The Bills evidently wanted to add another piece to their defensive line recently. The only problem is that the player ended up signing with the Chiefs instead.
According to Chiefs Wire, defensive lineman Jarran Reed landed a one-year deal from Kansas City worth up to $7 million. Adding to that: The Athletic in KC made mention on Monday that the Chiefs beat out the Bills for Reed.
Reed plays in the middle of the D-line but the versatile player has put up some solid sack numbers in recent seasons. In 2020, Reed had 6.5 sacks for the Seahawks and then back in 2018, he had 10.5.
Earlier this offseason the Bills pursued pass rusher JJ Watt but he eventually landed on the Cardinals instead.
Pursuing Reed, who only signed with the Chiefs over the weekend, at minimal, shows that the Bills would still like to add to their pass rush this offseason. Thus far, Buffalo has yet to add anyone with the 2021 NFL Draft just around the corner.
