KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs added to their defensive line on Sunday.
Defensive tackle Jarran Reed has signed a one-year deal with Kansas City that’s worth up to $7 million, according to reports.
For Jarran Reed and the #Chiefs, it’s a 1-year deal worth up to $7M with $5M guaranteed, source said. Very nice in this market, with a chance to cash in next year. Had it been about the money, he would’ve stayed in Seattle. https://t.co/OYBWgHr6q4
