George Karlaftis has been an integral part of the Kansas City Chiefs’ elite defense throughout his three-year career. His impact has now been rewarded with a four-year, $93 million contract extension, according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport. The deal includes an annual salary of $22 million, with incentives that could push the total to $23.5 million per year. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid had high praise for the star defensive end.
“He’s a heck of a player and he’s done a great job here, and he’s profiting from that,” Reid said. “Our team is also profiting from him being around. It’s a win-win. He’s a relentless player. You can trust him, and he’s reliable. You know he’s going to do the right things and go 100 miles an hour doing it.”
