The Kansas City Chiefs are keeping a familiar face in their backfield as they gear up for the 2025 season. The club has agreed to a one-year deal with veteran running back Kareem Hunt, according to NFL Media.

Running back Kareem Hunt is returning to the Kansas City Chiefs on a one-year contract worth up to $2.5 million, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Friday. He returns to a backfield led by Isiah Pacheco that also added former San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell this week.

Free agent running back Kareem Hunt will be rejoining the team on a one-year deal, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Hunt’s contract, via Rapoport, will be for $1.5 million with incentives.
