Watch highlights of defensive lineman Jarran Reed, who is near a deal with the Chiefs
The Chiefs appear poised to add an new piece to their defensive line.
Former Seattle defensive tackle Jarran Reed and the Chiefs are closing in on a one-year contract, The Star’s Sam McDowell reported.
Reed, 28, has 22 sacks and 58 quarterback hits during his five seasons in the NFL, all with the Seahawks.
A year ago, Reed had 6 1/2 sacks and 14 quarterback hits in 16 games with Seattle. During his first three seasons with the Seahawks, Reed was teammates with Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark.
