After threatening to hold out of camp if he didn't receive a new deal, the Chiefs and Jamaal Charles came to terms on a new two year extension.
According to USA Today, the contract extension raises Charles' compensation from $3.9 million to $8.3 million in 2014 and includes $18.1 million in new money. He is now signed through 2017.
Charles was the leading rusher in the league last year. He rushed for 1,980 yards and 19 touchdowns.
Even with the new deal Chiefs were still under the salary cap. Training camp for the team, including Charles, started Thursday.
