Chiefs Sign DE George Karlaftis to 4-Year, $93 Million Extension

JACKSON COUNTY, MISSOURI, JUL 20 – The Chiefs secured Karlaftis with $62 million guaranteed after 24.5 sacks in three seasons, locking him in through 2030 to maintain defensive strength.

  • On July 20, 2025, the Kansas City Chiefs agreed to a four-year, $93 million extension as reported by Adam Schefter, including $62 million guaranteed.
  • Amid a push to retain rising stars, Kansas City, Karlaftis’s 115 tackles and 24.5 sacks over three years underscored his value, and the $94 million, $70 million-guaranteed extension for Trey Smith signaled the Chiefs’ focus on retaining young talent.
  • Contract terms position Karlaftis, the deal’s $23.25 million average annual value places him 10th among edge rushers, and its guaranteed funds rank eighth-highest among peers.
  • As the Chiefs report to training camp at Missouri Western State University, Karlaftis will continue as a focal point of the defense.
  • By locking him in through the 2030 season, the four-year, $93 million extension reported by Schefter not only provides long-term security but also allows George Karlaftis to focus on his performance.
