The Facts: The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Thursday that the team has signed running backs Charcandrick West and Ware to contract extensions. Terms of the contracts will not be released by the club. "Charcandrick and Spencer both stepped in and were very effective for us offensively last year," GM John Dorsey said.

Diehards Line: Ware has played in 13 games (two starts) in two NFL seasons with the Chiefs (2015) and Seahawks (2013). His career numbers include 75 carries for 413 yards (5.5 avg.) with six touchdowns along with six receptions. Ware served on Kansas City’s practice squad in 2014. He originally entered the NFL as a sixth-round pick (194th overall) by the Seahawks in the 2013 NFL Draft. Ware played collegiately at LSU. Remember: A second major knee injury cost Jamaal Charles the last 11 games in 2015. Charles will be 30 years old by the end of the 2016 season with high mileage on his 200-pound body. Keeping Ware makes sense.
