Just over a week ago, we learned that former Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon was returning to the team on a one-year contract for 2022. As often happens with Kansas City’s signings, we didn’t immediately get the details for the deal.
Those are now available. According to the salary-cap site Spotrac, McKinnon is earning the NFL minimum of $1.035 million and was paid a signing bonus of $152,000, bringing the total value of his contract to $1.27 million. But his cap hit for 2022 is only $1.048 million.
