Kurt Coleman and Andy Reid are back together again.
Coleman’s agent Blake Baratz announced on Twitter that the safety has signed a contract with the Chiefs for the 2014 season. Coleman was released by the Vikings as Minnesota got down to 53 players over the weekend, but spent the first four years of his career in Philadelphia and played for Reid in three of those seasons.
Coleman made 29 starts while Reid was the Eagles coach, but is ticketed for a backup role in Kansas City. Eric Berry and Husain Abdullah are going to start, but the team was short on experienced depth and Berry’s been bothered by a heel issue throughout the summer.
Kelcie McCray and undrafted rookie Daniel Sorensen are the other safeties currently on the Chiefs roster, although the corresponding roster move to bring Coleman on board could change that. The Chiefs also have five running backs at present, so the move may come from another area.
