KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chiefs completed a rebuild at offensive tackle by signing veteran Donovan Smith to a one-year contract, the team announced Thursday.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but NFL Network reported the deal is worth up to $9 million.
Kansas City lost both starting tackles from last season — Orlando Brown to the Cincinnati Bengals and Andrew Wylie to the Washington Commanders. Earlier in free agency, the Chiefs signed Jawaan Taylor from the Jacksonville Jaguars to be one of their starters. The Chiefs selected a tackle, Wanya Morris of Oklahoma, in the third round of this year’s draft.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released Smith on March 7, one of several roster cuts they made to get under the salary cap.
He dealt with elbow and foot injuries during the 2022 season, causing him to miss four regular-season games.
