The Chiefs signed Hunt midway through the 2024 season after a series of injuries thinned the team’s roster of running backs.
Hunt, 29, wound up appearing in 13 games last season, getting starts in eight of them. He rushed for nearly 730 yards and seven touchdowns. Hunt was also a key component in the team’s playoff run to Super Bowl LIX.
The Chiefs took Hunt with the 86th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
