The Kansas City Chiefs have reportedly signed a new free agent at one of the most unexpected positions that could be announced: punter. Reports are saying the Chiefs have agreed to terms with 24-year-old punter Tyler Newsome on a deal that brings a second specialist on the roster to compete with incumbent Dustin Colquitt.
Colquitt is under contract through one more season for the Chiefs and comes with a salary cap hit in 2020 of $2.65 million.
Last season was the very first offseason in which the Chiefs carried any competition at punter since Colquitt’s rookie season back in 2005.
