For Jarran Reed and the #Chiefs, it’s a 1-year deal worth up to $7M with $5M guaranteed, source said. Very nice in this market, with a chance to cash in next year. Had it been about the money, he would’ve stayed in Seattle. https://t.co/OYBWgHr6q4

Reed was drafted No. 49 overall by Seattle in 2016. He had 50 tackles and 10.5 sacks in 2018, which was his best season. He had 38 tackles and 6.5 sacks last season for Seattle.

Reed was in a contract dispute with the Seahawks and ultimately got released on Friday. Just two days later, he has a deal with the defending AFC champions. He will likely be a part of Kansas City’s rotation on the defensive line.
