More details have been emerging on how it came to pass that the Kansas City Chiefs were able to sign former Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Jarran Reed to a favorable one-year contract.
It all began last week, when the Seattle Seahawks re-signed defensive end Carlos Dunlap to a two-year contract worth $16.6 million. After being traded by the Cincinnati Bengals last season, Dunlap had agreed to restructure his existing contract— as long as the Seahawks would agree that in the coming offseason, they would release him so he could test free agency if they couldn’t immediately come to terms.
