The Kansas City Chiefs have officially announced some re-signings on Thursday, including one that hadn’t yet been reported.
In addition to the re-signing backup QB Chad Henne, DT Derrick Nnadi and former starting center Austin Reiter, the Chiefs also brought back TE Blake Bell. A former fourth-round draft pick by the San Francisco 49ers in 2015, the Witchita, Kansas native returns for his third season in Kansas City.
He’s appeared in 31 games for the Chiefs with 12 starts in 2019 and 2021. He spent the 2020 NFL season in Dallas with the Cowboys, but he returned to Kansas City after a year away. He’ll still need a few more seasons before he can rival his uncle, Mike Bell, who played 13 seasons and started 100 games for the Chiefs franchise.
