Chiefs sign 7 players from rookie draft class

The Kansas City Chiefs have announced seven of the ten players from their rookie draft class.

A report came in earlier that George Karlaftis had signed, but with the rookies arriving in Kansas City for minicamp, it was only a matter of time before other players officially signed their contracts with the team. On Friday, the majority of those players had a chance to put pen to paper.

Each of the rookies agreed to a standard four-year contract, locking them to the Chiefs through the 2025 NFL season. With two first-round draft picks, both Trent McDuffie and Karlaftis signed contracts with a fifth-year option.

Below are the projected contracts based on draft slots for each of the seven players who have signed courtesy of Spotrac:

Player Total Value Signing Bonus Cap Hit
Trent McDuffie $13.9M $7.3M $2.5M
George Karlaftis $11.9M $5.8M $2.1M
Bryan Cook $6.4M $1.4M $1M
Darian Kinnard $4M $358k $794K
Jaylen Watson $3.7M $85K $726K
Isiah Pacheco $3.7M $79K $724K
Nazeeh Johnson $3.7M $77K $724K

Only three players remain unsigned, who happen to be all of the team’s Day 2 draft picks. That group includes WR Skyy Moore, S Bryan Cook and LB Leo Chenal.
