Chiefs Secure Jaylon Moore and Elijah Mitchell From 49ers in Free Agency Moves
Kansas City addresses key roster needs by signing offensive tackle Jaylon Moore and running back Elijah Mitchell from San Francisco.
- 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.
