The Kansas City Chiefs signed two-time Pro Bowler Carlos Dunlap to a one-year deal worth up to $8 million on Thursday, according to reports.

Dunlap, 33, joins the Chiefs' roster after one season with the Seattle Seahawks, where was traded to in 2020 following a 10-year run with the Cincinnati Bengals, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

The former second-round pick played in all 17 games last year, recording 35 tackles, 8.5 sacks and one forced fumble for a Seattle team that went 7-10.

In his 12-year career to date, Dunlap has recorded 96 sacks and remained very durable, playing in no less than 12 games in a season.

The Chiefs will slot in Dunlap to a pass rushing group that includes another former Seahawk defensive end, Frank Clark, and 2022 first-round pick George Karlaftis.

Last year, the Chiefs acquired Melvin Ingram III from the Pittsburgh Steelers in a November trade in an attempt to add more firepower alongside Clark and defensive tackle Chris Jones, but the Miami Dolphins signed Ingram away in free agency to a one-year deal in May.
