All-Pro linebacker Derrick Johnson will sign a one-day contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, then retire, 610 Sports Radio reported Thursday.
Johnson is expected to sign the contract next week.
Now 36, he was the Chiefs’ first-round draft pick, No. 15 overall, in 2005. He played 13 seasons for Kansas City, and in 182 games (169 starts), he had 1,151 tackles, 14 interceptions, 27.5 sacks and 40 quarterback hits.
He played in six games for Oakland last season after the Chiefs released him and started in one. He had 17 tackles with the Raiders.
On Wednesday, former Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles signed a one-day contract with the team and retired after 11 NFL seasons.
