According to Tuesday’s official NFL transactions report, the Kansas City Chiefs have signed offensive tackle Kingsley Suamataia to his four-year rookie contract.
Full details of the contract are not yet available. Under the rookie contract formula established between the league and the NFL Players’ Association, we expected the second-round pick to sign a four-year deal worth a total of $4.4 million, including what is likely to be a $373,000 signing bonus. We expect the deal will carry a $1.2 million cap hit in 2024.
In a second-round rookie contract, the only thing for which there would be serious negotiation is how much of the total contract will be guaranteed at signing.
