The Kansas City Chiefs may soon see another of their veteran defenders leave Western Missouri for an opportunity with another team in free agency.

On May 19, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that Chiefs defensive lineman Janarius Robinson — a former fourth-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings and current free agent — had attended a workout with the New England Patriots.

Robinson spent the 2025 regular season with Kansas City after playing in stints with the Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, and Las Vegas Raiders. While he never played a major role for the Chiefs, Robinson's departure would mark another milestone in Kansas City's wholesale rebuild of Steve Spagnuolo's defense.

It remains unclear if Robinson agreed to a deal with New England's front office after his workout.

During his two active seasons in the NFL, Robinson has tallied 13 combined tackles, 1.5 sacks, and one pass defensed over 16 total games (three starts), according to Pro Football Reference.
