The Kansas City Chiefs are searching for answers in an ailing secondary, and their latest attempts to find them has brought in former Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Josh Shaw.
The Chiefs announced the signing on Tuesday and the corresponding roster move by releasing tight end Alex Ellis.
Shaw was the Bengals’ fourth round pick of the 2015 NFL Draft who played in all 16 games in each of his three years with the team. Shaw started only 14 games in that time, 12 of them in 2016. He was cut earlier this year with an injury settlement so as to not take up a spot on injured reserve, but even then it was a possibility the Bengals would want him back when he was healthy again.
