The Kansas City Chiefs have reached agreement with running back Jamaal Charles on a five-year, $32.5 million deal that includes $13 million guaranteed, according to a league source.

No downside to extending Charles


The move to lock up Jamaal Charles should keep the Chiefs competitive in the AFC West for years to come, Bill Williamson writes. Blog

The deal is getting done just as the Chiefs are getting ready to play one of their most important games in years, at San Diego, in a battle to try to further cement Kansas City's lead in the AFC West.

Charles ranks third in the NFL with 1,137 rushing yards.

He is averaging a league-best 6.2 yards per carry -- nearly a half-yard more than Brandon Jacobs, who is second with 5.8 yards per carry.
