Overview
- The Kansas City Chiefs signed offensive tackle Jaylon Moore to a two-year, $30 million deal, with $21.24 million guaranteed, solidifying their left tackle position.
- Moore, previously a backup for the 49ers behind Trent Williams, showed potential during his starting opportunities in the 2024 season, earning strong pass-blocking grades from Pro Football Focus.
- The Chiefs also signed running back Elijah Mitchell to a one-year contract worth up to $3.5 million, providing a younger, cost-effective option for their backfield.
- Mitchell, who excelled as a rookie in 2021 but struggled with injuries in recent seasons, is expected to complement starter Isiah Pacheco in Kansas City's rushing attack.
- These acquisitions address critical needs for the Chiefs, particularly at left tackle following struggles in the 2024 season and a lack of depth in the upcoming NFL Draft.
