Osemele is reportedly signing a one-year deal with Kansas City is worth up to $2 million.

Last year, Osemele made the decision last year to undergo the shoulder procedure against the wishes of the Jets, which ultimately led to his release.

The Raiders traded Osemele to the Jets this offseason for a fifth-round pick. He was later released by the Jets in October of last year and sat out the remainder of the season. 

In 2019, Osemele appeared in three games for the Jets, making three starts.
