McKinnon played an integral role for the Super Bowl champs last year, leading the team with 9 TD catches and was named a team captain during the playoffs.
When asked by reporters if the team would be re-signing McKinnon in a news conference Monday, Kansas City Chiefs General Manager Brett Veach said it was possible moves could be made with the RB soon.
“Obviously, we have a longstanding relationship with Jerick and we’ve had communication, so I wouldn’t be surprised if something got done with him soon,” Veach said.
McKinnon totaled 803 yards from scrimmage last season, and led running backs in the NFL with nine receiving touchdowns.
