Veteran Linebacker Josh Mauga Didn't Want to Be Anywhere But Kansas City

One of Brett Veach's first moves as the new general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs was re-signing veteran linebacker Josh Mauga.

Mauga, who started 30 games and racked up 161 tackles, 1.5 sacks, six pass deflections and two interceptions in his two seasons with the Chiefs (2014-15), was happy to get the call.

“Kansas is my home now,” Mauga said. “And I definitely wanted to come back and play for the Chiefs.”

Mauga missed all of last season due to a hip injury.

“Ending the season so early, it was rough,” Mauga, who was injured before last training camp, said.
