Chiefs To Sign RB Emari Demercado

The Chiefs continue to revamp their running backs room. After agreeing to a deal with Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker, the team is now adding Emari Demercado to the mix, [per Jordan Schultz](https://x.com/Schultz_Report/status/2032251490740359449).

The former Cardinals running back is joining Kansas City via a one-year deal. The signing comes following a tumultuous final season in Arizona for Demercado.

The third-year RB entered the season as the RB3 behind James Conner and Trey Benson, but he stuck in the role even after each of his teammates suffered season-ending injuries. He got a look alongside replacements Michael Carter and Bam Knight in Week 5 prior to his headline-grabbing gaffe.

Demercado was set to score on a 72-yard touchdown run but let go of the ball for a touchback right before he crossed the goal line. Coach Jonathan Gannon was seen yelling at his RB following the play, and the coach eventually incurred a $100K fine after appearing to shove Demercado.
