The Kansas City Chiefs have extended their long snapper, James Winchester. This information comes according to his agent.
Congrats to @J_Winchester41 on signing a contract extension with @Chiefs! Nice to see good things happen for such a great guy!!!#PlayersRep

Winchester was an exclusive rights free agent which basically means the Chiefs controlled his rights. Unfortunately for long snappers, they don’t make millions of dollars so this won’t have a big effect on the Chiefs salary cap for 2017.
