Kansas City, MO. The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/span>\u00a0strengthened their secondary this offseason by landing a veteran safety who surprisingly chose a smaller contract in order to join one of the NFL\u2019s most successful franchises.<\/p>\n

According to sources close to the negotiations, the\u00a0Las Vegas Raiders<\/span>\u00a0had offered a\u00a0three-year deal worth roughly $30 million<\/strong>\u00a0in an effort to bring the veteran defensive back to Las Vegas. Financially, it was the most lucrative proposal on the table.<\/p>\n

But the player ultimately chose a different path.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs and\u00a0Alohi Gilman<\/span>\u00a0agreed to a\u00a0three-year contract worth $24.75 million<\/strong>, a deal that was smaller than the Raiders\u2019 offer but came with the opportunity to compete immediately for a championship.<\/p>\n
