The Kansas City Chiefs have bolstered their secondary by signing veteran safety Mike Edwards to a one-year deal. The move comes as the Chiefs aim to strengthen their defensive depth for the upcoming season.
Edwards, 27, spent last season with the Chiefs, playing a key role in their Super Bowl-winning campaign. He recorded 51 tackles, one interception, and one defensive touchdown in 17 games, showcasing his versatility and playmaking ability. Before joining Kansas City, Edwards played four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he was part of their Super Bowl LV-winning squad.
Bringing back Edwards provides the Chiefs with an experienced presence in the secondary, complementing star safety Justin Reid and promising young talent Bryan Cook. His ability to contribute in coverage and run support makes him a valuable asset in defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s scheme.
The Chiefs’ front office continues to focus on retaining key contributors while making calculated additions ahead of training camp. With Edwards back in the fold, Kansas City’s defense looks well-positioned to defend their title in the 2024 NFL season.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Chiefs finalize their roster for the season ahead.
