Carlos Dunlap says he and Chiefs are open to possibility of his return to Kansas City
Pro Football Reference shows the all-time leaders for sacks since the statistic became official in 1982. There’s also a list of the unofficial leaders.
Defensive end Carlos Dunlap is on both lists.
Dunlap got his 100th career sack last season with the Chiefs, and he played in all 20 regular-season and playoff games with Kansas City. He had four sacks in the 2022 season, while playing 50% of snaps.
A few weeks after helping the Chiefs win Super Bowl LVII, Dunlap celebrated his 34th birthday.
Dunlap is a free agent, and he told Forbes’ Jeff Fedotin that he plans to play in the 2023 season. Dunlap said the Chiefs have expressed interest in bringing him back.
“I can help another team get one of their own or help the Chiefs again,” Dunlap told Fedotin. “The Chiefs haven’t ruled that out, but currently it’s a waiting game.”
Dunlap, who received his Super Bowl LVII championship ring last week at Union Station, said he’d love to run it back with the Chiefs. He signed a one-year, $3 million contract with Kansas City a year ago.
The NFLPA public salary-cap report shows the Chiefs have a touch more than $1 million in cap space available.
“The Chiefs obviously have a special spot for me because they were the first team to help me win a playoff game and to win a Super Bowl,” Dunlap said. “So that would be a great opportunity.”
