The Kansas City Chiefs have signed former\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Chris Oladokun\u00a0to a reserve\/future contract. He joins cornerback\u00a0Darius Rush\u00a0as the two former\u00a0Steelers\u00a0among the Chiefs’ future signings as they get into their work for the offseason.<\/p>\n

Oladokun joined the Chiefs after the Steelers released him in 2022. He never received any training camp reps with the Steelers even after being a seventh-round pick, and so they cut him loose so he could find a new home.<\/p>\n
