Chiefs Sign Defensive Tackle Khyiris Tonga to Three-Year Deal

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga to a three-year, $21 million contract with $14 million guaranteed. Tonga, a 335-pound run-stuffer, played a key role in the Patriots' 2025 AFC Championship run. While he offers limited pass-rush production, his strength and leverage make him a vital addition to the Chiefs' run defense. He may also serve as a de facto fullback in short-yardage situations, providing unique versatility to Kansas City's revamped defensive front.
