One day ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 report day for training camp, they have come to terms with second-round rookie defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott. NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport was the first to relay the news on his official X account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs selected the 23-year-old out of Tennessee with the No. 63 overall pick in this year\u2019s NFL Draft. Our John Dixon recently explained why it has taken second-rounders longer to sign this offseason than ever before<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It started on May 8, when the Houston Texans<\/a> signed wide receiver Jayden Higgins, who was the draft\u2019s 34th selection. The former Iowa State<\/a> wideout became the first-ever second-round pick to sign a fully guaranteed rookie contract. The next day, former UCLA linebacker Carson Schwesinger (who had been picked 33rd) signed a fully guaranteed contract with the Cleveland Browns<\/a>…<\/p>\n

To put it another way: the players\u2019 union had organized the second-rounders to push for fully-guaranteed contracts \u2014 something that became standard for first-round selections in 2022, the first year that all opening-round picks got them.<\/p>\n

Given the Chiefs\u2019 depth at the defensive tackle position and the offseason departure of Turk Wharton, Norman-Lott projects to play a key role for Kansas City right away. With the contract done, the club has ensured he will be involved for the full duration of training camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One day ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 report day for training camp, they have come to terms…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23264,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[16910,9372,9370,4133,424,20873,3,349,20872,20871,2105,2129,15509,99,20874,826],"class_list":["post-23263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-agrees","tag-arrowhead","tag-chiefs","tag-contract","tag-front-page","tag-lott","tag-news","tag-nfl","tag-norman","tag-omarr","tag-on","tag-pride","tag-rookie","tag-sports","tag-terms","tag-to"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23263"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23263\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
