The Kansas City Chiefs are signing free-agent pass-rusher Carlos Dunlap to a one-year contract worth up to $8 million, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.

Dunlap reportedly met with the Chiefs on Wednesday for his second free-agent visit. He had a workout with the Carolina Panthers in June.

The Chiefs needed to add experience to their defensive end group, which includes Frank Clark, rookie George Karlaftis, and Mike Danna.

Dunlap began his career with the Cincinnati Bengals as a second-round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. He racked up 83.5 sacks in 10-and-a-half seasons before being traded to the Seattle Seahawks midway through the 2020 campaign.

The 33-year-old produced 13.5 sacks in 25 appearances before Seattle released him in March.
