The 25-year-old won a rings in his first two seasons \u2013 making history as the first running back to do so.\u00a0This season, Pacheco has averaged 11.3 receiving yards, grabbing 12 passes for 79 yards on the season.\u00a0He also has 310 rushing yards on 83 attempts (44.3 ypg), and has one rushing TD.<\/p>\n

His form and winning history had put him in line for a new contract, worth $48m over four years, according to MLFootball.\u00a0Although Pacheco looks in line to remain in Kansas \u2013 head coach Andy Reid admitted back-up quarterback Carson Wentz could leave.<\/p>\n

Wentz \u2013 signed this past offseason \u2013 has primarily served as a understudy to star QB Patrick Mahomes.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m one of his biggest fans,\u201d Reid said of Wentz.\u00a0\u201cI liked what he did before he was banged up there in Philly.\u00a0\u201cAnd I liked what I saw last year from him for sure with his start with the Rams. And I like what I\u2019ve seen here.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m glad I have had the opportunity to see him here. I\u2019d selfishly like to keep him, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s going to be possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wentz signed a one-year contract worth $3m with the Chiefs before the season started.\u00a0But with game time not forthcoming, he could now test free agency.\u00a0\u201cHe should be starting in the league somewhere,\u201d Reid said.\u00a0\u201cThat\u2019s what he should be doing. His ability and the way he goes about his business, he is so structured and disciplined.\u00a0\u201cHis study habits and work, all those things are just top notch.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
