Jamaal Charles agrees to extension

Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles will report to training camp after reaching agreement on Wednesday to a contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Terms weren't disclosed but sources told ESPN that Charles received a two-year deal that will keep Charles in Kansas City through the 2017 season.

Charles was absent from camp at Missouri Western State University at 4 p.m. ET Wednesday, when players were required to report. But the sides reached an agreement shortly afterward and Charles was en route to camp from his home in Kansas City.

The six-year NFL veteran tweeted on Wednesday afternoon before the Chiefs officially announced his contract agreement, referring to his earlier reporting status.

I had no intention on holding out...I just ran out of gas on the way to camp and my cell phone battery died. It was a long walk I tell ya.

The new deal, which runs through 2017, will pay Charles $18.1 million for the additional two years. He will make an extra $5.1 million over the next two seasons, including a $4.4 million raise this year, according to sources. He was scheduled to make $3.9 million this year, including a base salary of $2.65 million.

Charles, 27, has been one of the NFL's top running backs for several seasons and had perhaps his best all-around season in 2013. He ran for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns last year as the Chiefs reached the playoffs.

Charles also provided a league-high 35.3 percent of the team's yards from scrimmage, leading the Chiefs in rushing and receiving. He also led the league with 19 total touchdowns.
