KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs are signing defensive lineman Jerry Tillery and bringing back running back Kareem Hunt, who stepped in last season and helped them reach the Super Bowl, two people familiar with the deals told The Associated Press on Friday.
The people, speaking on condition of anonymity because neither deal had been announced, said that Tillery and Hunt had agreed to one-year contracts. The pair of veterans help to address two glaring holes in the Kansas City depth chart.
The 28-year-old Tillery was a first-round pick of the AFC West-rival Chargers in 2019, then continued his tour of the division by playing for the Raiders.
