The Kansas City Chiefs continue to add depth to head coach Andy Reid’s roster for the 2025 NFL season, this time bringing in a former player who will now team up with Patrick Mahomes after arriving from the Las Vegas Raiders, the team partially owned by Tom Brady.

Andy Reid will have a new face on the Kansas City Chiefs heading into the 2025 NFL season. A new player is joining the Missouri franchise’s defense after coming over from the Las Vegas Raiders, the team partially owned by Tom Brady. With this move, the roster led by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes gains another option to contribute on the field.

Joining Andy Reid’s Chiefs is a step forward for any player in the league, especially when sharing the field with a star like Mahomes. In this case, the Raiders lose a player who, while not a central figure, will now provide valuable depth to Kansas City’s defensive line.

Las Vegas is aiming to significantly improve its performance compared to last year, and Brady‘s role as a minority owner will be essential to achieving that goal. However, he’ll now have to deal with another absence on the roster. The Chiefs, meanwhile, will look to meet high expectations after losing the Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Andy Reid’s Chiefs’ new signing

The newest addition to head coach Andy Reid’s Chiefs is none other than defensive end Janarius Robinson, as confirmed by his agency, SportsTrust Advisors. The 26-year-old spent the last two seasons with the Raiders.

The impact of Robinson’s addition to the Chiefs

A fourth-round pick by the Vikings in the 2021 NFL Draft, Robinson will now have a new opportunity in his career as he looks to strengthen the Chiefs’ defensive line by adding depth and experience. However, he will need to compete during the preseason to secure a spot on the final roster.

What’s new in the Chiefs?

In addition to the arrival of Robinson, the Chiefs reached a one-year deal with veteran safety Mike Edwards, bringing valuable experience to the secondary. Meanwhile, wide receiver Rashee Rice, a key weapon for Mahomes, continues to recover from a knee injury sustained in 2024.
