Reports: Chiefs signing suspended CB Claiborne

The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to terms with suspended free-agent cornerback Morris Claiborne, multiple outlets reported Thursday. Claiborne is scheduled to fly to Kansas City on Thursday night to sign a contract, pending the results of a physical. NFL Network reported it was a one-year deal worth up to $1.5 million.

The NFL earlier this week suspended Claiborne for the first four weeks of the 2019 season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. Claiborne, 29, started 15 games with the New York Jets last season and registered 57 tackles, 14 passes defended and two interceptions.

He has played in 77 games with the Dallas Cowboys (2012-16) and Jets (2017-18), logging seven picks and 251 tackles. Plagued by injuries early in his career, the No. 6 overall selection in the 2012 NFL Draft missed 33 games in five seasons with Dallas before starting 30 of 32 games with New York.
