Hali has been a free agent since 2018 but had been keeping the door cracked to potentially return. This should officially close it. 

Hali, 37, is a former first-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2006. He was entering the final year of his three-year, $22 million contract and set to make a base salary of $5.75 million for the 2018 season when the Chiefs released him.

For his career, Hali appeared in 177 games for the Chiefs over 12 seasons and recorded 592 tackles, 34 tackles for loss, 89.5 sacks, 32 forced fumbles, eight recoveries and one touchdown return, two interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, 16 pass defenses and one safety. 

He was also named to six Pro Bowls.
