Free-agent linebacker Gerald Hodges visits Chiefs, leaves KC without deal

Former San Francisco 49ers inside linebacker Gerald Hodges recently visited the Chiefs and left without a contract agreement, two sources with knowledge of the visit told The Kansas City Star.

Hodges, 26, recorded a career-high 83 tackles and three sacks in 15 games last season. He was a fourth-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2013 but was traded to San Francisco after the emergence of 2015 second-round pick Eric Kendricks.

The Chiefs’ best inside linebacker, Derrick Johnson, is rehabbing a Achilles tendon he tore in December. He hopes to be ready by training camp.
