Chiefs Add Former Patriots CB to Secondary

FOXBORO, MA. — After hosting a workout for multiple free agents yesterday, the Kansas City Chiefs have decided to have a former New England Patriots defender sign the dotted line.

Azizi Hearn, a cornerback who spent almost two years with the Patriots on both their practice squad and training camp active roster, signed a free agent contract to join the Chiefs ahead of their preseason opener next week, his agency announced Friday.

Hearn originally signed with New England early in the 2023 season, but wasn't activated for a regular season game. The next summer, he struggled in the team's three preseason games and was released as part of the league's cut down day.
