Chiefs to sign ex-49ers RB Elijah Mitchell, source says

The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to a contract with free agent running back Elijah Mitchell, a source confirmed to ESPN amid multiple reports.

Mitchell is the second former San Francisco 49ers player to reach agreement with the Chiefs on Monday. Offensive tackle Jaylon Moore agreed to a two-year, $30 million contract, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Despite entering the league as a sixth-round pick and the second of two running backs selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2021 NFL draft, Mitchell emerged as the team's top back as a rookie.
