Anthony Sherman and the Kansas City Chiefs have agreed upon a three-year, $7 million contract extension.

Sherman has been ranked as the NFL's best fullback this season by Pro Football Focus.

“It was important for us to keep Anthony here in Kansas City,” Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said in a release announcing the extension. “He brings a lot to our football team with not only his play, but his work ethic, leadership and character. He doesn’t get a lot of recognition at his position, but he has been a key component to our success as a team.”
