In 2024, the Kansas City Chiefs learned about the importance of quality depth at cornerback the hard way. Star cornerback Trent McDuffie was undeniably elite in coverage — earning second-team All-Pro honors — but it didn’t matter for a long stretch of the season. While cornerback Jaylen Watson was hurt, the Chiefs’ pass coverage was dreadful.
So it’s no surprise that one of the biggest transactions the Chiefs have made in free agency addresses the position: on Tuesday, Kansas City reportedly agreed to terms with former Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Kristian Fulton.
