The Kansas City Chiefs didn’t make their fans wait long to sign a defensive end in free agency.
Thursday evening, Alex Okafor joined the Chiefs on a three year deal worth up to $24 million. After losing both Dee Ford in a trade and Justin Houston in a cap-saving release, the Chiefs were in dire need of a player on the edge of Steve Spagnuolo’s four-man fronts.
Okafor shows comfort with his hand in the dirt or standing up, and was an every-down player for the New Orleans Saints in 2017 before an Achilles tear ended his season prematurely.
