Andy Reid is adding another BYU guy to his operation.
The Kansas City Chiefs have signed former Cougar defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga to a three-year, $21 million deal, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
Tonga spent the past season with the New England Patriots, starting in eight regular-season games and helping the team reach the Super Bowl.
In addition to his work at defensive tackle, Tonga also appeared as a blocking fullback for the Patriots in special packages.
Since being drafted back in 2021, Tonga has played for the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals and Patriots, now finding an extended home in Kansas City, where he’ll play for a famous BYU alum in Reid and alongside another former Cougar in offensive lineman Kingsley Suamataia.
Tonga is the second former BYU player to get a free agent deal on Monday, joining former Cougars star running back Tyler Allgeier, who is headed to Arizona.
