For the NFL, it's March 7th. Here's what's happening. The Kansas City Chiefs just resigned linebacker Cole Christensen to a one-year contract extension worth $1,215,000, including $247,500 guaranteed. He's a reliable special team's player who's become a staple on the roster. Earlier this week, the move came after Christensen helped seal a key playoff win over Buffalo last season. With the Chiefs of 27-24, he teamed up with a teammate to stop a fake punitim by DeMar Hamlin on 4th and 5th. Fans and the team respect his grit after years grinding on practice quads. The 6-foot-1, already-pound linebacker from Army, went undrafted out of college, spent time with the chargers, then joined Kansas City. Before they're back-to-back Super Bowl runs, they even named him a team captain late in the season. In four years with the Chiefs, he's appeared in 18 games, logging eight tackles mainly on kickoffs and punts.

At Army, he was a two-time captain and led with 112 tackles a senior year. Meanwhile, Kansas City is beefing up depth with other signings like White Receivers Jason Brownlee and Jimmy Holiday, Titan Trey Watson, Tackle Matt, Walezko, and quarterback Jay Caner, all heading into the offseason.
