SEATTLE -- Defensive tackle Jarran Reed's refusal to move money around in his contract for salary-cap purposes led to his release last week by the Seattle Seahawks, a source confirmed ESPN.
Reed has since signed a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs. It includes $5 million guaranteed and up to $7 million In total, according to the NFL Network.
He was set to make nearly $9 million from the Seahawks in 2021.
Seattle wanted Reed to agree to what's known as a simple restructure that would have paid him the same amount and given the Seahawks some immediate cap relief.
