Chiefs Veteran Vows to Finish His Career in Kansas City

Veteran long snapper James Winchester has made it clear that he’s not planning to leave the Kansas City Chiefs anytime soon. With nearly a decade anchoring special teams and two Super Bowl rings on his résumé, Winchester remains one of the most respected voices in the locker room. As rumors swirled this offseason about potential changes and retirement, the 34-year-old snapped back with unwavering loyalty.
"They can say what they want. I’m not going anywhere," said J.Winchester. "Kansas City gave me more than football — it gave me a reason to stand for something bigger. I’m here to help carry the legacy. And when it’s all said and done, I’ll still be wearing red and gold. Always."
For Winchester, the message resonates just as powerfully. Kansas City has become more than just a team — it’s his second home. “This organization gave me my shot when nobody else would,” Winchester said earlier this week. “The people, the fans, and my teammates — that’s what makes this place special. I want to finish what I started right here, in red and gold.”
As the Chiefs reload for another Super Bowl run, Winchester’s presence and leadership remain invaluable. “You can’t overstate what James means to this locker room,” special teams coordinator Dave Toub commented. “He sets the standard every day.”
While nothing in the NFL is ever guaranteed, one thing is clear: James Winchester intends to see his career through as a Kansas City Chief — just like the legends before him, and just like he promised.
