tallied a combined 24.5 sacks throughout his first three seasons. And in terms of quarterback hits in 2024, only Trey Hendrickson and Zach Allen have more than George Karlaftis.
Karlaftis has earned a well-earned boost in pay already as a young piece of the defense. In addition, general manager Brett Veach deserves praise for getting a player like Karlaftis locked up early.
