The Kansas City Chiefs began the legal tampering period of free agency on March 11 by agreeing to terms on a new deal with long snapper James Winchester. Chiefs Digest’s Matt Derrick was the first to report the agreement.

Chiefs have agreed to terms on a new contract for long snapper James Winchester, per source. Terms not yet available.

The ultra reliable Winchester, who hasn’t missed a game in his career, will be back for season No. 10 in Kansas City.

Winchester, 34, has been with the Chiefs since 2015 and hasn’t missed a game during his 10 seasons in Kansas City.

As a player that has been very reliable at an under-the-radar position, it makes plenty of sense that the Chiefs opted to retain Winchester, who will likely finish out his career in Kansas City now.
