Published: Jan 08, 2016 at 11:39 AM

Tight end Demetrius Harris will be staying in Kansas City for a while.

Just hours before the team takes the field against the Houston Texans, the Chiefs and Harris agreed on a contract extension.

According to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, Harris has agreed to a three-year deal worth up to $6.3 million, per a source.

Harris is the Chiefs second-string tight end behind Travis Kelce. He hauled in seven catches for 74 yards and a touchdown in the regular season.

The second-year tight end is viewed as a raw talent with good blocking skills. He played basketball in college before signing with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in 2013.
