The primary waves of NFL free agency have washed to shore, leaving the Kansas City Chiefs with four external signings — including three on defense: defensive lineman Charles Omenihu, linebacker Drue Tranquill and safety Mike Edwards.
Omenihu is the only one of the trio that signed a deal lasting past 2023, agreeing to a two-year contract that has low guarantees in the second season. Each defender is 27 years old or younger, meaning they're all in a position to earn another contract. That's especially true for Edwards and Tranquill, two players who had the most impactful seasons of their careers as starters last year to finish their rookie deals.
