Best of luck to Mike DeVito, the former Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive end who announced his retirement on Monday. But his departure from the game doesn’t alter their depth chart or their need to add another player at his position.
DeVito was a free agent, and it certainly appears the Chiefs were planning for life without him. They re-signed another defensive lineman, Jaye Howard, early in free agency. That was a sign DeVito was probably going to need to sign with another team if he was going to continue his career.
The Chiefs have Howard, Dontari Poe and Allen Bailey as their three regulars.
