Jamal Adams wasn’t the only NFL player once unhappy with the Jets to find a new home on Saturday.
OL Kelechi Osemele, who played for New York in 2019, signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The contract is worth up to $2 million.
Traded to the Jets from the Raiders last offseason, Osemele played just three games for Gang Green before succumbing to a shoulder injury. That injury created a major dispute between player and team, though. Osemele, after getting multiple opinions to back him up, said he had a torn labrum. The Jets, however, fined him for missing practices. Osemele eventually got surgery without the team’s blessing, which then led to his release.
A two-time Pro Bowler, Osemele now has a chance with the reigning Super Bowl champs. The Chiefs were in need of a guard after Laurent Duvernay-Tardif opted out of the 2020 season.
