The Chiefs defensive ends under contract included: George Karlaftis, Felix Anudike-Uzomah, Malik Herring, Truman Jones, Jordan Smith and BJ Thompson. Six-year veteran Charles Omenihu tore his ACL during the AFC Championship game and his status ahead of the training camp remains unclear.
Danna was a fifth round pick in the 2020 draft. He had a career high 50 tackles and 6.5 sacks during the 2023 season.
He is the third player that agreed to terms this week, after quarterback Carson Wentz on Monday.
Fellow 2020 draft pick running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire also agreed to terms with the team this week.
