Charles signed a one-day contract with the Chiefs to retire with the team who originally drafted him back in 2008. In his nine seasons with the Chiefs Charles averaged an insane 5.5 YPC. He was one of the best running backs of his generation, both in real life and in fantasy. The 32-year-old will likely wind up in the Chiefs ring of honor.
