NFL Free Agency will soon get this offseason underway, and the Kansas City Chiefs have impactful personnel decisions to make. One of the pressing positions will be in the secondary as the team hopes to fortify the defensive unit.

During a recent interview with the Winchester Star's Robert Niedzwiecki. Nazeeh Johnson expressed a desire to return to the Chiefs this offseason instead of exploring options in free agency.

"I think (Chiefs) are going to bring me back," Johnson said. "I can test the market and see how much I'm valued, but the Chiefs know what I can do. We can't have communication right now because of the (free agency regulations), but I have a good understanding with them. They know my talent level."

A 2022 seventh-round pick, Johnson made significant strides in 2024 after returning from a torn ACL before the start of his second season. The former Marshall standout emerged from being a top-tier special teams player for Dave Toub to becoming a starter opposite All-Pro Trent McDuffie in multiple games following the injury to Jaylen Watson.

Johnson didn't play any defensive snaps last season. He has appeared in 29 games with a lone sack and 66 career tackles.
