The Kansas City Chiefs have yet to ink any players from their 2023 NFL draft class to their rookie contracts. But it’s only a matter of time before all seven players wind up signing their deals with the team.
Rookie contract values will vary depending on when a player was drafted. The standard contract is a four-year deal, but the Chiefs’ first-round draft pick will have a fifth-year option. Kansas State DE Felix Anudike-Uzomah will have the team’s top-earning rookie contract from this draft class, while Ball State’s Nic Jones will have the lowest-earning contract.
