The Kansas City Chiefs signed a familiar name back to the roster on Tuesday as veteran safety Mike Edwards returned for his second stint with the team.

Edwards, who appeared in 17 games (with 5 starts) for the Chiefs in 2023, signed with Kansas City on Tuesday after splitting last season with the Buffalo Bills (3 games) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5 games).

The 28-year-old Edwards logged 621 snaps for the Chiefs' defense in 2023, which ranked second in the NFL in scoring (17.3 points-per-game) and yards allowed-per-game (289.8).

In terms of individual numbers, Edwards tallied five passes defensed, two tackles-for-loss, two fumble recoveries, an interception, a sack and a defensive touchdown during his lone season with Kansas City.

Now back in town, Edwards will have an opportunity to pick up where he left off as a member of Steve Spagnuolo's defense.
