Free-agent tight end Irv Smith Jr., previously with the Vikings and Bengals, has signed a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, according to multiple sources including @AdamSchefter. Smith, who was ranked last out of 44 tight ends in yards per route run in 2023 with a statistic of 0.51, is seen as a potential backup to Travis Kelce and Noah Gray. Despite this, his move to the Chiefs has been described as having some upside.
