On Thursday — one week ahead of Day 1 of the NFL Draft — Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach spoke to the media. It marked the first opportunity to publicly hear from the general manager since signing several free agents, including former Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Mike Edwards and Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Drue Tranquill.
Veach and the Chiefs signed Edwards on March 17.
“Mike Edwards was a guy that we actually have a lot of familiarity with,” said the GM. “A couple of years ago, when (former Chiefs linebackers coach) Matt House was here, we brought him from Kentucky — he was a [defensive coordinator] at Kentucky.
