The Chiefs appear to have found their replacement for Kareem Hunt.
After recording his first career 100-yard rushing game, running back Damien Williams inked a two-year, $8.1 million max deal, a league source told The Star.
Though he had a fumble, Williams rushed 13 times for 103 yards and had seven receptions for 37 yards in the loss to the Seahawks, continuing his rise since the dismissal of former rushing champion Hunt and injury to Spencer Ware.
“He was upset at himself, but then he got himself back and brought an energy throughout the game,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said of Williams after the fumble.
