This page lists all the 2025 NFL Signings for the Kansas City Chiefs. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the Signings. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the Signings, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL Signings here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

March 2025 – Signings
Chiefs sign WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (1 year, $1.42 million): B Grade
signed on 3/15/2025
It seems like forever ago that JuJu Smith-Schuster was regarded as one of the bright, young receivers in the NFL. Smith-Schuster, however, has declined each year since his brilliant rookie campaign. He had a terrific performance against the Saints last year on a Monday night, but did nothing otherwise.
Re-signing Smith-Schuster is fine, but it won’t move the needle at all. This is just for depth purposes in case the Chiefs suffer a high number of injuries at receiver.

Chiefs sign QB Gardner Minshew (1 year, $1.17 million): A Grade
signed on 3/13/2025
I never thought I’d give a Gardner Minshew contract an “A” grade, yet here we are. It’s a weird timeline, I suppose.
I’ve said this a million times, but average backup quarterbacks make about $4 million per year. I’d say Minshew is an average backup at the very least. Two years ago, he nearly led the Colts to the playoffs, after all. Given that, I don’t understand how he couldn’t find a team to give him $4 million per season. This $1.17 million is a steal. A steal for Minshew, but a steal nonetheless.

Chiefs re-sign DE Charles Omenihu (1 year, $7 million): A Grade
signed on 3/20/2025
It makes sense that Charles Omenihu settled for a 1-year “prove it” deal. He would’ve gotten more than that, but he was coming off a down season because he was returning from a torn ACL. Omenihu is a talented edge rusher and should be able to outplay this contract. I love the great value the Chiefs are getting with him.

Chiefs re-sign RB Kareem Hunt (1 year, $1.5 million): B Grade
signed on 3/17/2025
This signing is confusing. The Chiefs signed Elijah Mitchell, so I assumed they would be going with him as the backup to Isiah Pacheco. I suppose it never hurts to have competition, but it would not be ideal if Hunt won it, barring injury, given how inefficient of a runner he was last year. Hunt is now 30, so the regression will continue.
