After recently releasing him to make room for LB Cole Christiansen, the KC Chiefs reunited with DT Matt Dickerson by re-signing him on Monday.
' eligibility window to begin their first OTA session of the 2024 offseason. Additionally, it also revealed a reunion with a familiar face the club parted ways with not too long ago.Dickerson, 28, is an undrafted free agent who started his career with the Tennessee Titans. After multiple seasons there, he spent the 2022 campaign with the Atlanta Falcons and then joined Kansas City thereafter.
The hierarchy of the Chiefs' defensive tackle picture is now even more interesting. As things currently stand, All-Pro Chris Jones and longtime member of the team Derrick Nnadi are expected to start at three-tech and nose tackle, respectively. Behind them, it could be a free-for-all of sorts with Dickerson competing with players like Tershawn Wharton and Neil Farrell Jr. for reps. Mike Pennel and Isaiah Buggs, both returning for 2024, should also be taken into account.
At or near the bottom of the depth chart, this could mean something for undrafted free agent Fabien Lovett Sr. General manager Brett Veach is clearly fond of him, as helater this year. Bringing Dickerson back makes for another body to fight with, which should bring out the best of the rookie but also serve as a serious challenge.
Dickerson won't move the needle in a major way, but his re-signing could have a ripple effect on how things shake out along the interior of the defensive line this summer.Jordan Foote is the deputy editor of Arrowhead Report on SI.com, covering the Kansas City Chiefs.
