T. Gonzalez, Chiefs Agree to Five-Year Extension

The Kansas City Chiefs announced today that they'd agreed to five-year contract extension with tight end Tony Gonzalez.

The deal is worth about $31 million, including approximately $17 million in guaranteed money. It keeps Gonzalez from being an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

"Simplistically, we're very pleased to get this done," Chiefs President Carl Peterson said in a written statement released by the team. "It will, in all essence, allow Tony Gonzalez to finish his career with the Kansas City Chiefs. The obvious is he's been a very, very productive player for us. I think for our fans in Kansas City it was important for us to get this done. He's done a marvelous job for us both on and off the football field."
