Kilgore, 33, is a former fifth-round pick of the 49ers back in 2011. He spent the first seven years of his NFL career in San Francisco and was set to enter unrestricted free agency when he signed a three-year extension worth nearly $12 million back in 2018.
The 49ers later traded Kilgore to the Dolphins a month after signing him to the deal in order to move up a few spots in the seventh round. The Dolphins later declined Kilgore’s contract option and he became a free agent in 2020.
Kilgore eventually signed on with the Chiefs in August of last year.
Over his 10-year career with the 49ers, Dolphins and Chiefs, Kilgore appeared in 88 games and made 60 starts.
