Jamaal Charles Receives Contract Extension

By on July 24, 2014

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles will report to training camp after reaching agreement with the team on a two-year contract extension, sources confirmed to ESPN. 

Charles was absent from camp at Missouri Western State University at 4 p.m. ET Wednesday, when players were required to report. But the sides reached an agreement shortly afterward and Charles was en route to camp from his home in Kansas City.

His previous contract, signed in 2010, had two years remaining. The new deal, which runs through 2017, will pay Charles $18.1 million for the additional two years. He will make an extra $5.1 million over the next two seasons, including a $4.4 million raise this year, according to sources. He was scheduled to make $3.9 million this year, including a base salary of $2.65 million.

Charles, 27, has been one of the NFL’s top running backs for several seasons and had perhaps his best all-around season in 2013. He provided a league-high 35.3 percent of the team’s yards from scrimmage, leading the Chiefs in rushing and receiving. He also led the league with 19 total touchdowns.
