Chiefs defensive lineman Mike Pennel had his young son peruse his contract before signing.

Defensive lineman Mike Pennel made sure everything was to his liking before signing a new one-year deal with the Chiefs on Monday.

Ditto for Pennel’s agent, Andy Simms.

And for good measure, Pennel’s son took a closer look at the contract, too.

Pennel asked his son: “Is this good to go?”

“Glad i can make memories with my son that he will use for motivation..

“All its about ..

“Year 12 Loading...”
