In a division flush with great quarterbacks, the Chiefs are looking at the possibility of signing a player who specializes in stopping them.

Per a league source, the Chiefs will host defensive end Carlos Dunlap for a visit on Wednesday night.

Dunlap, 33, was a second-round pick of the Bengals in 2010. He spent 10-plus years with the Bengals, before being traded to the Seahawks during the 2020 season. He played in Seattle through 2021.

He has 96 career sacks. Last year with the Seahawks, Dunlap notched 8.5 of them.

The Chiefs have veteran Frank Clark. They drafted pass rusher George Karlaftis in the first round earlier this year.

  1. Makes sense. Gives Karlaftis time to adjust to the Pro level or possibly takes Clark’s reps if the rookie balls out. Make it happen Veach!

  2. As a Chiefs fan I hope they can make this happen. Dunlap would make a fine veteran addition at defensive end and hopefully repeat last year’s sack total. Add that to what I think will be a big rookie season for Karlaftis and Chenal off the edge and the Chiefs might field a respectable defense.

  3. You have to wonder why the Seahawks didn’t even try to resign him. 8.5 sacks when playing less than a third of the defensive snaps? That’s pretty darn good. So it gives you pause to consider what has occurred that made the Seahawks not even offer a vet minimum. Hmmmm……..

  4. Guys who have done what it takes to last in the league for more than a decade are pursuing a SB ring.

  5. Makes sense. Gives Karlaftis time to adjust to the Pro level or possibly takes Clark’s reps if the rookie balls out. Make it happen Veach!

    Honestly I think this is for Clark. They will rotate Clark and Dunlap to keep each fresh. They are going to let Karlaftis learn by fire and his motor he’ll never slow down.

  6. One of the few players that kept the Seahawks D respectable.

    They would have kept him if they weren’t switching to the 3-4.

  7. I liked Dunlop with the Seahawks and was sad to see him go. But, so much is changing the Seattle’s team. Wish him luck.
