Chiefs Sign DE Demone Harris Off Ravens PS, Waive DT Joey Ivie

According to Ian Rapoport, the Chiefs are signing DE Demone Harris off of the Ravens practice squad. 

Kansas City will waive DT Joey Ivie in a corresponding move to free a spot on the active roster. 

Harris, 23, signed on with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent out of Buffalo back in May of 2018. He was waived coming out of the 2018 preseason and signed to Tampa Bay’s practice squad. 

He bounced on and off the Buccaneers’ taxi squad throughout last season and re-signed to a futures contract in December. He was doing the same this year after being waived coming out of the preseason before the Ravens signed him to the practice squad in October. 

For his career, Harris has appeared in three games for Tampa Bay but has not recorded any statistics. 

During his three-year college career at Buffalo, Harris recorded 106 total tackles, 16 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, one interception, three pass defenses, one fumble recovery, and four forced fumbles. 

Ivie, 24, is a former seventh-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2017. He was waived at the start of the regular season and later signed to the Falcons’ practice squad.

Atlanta brought Ivie back on a futures contract in 2018 before being waived with an injury settlement in June. After a brief stint with the Seahawks, he joined the Chiefs and returned to Kansas City on a futures contract for 2019. 

Ivie has bounced back and forth between the Chiefs active roster and practice squad so far this season.

In 2019, Ivie has appeared in five games for the Chiefs and recorded two tackles.
