The Kansas City Chiefs are adding a Pro Bowl player to their roster a week after they made a second-round pick a healthy scratch before their 30-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.
The Chiefs have had issues with the left tackle positions this season. Last season, the team had Donovan Smith anchoring the left side of the line before he entered free agency this spring.
The Kansas City Chiefs benched a rookie
Earlier in the week, head coach Andy Reid suggested rookie Kingsley Suamataia had taken a step back in his development this season, which made the Chiefs opt to start second-year offensive lineman Wanya Morris. Reid said general manager Brett Veach would keep an eye on adding a veteran left tackle.
The Chiefs signed DJ Humphries
Per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Chiefs are signing DH Humphries.
“The Chiefs are giving former Pro Bowl LT DJ Humphries a salary that pays him $2M with a max value of $4.5M for the rest of the season in a deal done by AMDG Sports,” Rapoport posted on X. “Big money this time of year. (Edited for clarity.)”
