Chiefs Lock In Isiah Pacheco with a Team-Friendly Deal: A Win for the Kingdom!

Chiefs Kingdom, let’s celebrate! On June 20, 2025, the Kansas City Chiefs secured Isiah Pacheco with a 4-year, $28 million extension ($15M guaranteed), keeping "Pop" in red and gold through 2029. With incentives, the deal could hit $34M, but at a $7M AAV, it’s a steal for a star running back!

Pacheco, the 2022 seventh-round pick, has been electric, racking up 1,765 yards and 12 TDs in his first two seasons, fueling Super Bowl LVII and LVIII runs. Despite a 2024 fibula injury, he’s back, bulked up, and ready to dominate. Coach Reid raved, “Pop’s hungrier than ever.”

Why’s this deal gold? It fits the Chiefs’ tight $10.8M cap, leaving room for Mahomes and Jones. The modest signing bonus and backloaded guarantees give GM Brett Veach flexibility. Fans are hyped, flooding X with “Pop’s a steal! 🏈” and “Super Bowl repeat vibes!”

Pacheco’s grit and explosive runs are perfect for Arrowhead. With training camp rolling, expect him to lead the backfield, keeping defenses honest. This deal locks in a cornerstone for KC’s balanced attack, setting the stage for another playoff push.

Chiefs Kingdom, drop your thoughts! Let’s get loud for Pop and the 2025 season! 🏈
