The Kansas City Chiefs added one other former Giants wide receiver to their arsenal in Richie James on Friday, in accordance with NFL Media.
The Chiefs agreed to a one-year take care of James, however the financial terms weren’t disclosed.
James signed a one-year take care of the Giants as a free agent last offseason with a mean salary of around $1 million and a $100,000 signing bonus, in accordance with Spotrac.
James, 27, is heading to Kansas City off of a career-best season in Recent York, having racked up 4 touchdowns and 569 yards and 57 catches.
He averaged 10 yards per reception across 17 games.

In the summertime of 2021, James suffered a knee injury that required surgery before landing in Recent York, but he proved to be a clutch performer for the Giants.
Catching his fourth touchdown in a seven-game stretch against the Colts in January, James gave the Giants the lead in what became a 38-10 rout to clinch a playoff spot.
He’s the second former Giants receiver to go to Kanas City after Big Blue traded Kadarius Toney there in October for a 3rd and a sixth round pick within the 2023 NFL Draft.
Toney, who was a bust for the Giants after being a primary round pick in 2021, was a solid contributor for the Chiefs, including an enormous day of their Super Bowl win.
James, drafted out of Middle Tennessee State University in 2018 within the seventh round by San Francisco, spent three years there and racked up only three touchdowns for 38 receptions and 689 yards for the 49ers in 40 games.
James will fill the roles of Juju Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman, who left the Chiefs in free agency, and he’ll join among the many ranks of Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Toney, and Skyy Moore.
