Charlton signed with the Dolphins two games into last season and appeared in 10 games with sacks for Miami.
Overall, he has 67 career tackles and nine sacks in 37 career games, including 12 starts. He had shoulder surgery in January 2019.
Charlton joins a defensive-end rotation that includes Frank Clark, Alex Okafor, Tanoh Kpassagnon and Demone Harris.
He becomes the third former Michigan defensive lineman on the Chiefs’ roster along with Frank Clark and 2020 fifth-round pick Michael Danna.
Backup quarterback Chad Henne and undrafted rookie cornerback Lavert Hill also played for the Wolverines.
