The Kansas City Chiefs came to terms with another one of their unrestricted free agents on March 19, re-signing defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu.
NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo was one of the first to report the news, relaying: “The Chiefs are re-signing DL Marlon Tuipulotu, per his agents @NessMugrabi and @davidcanter of @aurasportsgroup. The former sixth-round pick of the [Philadelphia] Eagles was on KC’s roster for most of the regular season in 2024.”
Although Tuipulotu has yet to truly make a large impact with the Chiefs, he’s only 25 years old and still has a whole lot of potential at what is a probably the biggest area of need on the KC roster.
The 6-foot-2 Tuipulotu appeared in 2 games after joining the Chiefs, recording 1 tackle for a loss and 4 total tackles, but he could be called upon more in 2025.
Kansas City already lost veteran defensive tackles Derrick Nnadi and Tershawn Wharton in free agency, and Mike Pennel has yet to re-sign. This is a position that the Chiefs could also target in the draft but for now, Tuipulotu returns to provide some much-needed depth behind Chris Jones and newcomer Jerry Tillery.
Tuipulotu has tallied 3.0 career sacks and 5 career tackles for a loss at the NFL level.
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY. MORE TO COME.
