BREAKING NEWS!! Chiefs pass rusher Mike Danna got a 3-year, $24M deal that includes $13M guaranteed that keeps him in Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – The Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive line room will look very similar to its 2023 version.
On Friday, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported the Kansas City Chiefs agreed to terms with defensive end Mike Danna on a deal that keeps the former Michigan man in Kansas City on a long-term basis.
Garafolo reported that Danna’s deal was for three years.
Danna played in 16 regular season games for Kansas City in 2023 and had a career-high 6.5-sacks lining up opposite of defensive end George Karlaftis and alongside defensive tackle Chris Jones.
He was drafted by Kansas City in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft with the 177th overall selection.
Danna is a two-time Super Bowl champion. The 26-year-old will turn 27 in December. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said the deal is for up to $24 million over three seasons and includes $13 million guaranteed.
Danna joins the aforementioned Jones, defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi and defensive tackle Mike Pennel as defensive lineman who re-signed with Kansas City this off-season. The Chiefs will also bring back defensive line coach Joe Cullen and signed defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo to a contract extension on Feb. 14.
