According to ESPN’s Bill Barnwell, many teams in the AFC have made significant free-agent signings this offseason. The Kansas City Chiefs’ signing of a veteran defensive back is considered their best deal.
Best: Signing Kader Kohou to a one-year deal for roughly the league minimum. The Chiefs have drafted and developed plenty of cornerbacks under coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, but they’ve also been willing to take their chances on young CBs who aren’t at their peak value in the hopes of building them up,” wrote Barnwell, “Kohou’s career hasn’t gone as expected in just about every way. An undrafted free agent, Kohou made the Dolphins’ roster in 2022 and excelled as a rookie, posting an 83.2 passer rating in coverage. He looked like a building block in the making, but Kohou struggled badly in 2023 under Vic Fangio and lost his every-down role.”
At 5 ft 10, 197 pounds, Kohou showcases exceptional speed and agility with the ability to contribute on special teams as a returner. He suffered a torn ACL in training camp with the Dolohins and was ruled out for the 2025 season.
Kohou has 38 career starts, 190 tackles, and 3 interceptions.
