Overview
- New York agreed to a reserve/futures contract with Tuipulotu after Kansas City declined to renew his practice-squad deal earlier this week.
- Tuipulotu played 17 defensive snaps across three games for the Chiefs in 2025 and recorded one tackle.
- Originally a 2021 sixth-round pick out of USC, he spent three seasons with the Eagles before joining the Chiefs’ practice squad for most of 2024–2025.
- The 6-2, 307-pound interior lineman is viewed as a run-stopper to bolster depth behind All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, with a reported 2025 PFF grade of 38.6.
- Reserve/futures contracts do not count against the current 53-man roster or salary cap and take effect at the start of the new league year.
