New Chiefs defensive end Carlos Dunlap played just 38% of the Seattle Seahawks’ defensive snaps last season but says he wants to be an every-down player for Kansas City.

You’ll hear those comments and more on today’s episode of The Star’s SportsBeat KC podcast. Chiefs beat writers Herbie Teope and Jesse Newell discuss Dunlap’s time in Seattle and what the Chiefs are hoping Dunlap will contribute to their defensive end rotation this fall.

Also, you’ll hear why rookie wide receiver Skyy Moore sits behind Patrick Mahomes in meetings, and how defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is challenged by the Chiefs’ rookies.
