KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chiefs agreed to re-sign running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire to a one-year deal, a source confirmed.
Edwards-Helaire’s return gives the Chiefs some depth at the position behind starter Isiah Pacheco and comes on the same day the team hosted free agent running back J.K. Dobbins on a visit.
Edwards-Helaire hasn’t lived up to the promise the Chiefs saw in him when they drafted him in the first round in 2020. He made it through a full season in 2023 after injuries plagued his first three seasons but did so as a backup behind Pacheco, who took over the starting job in the 2022 season.
