The Kansas City cheese bolstered their defense on Monday night by signing veteran safety alohi Gilman to a three-year deal. The 28-year-old comes over from the Los Angeles Chargers and Baltimore Ravens, stepping in as a leader for a secondary losing key players. Like safety, Brian Cook, and several cornerbacks, Gilman spent six seasons with the chargers, moving into a reliable, every-down defender before a mid-season trade to the Ravens. There, he started 12 games, allowing their star safety to play more aggressively without leaving the deep coverage exposed. This move addresses a thin safety group featuring unproven talents like Jaden Hicks and Shamari Conner. Fans and analysts see it as a smart play by General Manager Brett Veach to provide stability, much like past leaders Justin Reed and Tyr and Matthew. Gilman brings a strong track record with 23 passes defended since becoming a full-time starter in 2023, plus five-forced fumbles.
