Chiefs sign Western Kentucky UDFA cornerback Kahlef Hailassie

The Kansas City Chiefs have confirmed that on Sunday morning, the team signed undrafted free-agent rookie cornerback Kahlef Hailassie.

No contract details are yet available.

During the hours following the conclusion of the NFL Draft, the Western Kentucky prospect was reported to have been signed by the New York Jets. In fact, reports indicated New York had signed him to a deal guaranteeing him $167,500 of his $750,000 rookie salary.

But after that, something went wrong. Hailassie was not on the list of 13 new UDFA signings the Jets released on Friday morning.
