KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs continue making moves this offseason and are strengthening their defensive line.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, defensive tackle Jarran Reed has agreed to a one year deal worth up to $7 million with the Chiefs.

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
