Chiefs Add 563-Catch Tight End to Pair with Travis Kelce

Kansas City, MO – Ngày 16 tháng 5 năm 2025

The Kansas City Chiefs have strengthened their offense by signing veteran tight end Evan Engram, sources confirmed to NFL Network. With 563 career receptions, Engram joins Travis Kelce, providing Patrick Mahomes with a seasoned weapon to fuel their 2025 Super Bowl aspirations.

Engram, 30, previously played for the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he recorded 114 receptions in the 2023 season before becoming a free agent. General Manager Brett Veach, working with a $10 million cap space, views Engram as a perfect complement to Kelce, who is expected to take on a more impactful but less stat-heavy role in 2025 after a regression in 2024. The return of DeAndre Hopkins, acquired mid-2024, further underscores the urgency to upgrade the offense.

“Engram is a proven veteran,” Veach told The Kansas City Star. “He’ll make our offense more dynamic.”

The Chiefs acquire Evan Engram, a tight end with 5,668 yards and 35 touchdowns across 127 career games. Although his production has slightly dipped in recent years, Engram’s speed (4.42-second 40-yard dash) and red-zone presence will complement the receiving skills of Kelce and Noah Gray in Andy Reid’s scheme. Engram’s 1-year, $4 million deal is a low-risk move, saving cap space compared to retaining Blake Bell, who had just 6 receptions in 2024.

The Chiefs, who added Brashard Smith and Ashton Gillotte in the 2025 NFL Draft, needed a second tight end to support Mahomes’ 4,512-yard offense from 2024. Engram surpasses Bell and Jody Fortson in offensive contribution, while also enhancing the passing game, particularly against tough defenses like the Buffalo Bills or Philadelphia Eagles. With Hopkins’ return, Engram’s addition promises to bring depth and experience to the Chiefs’ offense.
