The Kansas City Chiefs have signed Jamaal Charles to a one-day contract so he can retire as a member of the team.
After penning his ceremonial deal, Charles received a final handoff from Patrick Mahomes on the Chiefs practice field.
Selected by the Chiefs as a third-round pick in 2008, he became the team s all-time leader in rushing yards with 7,260 over the course of nine years.
He also averaged 5.4 yards per carry in his career — an NFL high for running backs with a minimum of 750 carries.
The final handoff.

However, a torn ACL in late 2015 derailed his season, and Charles was not his explosive self after that.
The Chiefs gave it another go for the 2016 season, but finally released the …
Chelsea striker Lauren James has signed a new contract which will keep her at the club until the summer of 2027, the Blues have announced.
The 21-year-old, who was named in Sarina Wiegman’s England squad for this summer’s World Cup finals on Wednesday, was part of Emma Hayes’ side as they completed a second consecutive Women’s Super League and FA Cup double during the season which has just ended.
James told the club’s official website: “It’s an amazing feeling to extend my stay at the club I love and where I feel most at home. I’m looking forward to the future and I want to reach my full potential.
There’s no place like home… is here to stay.

Market: Monza double chance
Odds: 1/2 @
Hoping to make up some ground in the top-half chase, Monza will travel to the Stadio Carlo Castellani when they meet Empoli on Sunday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, while Empoli might have eventually breezed their way to Serie A safety last season, the Azzurri are facing a major uphill battle this time around. Last seen putting in another downbeat display as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Verona, Davide Nicola’s men are sat firmly in the drop zone and already five points adrift of finding a route out of the drop zone. Rightfully tipped as a leading relegation contender in 2024, the Blues are without a single win from any of their previous eight straight Serie A appearances a run that stems all the way …
Pep Guardiola believes his decision to change his horrible first-half tactics was the key to Manchester City s crucial 3-1 victory over Arsenal.
City headed into Wednesday s vital clash at the Emirates Stadium three points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal, but Kevin De Bruyne struck to give City the lead after 24 minutes.
Although Bukayo Saka levelled from the spot, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland scored second-half goals to earn three points for City and put them top on goal difference.
Arsenal had seven first-half shots to City s four, and a much-improved display was required from the champions after the interval to hold the Gunners to no shots on target in the second period.
Guardiola, who has now won eight of his nine matches against Mikel Artet…
Everton are currently stuck in the drop zone after receiving a ten-point deduction for breaching Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules. Having last played in the second tier 70 years ago, the Toffees have played more top-flight games than any other clubs and so relegation would be a seismic shift for the club.
However, despite sitting in the bottom three, the Blues can be positive. Here are the reasons Everton will stay up in the this season.
Experience of Beating the Drop
Despite the Goodison Park club’s longevity in the top-flight they have come dangerously close to being relegated in the past two seasons. Under Frank Lampard, Everton came from two goals down to defeat Crystal Palace to survive with only a game to spare while in 2023, Sean Dy…
Millie Turner is relishing being in the England fold again after a call-up she says was “quite unexpected”.
Manchester United defender Turner, whose previous Lionesses involvement came as part of a training camp in 2020 under Phil Neville, was called up by Sarina Wiegman last week as a replacement for the injured Millie Bright.
While it came as quite a surprise to the 27-year-old, it is something she says her father had told her he had “had a feeling” about.
An update to the November squad as comes in for .
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Millie!

Neven Subotic visited the place he spent nine years at when Union Berlin traveled to Dortmund on Saturday, and though his team suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of his former club, he ll probably remember the occasion fondly for the rest of his life.
Subotic played a total of 263 games in the black-and-yellow shirt between 2008 and 2017, and helped the club win two Bundesliga titles, two DFB-Pokal trophies, and reach the 2013 Champions League final.
Dortmund fans made sure he knew he will remain a legend in their eyes, forever.

England boss Sarina Wiegman is “surprised” at Arsenal’s plan to play an exhibition match in Melbourne on May 24 – a trip she feels is “not good” for players.
The Gunners last week announced their women’s team will head out to Australia to face an ‘A League Allstars’ side in the end-of-season fixture.

Memphis Depay scored one and created another in his latest dominant display as the Netherlands defeated Georgia 3-0 on Sunday ahead of Euro 2020.
Lyon striker Depay had scored both goals in the prior friendly against Scotland to rescue a draw and played a key role again a week out from the Oranje s tournament opener at home to Ukraine.
The first from Depay came from the penalty spot after 10 minutes and he then teased a gorgeous pass through for Wout Weghorst s first international goal in the second half. Ryan Gravenberch later broke his own duck.
Depay and Weghorst again headlined a Frank de Boer XI that showed only two changes from the team that faced Scotland, hinting at his finals line-up, but Matthijs de Ligt was one of those to make way due to a groin compl…
