The Facts: The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Thursday that the team has signed running backs West and Spencer Ware to contract extensions. Terms of the contracts will not be released by the club. "These guys have different styles and abilities, and together they provide us quality depth at the running back position," GM John Dorsey said.

Diehards Line: West showed the NFL last season that despite his small college pedigree and quiet start to his NFL career, when asked he can produce. When Jamaal Charles went down five games into the season, West became the primary running back for head coach Andy Reid's offense. He posted 848 offensive yards and led the Chiefs in rushing with 634 yards. His career stats include 160 carries for 634 yards (4.0 avg.) with four touchdowns. He has caught 20 passes for 214 yards (10.7 avg.) and one touchdown reception. West originally joined the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent from Abilene Christian in 2014.
