The Kansas City Chiefs signed defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga to a three-year, $21 million contract with $14 million guaranteed, adding depth to their defensive line. The 29-year-old, who started eight games for the Patriots in 2025, recorded career highs in tackles for loss, quarterback hits, and batted passes. He will need to change his jersey number as Chris Jones wears No. 95. The move follows the Chiefs’ acquisition of running back Kenneth Walker III and comes as they prepare for the 2026 season.
