who did the chiefs just sign
The Kansas City Chiefs’ most recent moves have been depth and futures signings rather than a big blockbuster name, adding several young offensive skill players and defenders on reserve/future deals for the 2026 offseason.
Latest Chiefs signings
Over the past few days, the Chiefs have signed multiple players to reserve/future contracts and practice-squad style deals aimed at building the 2026 offseason roster. These are typically low‑risk signings that give the team extra competition going into OTAs and training camp.
Notable recent names
- Linebacker Kam Arnold (Boston College product, converted DB‑to‑LB, undrafted in 2025) signed a reserve/future deal after impressing in late‑season tryouts.
- Defensive tackle Marcus Harris was also added as an interior defensive line prospect on a reserve/future contract.
- Wide receiver Jimmy Holiday returned on a contract after previously spending time with Kansas City as an undrafted preseason standout and practice‑squad player.
- Offensive tackle Matt Waletzko signed to bolster offensive line depth and compete for a roster spot heading into 2026.
- Wide receiver Andrew Armstrong and running back ShunDerrick Powell were signed to reserve/future deals, adding more competition at the offensive skill positions.
What “just signed” likely means
Because the question is “who did the Chiefs just sign,” the most up‑to‑the‑minute answer points to this cluster of reserve/future signings in early January 2026. If the team makes a splashier veteran signing (for example, a big‑name free agent closer to the new league year), that would show up as a separate, later transaction.
