On Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs announced that they had officially signed veteran long-snapper James Winchester to a new contract.

Winchester has played for the Chiefs since 2015 and played a role in all of Kansas City’s Super Bowl championships during the Patrick Mahomes era.

He played collegiately at the University of Oklahoma from 2008 until 2011 and initially entered the NFL when he signed a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2013.

Winchester was cut by Philadelphia shortly after he joined the Eagles and had to wait until 2015 to get his shot to play with the Chiefs, who picked him up and never looked back:

Though fans only tend to see Winchester on the field a few times every game, his contributions to Kansas City’s special teams unit are routinely a crucial aspect of the Chiefs’ dominance.

Stay tuned to see how much Winchester will make on his new contract with Kansas City.
