On Monday, Kansas City Chiefs placed the seldom-used unrestricted free agent (UFA) tender on free-agent pass rusher Melvin Ingram (More from John Dixon on what that means here).
The Chiefs acquired Ingram by trading a sixth-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers in early November of last year. In nine regular-season games (including six starts) as a Chief, Ingram compiled 15 tackles (seven solo) and 11 quarterback pressures — including a sack. Ingram had five tackles (four solo) and 2.0 sacks in three playoff games.
On Tuesday, Veach described how the Chiefs came to the decision to use the UFA tag.
