All of Kansas City’s draft picks have now signed their rookie deals.
One day ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs’ report day for training camp, they have come to terms with second-round rookie defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport was the first to relay the news on his official X account.

The Chiefs selected the 23-year-old out of Tennessee with the No. 63 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft. Our John Dixon recently explained why it has taken second-rounders longer to sign this offseason than ever before.
It started on May 8, when the Houston Texans signed wide receiver Jayden Higgins, who was the draft’s 34th selection. The former Iowa State 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…
To put it another way: the players’ union had organized the second-rounders to push for fully-guaranteed contracts — something that became standard for first-round selections in 2022, the first year that all opening-round picks got them.
Given the Chiefs’ 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.
