Kelvin Benjamin, Chiefs Reportedly Agree to 1-Year Contract After Bills Release

Free-agent wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin is signing with the Kansas City Chiefs on a one-year deal, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Thursday. He'll be a free agent again after the 2018 campaign.

The 6'5", 245-pound Benjamin was released by the Buffalo Bills on December 4 and went unclaimed on waivers.

Buffalo acquired the 27-year-old veteran from the Carolina Panthers in October 2017, but he couldn't find success in Western New York.

After posting a pedestrian 16 catches for 217 yards and a touchdown in 2017, the bottom fell out in 2018 as he caught just 23 passes on 62 targets for 354 yards and one touchdown in 12 games.
