Ian Rapoport reports that the Chiefs are bringing back LS James Winchester on a one-year deal worth $1.75 million, which is fully guaranteed.
Winchester had previously signed a one-year deal with Kansas City just under a year ago.

He became the highest-paid long snapper in the league back in 2021 when he signed a two-year extension with the team. He signed a one-year extension with Kansas City last offseason
In 2025, Winchester appeared in 17 games for the Chiefs and made three tackles on special teams.
